Hebrews 11:33–40

³³who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions, ³⁴quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens. ³⁵Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive, ³⁶and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins—being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, ³⁸of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth; ³⁹and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
