Hebrews 11:13-16 These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them from afar, and being persuaded, and having embraced and confessed that they are aliens and tenants.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them from afar, and being persuaded, and having embraced and confessed that they are aliens and tenants. ¹⁴ For those saying such things make clear that they seek a fatherland. ¹⁵ And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to return. ¹⁶ But now they stretch forth to a better, that is, a heavenly land . Therefore, God is not ashamed of them, for Him to be called their God; for He prepared a city for them.
