Hebrews 11:23-38

23By faith 1Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the 2king’s edict. 24By faith Moses, 3when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25choosing rather to 4endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 265considering the reproach of 6Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the 7reward. 27By faith he 8left Egypt, not 9fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as 10seeing Him who is unseen. 28By faith he 1112kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that 13he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. 29By faith they 14passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were 15drowned.

30By faith 16the walls of Jericho fell down 17after they had been encircled for seven days. 31By faith 18Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies 19in peace.

32And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of 20Gideon, 21Barak, 22Samson, 23Jephthah, of 24David and 25Samuel and the prophets, 33who by faith 26conquered kingdoms, 27performed acts of righteousness, 28obtained promises, 29shut the mouths of lions, 3430quenched the power of fire, 31escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, 32became mighty in war, 33put foreign armies to flight. 3534Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their 35release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; 36and others 36experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also 37chains and imprisonment. 37They were 38stoned, they were 39sawn in two, 40they were tempted, they were 41put to death with the sword; they went about 42in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, 43ill-treated 38(men of whom the world was not worthy), 44wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes 45in the ground.
