Hebrews 11:9-16

9By faithG4102 he livedG3939 asG3939 aG3939 strangerG3939 in 1the landG1093 of promiseG1860, as in a foreignG245 land, 2livingG2730 in tentsG4633 with IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, 3fellowG4789 heirsG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860; 10for he was lookingG1551 forG1551 4the cityG4172 whichG3739 hasG2192 5foundationsG2310, 6whoseG3739 architectG5079 and builderG1217 is GodG2316. 11By faithG4102 evenG2532 7SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 8abilityG1411 to conceiveG2602G4690, evenG2532 beyondG3844 the properG2540 timeG2540 of lifeG2244, sinceG1893 she consideredG2233 Him 9faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861. 12ThereforeG1352 evenG2532 from oneG1520 manG1520, and 10one who was as good as deadG3499 11at that, there were bornG1096 descendants who were 12justG2531 asG2531 the starsG798 of heavenG3772 in numberG4128, and as the innumerableG382 grains of sandG285 along the seashoreG5491G2281.

1313AllG3956 theseG3778 diedG599 in faithG4102, 14withoutG3361 receivingG2865 the promisesG1860, but 15having seenG3708 and welcomedG782 them from a distanceG4207, and 16having 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 17thinkingG3421 of that country whichG3739 they leftG1544, 18they would have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But as it is, they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that is, a 19heavenlyG2032 oneG2032. ThereforeG1352 20GodG2316 isG1870 not 21ashamedG1870 to be 22calledG1941 their GodG2316; for 23He has preparedG2090 a cityG4172 for them.
