Hebrews 11:33-40

33who by faith 1conquered kingdoms, 2performed acts of righteousness, 3obtained promises, 4shut the mouths of lions, 345quenched the power of fire, 6escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, 7became mighty in war, 8put foreign armies to flight. 359Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their 10release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; 36and others 11experienced mocking and flogging, and further, 12chains and imprisonment. 37They were 13stoned, they were sawn in two, 14they were tempted, they were 15put to death with the sword; they went about 16in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, 17tormented 38(people of whom the world was not worthy), 18wandering in deserts, on mountains, and sheltering in caves and holes 19in the ground.

39And all these, having 20gained approval through their faith, 21did not receive 22what was promised, 40because God had 23provided 24something better for us, so that 25apart from us they would not be made perfect.
