Hebrews 11:13-16
131AllG3956 theseG3778 diedG599 in faithG4102, 2withoutG3361 receivingG2865 the promisesG1860, but 3having seenG3708 them and having welcomedG782 them from a distanceG4207, and 4having confessedG3670 that they were strangersG3581 and exilesG3927 on the earthG1093. 14For thoseG3588 who sayG3004 suchG5108 thingsG5108 makeG1718 it clearG1718 that they are seekingG1934 a countryG3968 of their ownG3968. 15And indeedG3303 ifG1487 they had been 5thinkingG3421 of that country from whichG3739 they wentG1544 out, 6they would have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But as it is, they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that is, a 7heavenlyG2032 oneG2032. ThereforeG1352 8GodG2316 is not 9ashamedG1870 to be 10calledG1941 their GodG2316; for 11He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for them.
