How do Paul’s words apply to them? In what way can the “other sheep ” keep in mind“ the things above ”? And how can all of us benefit by considering the examples of such faithful men of old as Abraham and Moses who despite personal hardships kept their minds fixed on the things above?
(‏ ١ بط ٢ :‏ ٢١‏ )‏ فَعَلَى غِرَارِ مَا وَاجَهَهُ إِخْوَتُنَا فِي ٱلْقَرْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ،‏ يُغْرِقُنَا نِظَامُ أَشْيَاءِ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ بِٱلْأَفْكَارِ ٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ،‏ ٱلْفَلْسَفَاتِ ٱلْعَالَمِيَّةِ ،‏ وَرُوحِ ٱلْمَادِّيَّةِ .‏ ‏
