Hebrews 11:13-16

13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.1 14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came, they might have had opportunity to return. 16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
