- Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
- He that hath no rule over his own spirit
is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. - For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
- He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. - The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit. - Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it:
except the Lord keep the city,
the watchman waketh but in vain. - And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
- But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah.
