Hebrews 11:23-38

23By faithG4102 1MosesG3475, 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 2king’sG935 edictG1297. 24By faithG4102 MosesG3475, 3when he had grownG3173G1096 up, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364, 25choosingG138 ratherG3123 to 4endureG4778 ill-treatmentG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316 thanG2228 to enjoyG619 the temporaryG4340 pleasuresG619 of sinG266, 265consideringG2233 the 6reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3173 richesG4149 than the treasuresG2344 of EgyptG125; for he was lookingG578 to the 7rewardG3405. 27By faithG4102 he 8leftG2641 EgyptG125, not 9fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935; for he perseveredG2594, asG5613 thoughG5613 10seeingG3708 Him who is unseenG517. 28By faithG4102 he 1112keptG4160 the PassoverG3957 and the sprinklingG4378 of the bloodG129, soG2443 thatG2443 13the destroyerG3639 of the firstbornG4416 would not touchG2345 them. 29By faithG4102 they 14passedG1224 throughG1224 the RedG2063 SeaG2281 as throughG1223 dryG3584 landG1093; and the EgyptiansG124, when they attemptedG3984G2983 it, were 15drownedG2666.

30By faithG4102 16the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fellG4098 downG4098 1718after the Israelites had marchedG2944 aroundG2944 them for sevenG2033 daysG2250. 31By faithG4102 the prostituteG4204 19RahabG4460 did not perishG4881 alongG4881 with thoseG3588 who were disobedientG544, after she had welcomedG1209 the spiesG2685 20in peaceG1515.

32And whatG5101 moreG2089 shall I sayG3004? For timeG5550 will failG1952 me if I tellG1334 of 21GideonG1066, 22BarakG913, 23SamsonG4546, 24JephthahG2422, of 25DavidG1160 and 26SamuelG4545 and the prophetsG4396, 33whoG3739 by faithG4102 27conqueredG2610 kingdomsG932, 28performedG2038 acts of righteousnessG1343, 29obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, 30shutG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023, 3431quenchedG4570 the powerG1411 of fireG4442, 32escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, from weaknessG769 were madeG1412 strongG1412, 33becameG1096 mightyG2478 in warG4171, 34putG2827 foreignG245 armiesG3925 toG2827 flightG2827. 3535WomenG1135 receivedG2983 back their deadG3498 by resurrectionG386; and othersG243 were torturedG5178, not acceptingG4327 their 36releaseG629, soG2443 thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386; 36and othersG2087 37experiencedG2983G3984 mockingG1701 and floggingG3148, and furtherG2089, 38chainsG1199 and imprisonmentG5438. 37They were 39stonedG3034, they were sawnG4249 inG4249 twoG4249, 40they were temptedG3985, they were 41putG599 toG599 deathG599G1722G5408 with the swordG3162; they wentG4022 aboutG4022 42in sheepskinsG3374, in goatskinsG122G1192, beingG5302 destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, 43tormentedG2558 38(people of whomG3739 the worldG2889 was not worthyG514), 44wanderingG4105 in desertsG2047, on mountainsG3735, and sheltering in cavesG4693 and holesG3692 45in the groundG1093.
