- State, commonwealth, place of citizenship11.71
- The noun names the commonwealth or state to which one belongs by citizenship, used figuratively of the believer's true homeland. Paul's letter to the Philippians contrasts this with earthly-minded enemies of the cross: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).
