Hebrews 11:16-39

16But as it is, they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that is, a 1heavenlyG2032 oneG2032. ThereforeG1352 2GodG2316 isG1870 not 3ashamedG1870 to be 4calledG1941 their GodG2316; for 5He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for them.

17By faithG4102 6AbrahamG11, when he was testedG3985, offeredG4374 upG4374 IsaacG2464, and the one who had 7receivedG324 the promisesG1860 was offeringG4374 upG4374 his 8onlyG3439 son; 18it was he to whomG3739 it was saidG2980, “9Through IsaacG2464 your 10descendantsG4690 shall be namedG2564.” 1911He consideredG3049 that 12GodG2316 is ableG1415 to raiseG1453 people evenG2532 from the deadG3498, fromG3606 whichG3606 he alsoG2532 receivedG2865 him backG2865 13as a 1415typeG3850. 20By faithG4102 16IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 and EsauG2269, evenG2532 regardingG4012 thingsG3195 toG3195 comeG3195. 21By faithG4102 17JacobG2384, as he was dyingG599, blessedG2127 eachG1538 of the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501, and 18worshipedG4352, leaning on the topG206 of his staffG4464. 22By faithG4102 19JosephG2501, when he was dyingG5053, madeG3421 mentionG3421 of the exodusG1841 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, and gaveG1781 ordersG1781 concerningG4012 his bonesG3747.

23By faithG4102 20MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hiddenG2928 for threeG5150 monthsG5150 by his parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG3708 he was a beautifulG791 childG3813; and they wereG5399 not afraidG5399 of the 21king’sG935 edictG1297. 24By faithG4102 MosesG3475, 22when he had grownG3173G1096 up, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364, 25choosingG138 ratherG3123 to 23endureG4778 ill-treatmentG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316 thanG2228 to enjoyG619 the temporaryG4340 pleasuresG619 of sinG266, 2624consideringG2233 the 25reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3173 richesG4149 than the treasuresG2344 of EgyptG125; for he was lookingG578 to the 26rewardG3405. 27By faithG4102 he 27leftG2641 EgyptG125, not 28fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935; for he perseveredG2594, asG5613 thoughG5613 29seeingG3708 Him who is unseenG517. 28By faithG4102 he 3031keptG4160 the PassoverG3957 and the sprinklingG4378 of the bloodG129, soG2443 thatG2443 32the destroyerG3639 of the firstbornG4416 would not touchG2345 them. 29By faithG4102 they 33passedG1224 throughG1224 the RedG2063 SeaG2281 as throughG1223 dryG3584 landG1093; and the EgyptiansG124, when they attemptedG3984G2983 it, were 34drownedG2666.

30By faithG4102 35the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fellG4098 downG4098 3637after the Israelites had marchedG2944 aroundG2944 them for sevenG2033 daysG2250. 31By faithG4102 the prostituteG4204 38RahabG4460 did not perishG4881 alongG4881 with thoseG3588 who were disobedientG544, after she had welcomedG1209 the spiesG2685 39in peaceG1515.

32And whatG5101 moreG2089 shall I sayG3004? For timeG5550 will failG1952 me if I tellG1334 of 40GideonG1066, 41BarakG913, 42SamsonG4546, 43JephthahG2422, of 44DavidG1160 and 45SamuelG4545 and the prophetsG4396, 33whoG3739 by faithG4102 46conqueredG2610 kingdomsG932, 47performedG2038 acts of righteousnessG1343, 48obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, 49shutG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023, 3450quenchedG4570 the powerG1411 of fireG4442, 51escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, from weaknessG769 were madeG1412 strongG1412, 52becameG1096 mightyG2478 in warG4171, 53putG2827 foreignG245 armiesG3925 toG2827 flightG2827. 3554WomenG1135 receivedG2983 back their deadG3498 by resurrectionG386; and othersG243 were torturedG5178, not acceptingG4327 their 55releaseG629, soG2443 thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386; 36and othersG2087 56experiencedG2983G3984 mockingG1701 and floggingG3148, and furtherG2089, 57chainsG1199 and imprisonmentG5438. 37They were 58stonedG3034, they were sawnG4249 inG4249 twoG4249, 59they were temptedG3985, they were 60putG599 toG599 deathG599G1722G5408 with the swordG3162; they wentG4022 aboutG4022 61in sheepskinsG3374, in goatskinsG122G1192, beingG5302 destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, 62tormentedG2558 38(people of whomG3739 the worldG2889 was not worthyG514), 63wanderingG4105 in desertsG2047, on mountainsG3735, and sheltering in cavesG4693 and holesG3692 64in the groundG1093.

39And allG3956 theseG3778, having 65gainedG3140 approvalG3140 throughG1223 their faithG4102, 66did not receiveG2865 67whatG1860 was promisedG1860,
