exhibited as an example

Since there's no sin in Heaven, no one is being prideful, but I can imagine it's mighty tempting if you're one of the saints of the faith. In Ezek14, the Lord Himself mentions three by name: Noah, Daniel, & Job. He uses them as an extreme example of righteous men, that even if they -- the best of the best is the implication -- were in Jerusalem, it would still be destroyed.

For all eternity, they are recorded as His choice models of faith done right. No grinning pridefully in Heaven, sure, but man, that's gotta be something.
