Whom it befits to imitate Jesus lifting the eyes
To show more clearly whom it already befits to imitate Jesus lifting his eyes upward:
Those among people living in flesh who are worthy and do not wage war according to the flesh.
Greek
Εἰ σαφέστερον παραστῆσαι τίνι ἤδη καθήκει μιμεῖσθαι τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἄραντα τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἄνω.
Τοῖς ἀξίοις τῶν ἐν σαρκὶ ζώντων καὶ μὴ κατὰ σάρκα στρατευομένων.
