Hebrews 11:33-40

33who by faith 1conquered kingdoms, 2performed acts of righteousness, 3obtained promises, 4shut the mouths of lions, 345quenched the power of fire, 6escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, 7became mighty in war, 8put foreign armies to flight. 359Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their 10release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; 36and others 11experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also 12chains and imprisonment. 37They were 13stoned, they were 14sawn in two, 15they were tempted, they were 16put to death with the sword; they went about 17in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, 18ill-treated 38(men of whom the world was not worthy), 19wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes 20in the ground.

39And all these, having 2122gained approval through their faith, 23did not receive 24what was promised, 40because God had 25provided 26something better for us, so that 27apart from us they would not be made perfect.
