Hebrews 11:13-16 These people all continued to have faith until they died, even though they had not obtained all the things God had promised, but had only seen them and welcomed them from a distance. And they had confessed to being strangers and aliens on earth.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ These people [all] continued to have faith until they died, [even though] they had not obtained [all] the things God had promised, but had [only] seen them and welcomed them from a distance. And they had confessed to being strangers and aliens on earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it obvious that they are looking for a country of their own [i.e. heaven]. ¹⁵ And indeed, if they had remembered [with longing] the country they had left, they would have had the opportunity to return to it. ¹⁶ But instead, they longed for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
