Hebrews 11:8-22

8By faithG4102 1AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564, obeyedG5219 2by goingG1831 out to a placeG5117 whichG3739 he was to 3receiveG2983 for an inheritanceG2817; and he wentG1831 out, not knowingG1987 whereG4226 he was goingG2064. 9By faithG4102 he livedG3939 as an alienG3939 in 4the landG1093 of promiseG1860, as in a foreignG245 land, 5dwellingG2730 in tentsG4633 with IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, 6fellowG4789 heirsG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860; 10for he was lookingG1551 for 7the cityG4172 whichG3739 hasG2192 8foundationsG2310, 9whoseG3739 architectG5079 and builderG1217 is GodG2316. 11By faithG4102 evenG2532 10SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 11abilityG1411 to conceiveG2602G4690, evenG2532 beyondG3844 the properG2540 timeG2540 of lifeG2244, sinceG1893 she consideredG2233 Him 12faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861. 12ThereforeG1352 there was bornG1096 evenG2532 of oneG1520 manG1520, and 13him as good as deadG3499 14at that, as many descendants 15as the starsG798 of heavenG3772 in numberG4128, and innumerableG382 as the sandG285 which is by the seashoreG2281.

1316AllG3956 theseG3778 diedG599 in faithG4102, 17withoutG3361 receivingG2865 the promisesG1860, but 18having seenG3708 them and having welcomedG782 them from a distanceG4207, and 19having 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 20thinkingG3421 of that country from whichG3739 they wentG1544 out, 21they would have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But as it is, they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that is, a 22heavenlyG2032 oneG2032. ThereforeG1352 23GodG2316 is not 24ashamedG1870 to be 25calledG1941 their GodG2316; for 26He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for them.

17By faithG4102 27AbrahamG11, when he was testedG3985, offeredG4374 up IsaacG2464, and he who had 28receivedG324 the promisesG1860 was offeringG4374 up his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 son; 18it was he to whomG3739 it was saidG2980, “29In IsaacG2464 your 30descendantsG4690 shall be calledG2564.” 1931He consideredG3049 that 32GodG2316 is ableG1415 to raiseG1453 people evenG2532 from the deadG3498, from whichG3606 he alsoG2532 receivedG2865 him backG2865 33as a 34typeG3850. 20By faithG4102 35IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 and EsauG2269, evenG2532 regardingG4012 thingsG3195 to comeG3195. 21By faithG4102 36JacobG2384, as he was dyingG599, blessedG2127 eachG1538 of the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501, and 37worshipedG4352, leaning on the topG206 of his staffG4464. 22By faithG4102 38JosephG2501, when he was dyingG5053, madeG3421 mentionG3421 of the exodusG1841 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, and gaveG1781 ordersG1781 concerningG4012 his bonesG3747.
