Hebrews 11:23-38

23By faith 1Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the 2king’s edict. 24By faith Moses, 3when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25choosing rather to 4endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin, 265considering the 6reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the 7reward. 27By faith he 8left Egypt, not 9fearing the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as though 10seeing Him who is unseen. 28By faith he 1112kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that 13the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them. 29By faith they 14passed through the Red Sea as through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were 15drowned.

30By faith 16the walls of Jericho fell down 1718after the Israelites had marched around them for seven days. 31By faith the prostitute 19Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies 20in peace.

32And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of 21Gideon, 22Barak, 23Samson, 24Jephthah, of 25David and 26Samuel and the prophets, 33who by faith 27conquered kingdoms, 28performed acts of righteousness, 29obtained promises, 30shut the mouths of lions, 3431quenched the power of fire, 32escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, 33became mighty in war, 34put foreign armies to flight. 3535Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their 36release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; 36and others 37experienced mocking and flogging, and further, 38chains and imprisonment. 37They were 39stoned, they were sawn in two, 40they were tempted, they were 41put to death with the sword; they went about 42in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, 43tormented 38(people of whom the world was not worthy), 44wandering in deserts, on mountains, and sheltering in caves and holes 45in the ground.
