Hebrews 11:8-17
8By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG3588G5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
9By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG3588G1093 of promiseG3588G1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG3588G4789 of theG3588G1860 sameG3588G846 promiseG3588G1860:
10ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG3588G2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG3588G2316.
11Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 himG1861 faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
12ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG3778 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG3588G798 of the skyG3588G3772 in multitudeG3588G4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 which isG3588 byG3844 theG3588G5491 seaG3588G2281 shoreG3588G5491 innumerableG3588G382.
13TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG3588G1860, butG235 having seenG3708 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1510 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093.
14ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
15AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they might have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
16ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, thatG3778 isG1510, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG3588G2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
17By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG3588G1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
