Hebrews 11:32–40

³²And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:

³³Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

³⁴Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners.

³⁵Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.

³⁶And others had trial of mockeries and stripes: moreover also of bands and prisons.

³⁷They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:

³⁸Of whom the world was not worthy: wandering in deserts, in mountains and in dens and in caves of the earth.

³⁹And all these, being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise:

⁴⁰God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.
