Sorrow Chosen Rather than Sin
Scripture
KJV
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
ESV
By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.
Hebrews 11:24-25
Poem
It is not for me to be seeking my bliss,
And building my hopes in a region like this.
I look for a city which hands have not piled;
I pant for a country by sin undefiled.
