Hebrews 11:11-19

Anderson(i) 11 By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable. 13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. 14 For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up, 18 of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called: 19 for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner.
