Hebrews 10:34

For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.

The student is aware that the KJV makes this place read, "compassion of me in my bonds"; but a fact not often noted is that the KJV rendition is supported by no less an authority than the Codex Sinaiticus, along with other ancient manuscripts. (See introduction.) Westcott noted that this expression is found nowhere else in the New Testament except as a reference by Paul himself to his own imprisonment.[43] This, of course, is another reason why many students are not convinced by scholarly fulminations against the Pauline authorship of Hebrews. The other-worldly emphasis in the thoughts of persecuted Christians shows that they had truly set their affections upon the things in heaven rather than upon the things on earth, "the better possession" being a reference to eternal rewards stored up for them that prevail through Christ. Jesus said, "Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven" (Matthew 5:12).
