[14] Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. [15] For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we  are, yet without sin.

[8] “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. [9] “For  as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
 
 3. ‭‭‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
