Since you call
on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your
time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not
with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed
from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but
with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
live out your time as foreigners here
Hebrews 11:13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.
in reverent fear
Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." (Deuteronomy 4:24)
it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed
Matthew 20:28 "... just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."
from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors
Galatians 4:3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elementary spiritual forces of the world.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
