Hebrews 11:13-16

JuliaSmith(i) 13 According to faith died all these, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and been persuaded, and having embraced, and assented that they are strangers and newly arrived from a foreign country upon earth. 14 For they saying such things show clearly that they seek a country. 15 And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to have returned. 16 And now they feel an ardent desire for a better, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he prepared for them a city.
