Hebrews 11:26-40
-
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
-
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
-
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
-
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
-
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
-
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
-
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
-
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
-
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
-
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
-
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
-
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
-
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
-
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
-
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
