Luke 17:32

Verse 32. As Lot only escaped destruction by leaving all things, and flying immediately to the mountain, whereas his wife, by shewing an affection for the things she had left, and looking back, perished; so those who, in the time of tribulation, forgetting the reward that awaits them in heaven, look back to the pleasures of this world, which the wicked enjoy, are sure to perish. Saint Ambrose.—Τα οπισω επιλανθανεσθαι, τοις δε εμπροσθεν επεκτεινεσθαι. Philip. 3:13.
