Hebrews 11:8-22
8By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564, obeyedG5219 to goG1831 out unto a placeG5117 which he was to receiveG2983 for an inheritanceG2817; and he wentG1831 out, not knowingG1987 whither he wentG1831. 9By faithG4102 he became a sojourner in the landG1093 of promiseG1860, as in a landG1093 not his own, dwellingG2730 in tents, with IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, the heirs with him of the sameG846 promiseG1860: 10for he looked for the cityG4172 which hath the foundationsG2310, whose builder and maker is GodG2316. 11By faithG4102 evenG2532 SarahG4564 herself receivedG2983 powerG1411 to conceive seedG4690 when she was past age, since she counted him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861: 12wherefore alsoG2532 there sprang of oneG1520, and him as good as dead, so many as the starsG798 of heavenG3772 in multitudeG4128, and as the sandG285, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.
13These all diedG599 in faithG4102, not having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, but having seenG3708 them and greetedG782 them from afar, and having confessedG3670 that they wereG1510 strangersG3581 and pilgrims on the earthG1093. 14For they that sayG3004 suchG5108 thingsG5108 makeG1718 it manifest that they are seekingG1934 after a country of their own. 15And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But nowG1161 they desire a better country, that isG1510, a heavenlyG2032: wherefore GodG2316 isG1510 not ashamedG1870 of them, to beG1510 calledG1941 their GodG2316; for he hath preparedG2090 for them a cityG4172.
17By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, being tried, offeredG4374 up IsaacG2464: yea, he that had gladly received the promisesG1860 was offeringG4374 up his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 son; 18even he to whom it was saidG2980, In IsaacG2464 shall thy seedG4690 be calledG2564: 19accounting that GodG2316 is ableG1415 to raiseG1453 up, evenG2532 from the deadG3498; from whence he did alsoG2532 in a figure receiveG2865 him backG2865. 20By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 and EsauG2269, evenG2532 concerningG4012 thingsG3195 to comeG3195. 21By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was dyingG599, blessedG2127 each of the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staffG4464. 22By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of IsraelG2474; and gaveG1781 commandment concerningG4012 his bones.
