Hebrews 11:23-38

23By faithG4102 1MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hiddenG2928 for threeG5150 monthsG5150 by his parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG3708 he was a beautifulG791 childG3813; and they were not afraidG5399 of the 2king’sG935 edictG1297. 24By faithG4102 MosesG3475, 3when he had grownG3173G1096 up, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364, 25choosingG138 ratherG3123 to 4endureG4778 ill-treatmentG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316 thanG2228 to enjoyG619 the passingG4340 pleasuresG619 of sinG266, 265consideringG2233 the reproachG3680 of 6ChristG5547 greaterG3173 richesG4149 than the treasuresG2344 of EgyptG125; for he was lookingG578 to the 7rewardG3405. 27By faithG4102 he 8leftG2641 EgyptG125, not 9fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935; for he enduredG2594, as 10seeingG3708 Him who is unseenG517. 28By faithG4102 he 1112keptG4160 the PassoverG3957 and the sprinklingG4378 of the bloodG129, soG2443 that 13he who destroyedG3639 the firstbornG4416 would not touchG2345 them. 29By faithG4102 they 14passedG1224 throughG1224 the RedG2063 SeaG2281 as thoughG5613 they were passing throughG1223 dryG3584 landG1093; and the EgyptiansG124, when they attemptedG3984G2983 it, were 15drownedG2666.

30By faithG4102 16the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fellG4098 downG4098 17after they had been encircledG2944 for sevenG2033 daysG2250. 31By faithG4102 18RahabG4460 the harlotG4204 did not perishG4881 alongG4881 with thoseG3588 who were disobedientG544, after she had welcomedG1209 the spiesG2685 19in peaceG1515.

32And whatG5101 moreG2089 shall I sayG3004? For timeG5550 will failG1952 me if I tellG1334 of 20GideonG1066, 21BarakG913, 22SamsonG4546, 23JephthahG2422, of 24DavidG1160 and 25SamuelG4545 and the prophetsG4396, 33whoG3739 by faithG4102 26conqueredG2610 kingdomsG932, 27performedG2038 acts of righteousnessG1343, 28obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, 29shutG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023, 3430quenchedG4570 the powerG1411 of fireG4442, 31escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, from weaknessG769 were madeG1412 strongG1412, 32becameG1096 mightyG2478 in warG4171, 33putG2827 foreignG245 armiesG3925 to flightG2827. 3534WomenG1135 receivedG2983 back their deadG3498 by resurrectionG386; and othersG243 were torturedG5178, not acceptingG4327 their 35releaseG629, soG2443 that they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386; 36and othersG2087 36experiencedG2983G3984 mockingsG1701 and scourgingsG3148, yesG2089, alsoG1161 37chainsG1199 and imprisonmentG5438. 37They were 38stonedG3034, they were 39sawnG4249 in twoG4249, 40they were temptedG3985, they were 41putG599 to deathG599G1722G5408 with the swordG3162; they wentG4022 aboutG4022 42in sheepskinsG3374, in goatskinsG122G1192, being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, 43ill-treatedG2558 38(men of whomG3739 the worldG2889 was not worthyG514), 44wanderingG4105 in desertsG2047 and mountainsG3735 and cavesG4693 and holesG3692 45in the groundG1093.
