From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 39. Nor height. This has been variously understood. Some have regarded it as referring to evil spirits in the air; others, to high and lofty speculations in doctrine; others, to heaven--to all that is in heaven. I regard it here as synonymous with prosperity, honour, elevation in this life. The meaning is, that no possible circumstances in which Christians could be placed, though surrounded with wealth, honour, splendour, and though elevated to rank and office, could alienate them from the love of Christ.
