Hebrews 11:9-21

9By faithG4102 he livedG3939 as an alienG3939 in 1the landG1093 of promiseG1860, as in a foreignG245 land, 2dwellingG2730 in tentsG4633 with IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, 3fellowG4789 heirsG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860; 10for he was lookingG1551 for 4the cityG4172 whichG3739 hasG2192 5foundationsG2310, 6whoseG3739 architectG5079 and builderG1217 is GodG2316. 11By faithG4102 evenG2532 7SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 8abilityG1411 to conceiveG2602G4690, evenG2532 beyondG3844 the properG2540 timeG2540 of lifeG2244, sinceG1893 she consideredG2233 Him 9faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861. 12ThereforeG1352 there was bornG1096 evenG2532 of oneG1520 manG1520, and 10him as good as deadG3499 11at that, as many descendants 12as the starsG798 of heavenG3772 in numberG4128, and innumerableG382 as the sandG285 which is by the seashoreG2281.

1313AllG3956 theseG3778 diedG599 in faithG4102, 14withoutG3361 receivingG2865 the promisesG1860, but 15having seenG3708 them and having welcomedG782 them from a distanceG4207, and 16having 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 17thinkingG3421 of that country from whichG3739 they wentG1544 out, 18they would have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But as it is, they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that is, a 19heavenlyG2032 oneG2032. ThereforeG1352 20GodG2316 is not 21ashamedG1870 to be 22calledG1941 their GodG2316; for 23He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for them.

17By faithG4102 24AbrahamG11, when he was testedG3985, offeredG4374 up IsaacG2464, and he who had 25receivedG324 the promisesG1860 was offeringG4374 up his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 son; 18it was he to whomG3739 it was saidG2980, “26In IsaacG2464 your 27descendantsG4690 shall be calledG2564.” 1928He consideredG3049 that 29GodG2316 is ableG1415 to raiseG1453 people evenG2532 from the deadG3498, from whichG3606 he alsoG2532 receivedG2865 him backG2865 30as a 31typeG3850. 20By faithG4102 32IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 and EsauG2269, evenG2532 regardingG4012 thingsG3195 to comeG3195. 21By faithG4102 33JacobG2384, as he was dyingG599, blessedG2127 eachG1538 of the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501, and 34worshipedG4352, leaning on the topG206 of his staffG4464.
