Hebrews 11:9-16

9By faithG4102 he dweltG3939 inG1519 theG3588 promisedG1860 landG1093 as a strangerG5613 in a foreignG245 country. He livedG2730 inG1722 tentsG4633, as didG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, whoG3588 were heirs with himG4789 of theG3588 sameG846 promiseG1860. 10ForG1063 he was looking forward toG1551 theG3588 cityG4172 withG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 architectG5079 andG2532 builderG1217 is GodG2316.

11By faithG4102 SarahG4564, even thoughG2532 sheG846 was barrenG4723 andG2532 beyondG3844 the properG2540 ageG2244, was enabledG2983G1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 a childG4690, becauseG1893 she consideredG2233 HimG3588 faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861. 12AndG2532 soG1352 fromG575 one manG1520, andG2532 heG3778 as good as deadG3499, came descendantsG1080 asG2531 numerousG4128 as theG3588 starsG798 in theG3588 skyG3772 andG2532 as countlessG382 asG5613 theG3588 sandG285 onG3844 theG3588 seashoreG5491G3588G2281.

13AllG3956 theseG3778 people diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, withoutG3361 having receivedG2983 the thingsG3588 they were promisedG1860. HoweverG235, they sawG3708 them andG2532 welcomedG782 themG846 from afarG4207. AndG2532 they acknowledgedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1510 strangersG3581 andG2532 exilesG3927 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093.

14NowG1063 those whoG3588 sayG3004 such thingsG5108 showG1718 thatG3754 they are seekingG1934 a country of their ownG3968. 15IfG1487 they had been thinking ofG3421 the country they had leftG1545, they would have hadG302G2192 opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16InsteadG1161G3568, they were longing forG3713 a betterG2909 country, a heavenlyG2032 one. ThereforeG1352 GodG2316 is not ashamedG3756G1870 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316, forG1063 He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for themG846.
