Hebrews 11:7-16

7By faithG4102 1NoahG3575, being 2warnedG5537 by God aboutG4012 3things not yetG3369 seenG991, 45inG2125 reverenceG2125 6preparedG2680 an arkG2787 for the salvationG4991 of his householdG3624, by whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, and becameG1096 an heirG2818 of 7the righteousnessG1343 which is accordingG2596 to faithG4102.

8By faithG4102 8AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564, obeyedG5219 9by goingG1831 outG1831 to a placeG5117 whichG3739 he was to 10receiveG2983 for an inheritanceG2817; and he leftG1831, not knowingG1987 whereG4226 he was goingG2064. 9By faithG4102 he livedG3939 asG3939 aG3939 strangerG3939 in 11the landG1093 of promiseG1860, as in a foreignG245 land, 12livingG2730 in tentsG4633 with IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, 13fellowG4789 heirsG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860; 10for he was lookingG1551 forG1551 14the cityG4172 whichG3739 hasG2192 15foundationsG2310, 16whoseG3739 architectG5079 and builderG1217 is GodG2316. 11By faithG4102 evenG2532 17SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 18abilityG1411 to conceiveG2602G4690, evenG2532 beyondG3844 the properG2540 timeG2540 of lifeG2244, sinceG1893 she consideredG2233 Him 19faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861. 12ThereforeG1352 evenG2532 from oneG1520 manG1520, and 20one who was as good as deadG3499 21at that, there were bornG1096 descendants who were 22justG2531 asG2531 the starsG798 of heavenG3772 in numberG4128, and as the innumerableG382 grains of sandG285 along the seashoreG5491G2281.

1323AllG3956 theseG3778 diedG599 in faithG4102, 24withoutG3361 receivingG2865 the promisesG1860, but 25having seenG3708 and welcomedG782 them from a distanceG4207, and 26having 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 ofG3968 their ownG3968. 15And indeedG3303 ifG1487 they had been 27thinkingG3421 of that country whichG3739 they leftG1544, 28they would have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But as it is, they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that is, a 29heavenlyG2032 oneG2032. ThereforeG1352 30GodG2316 isG1870 not 31ashamedG1870 to be 32calledG1941 their GodG2316; for 33He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for them.
