English Standard Version

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

Psalm 73:25

Paul writes:

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Romans 8:18

Psalm 73 (English Standard Version)

22 I was brutish and ignorant;
I was like a beast toward you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works.

Romans 8 (English Standard Version)

15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Who is there in heaven for me except you? And I want nothing on earth except you.

Psalm 73:25

Paul wrote:

I'm convinced that what we suffer in the present is nothing compared to the future glory that will be revealed to us.

Romans 8:18

Psalm 73 (Free Bible Version)

22 I was stupid and ignorant. I was like a brute beast to you.
23 Yet I'm always with you; you hold me by the hand.
24 You tell me what to do; and ultimately you will welcome me in glory.
25 Who is there in heaven for me except you? And I want nothing on earth except you.
26 My body and my mind may fail, but God is the foundation of my life. He is mine forever!
27 Those people who are far from God will die. You destroy all those unfaithful to you.
28 But I love to stay close to God! I have chosen the Lord God to protect me. I will share all that you have done.

Romans 8 (Free Bible Version)

15 You were not given a spirit to enslave and terrify you once more. No, what you received was the spirit that makes you children in God's family. Now we can shout out, “God is our Father!”
16 The Spirit himself agrees with us that we're God's children.
17 If we're his children, then we're his heirs. We are heirs of God, and heirs together with Christ. But if we want to share in his glory we must share in his sufferings.
18 Yet I'm convinced that what we suffer in the present is nothing compared to the future glory that will be revealed to us.
19 All of creation is patiently waiting, longing for God to reveal his children.
20 For God allowed the purpose of creation to be frustrated.
21 But creation itself waits in hope for the time when it will be set free from the slavery of decay and share the glorious freedom of God's children.
