'Perspective' in the Bible
Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.
But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God, who inflicts wrath, [is] not unjust, [is he]? (I am speaking according to a human perspective.)
Brothers, consider your calling: Not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.
Am I saying this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the law also say the same thing?
If according to a human perspective I fought wild beasts at Ephesus, what benefit [is it] to me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
Since many boast in an unspiritual way, I will also boast.
Brothers, I am speaking according to a human perspective. Nevertheless, [when] the covenant of a man has been ratified, no one declares [it] invalid or adds additional provisions [to it].
These people belong to the world. That is why they speak from the world's perspective, and the world listens to them.
