Hebrews 11:23–40
23 By faith gMoses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s hcommand.
24 By faith iMoses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the 7passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming jthe 8reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures 9in Egypt; for he looked to the kreward.
27 By faith lhe forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith mhe kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith nthey passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
30 By faith othe walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith pthe harlot Rahab did not perish with those who 1did not believe, when qshe had received the spies with peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of rGideon and sBarak and tSamson and uJephthah, also of vDavid and wSamuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, xstopped the mouths of lions, 34 yquenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 zWomen received their dead raised to life again.
Others were atortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. 36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and bof chains and imprisonment. 37 cThey were stoned, they were sawn in two, 2were tempted, were slain with the sword. dThey wandered about ein sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, fin dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, ghaving obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be hmade perfect apart from us.
