11 By faith, also, Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth, when past the time of life; because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 And, therefore, there sprang from one who was dead, in this respect, a race, as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is on the sea-shore, innumerable.
13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises. For, seeing the things promised, afar off, and embracing them, they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims in the land.
14 Now they who speak such things, plainly declare that they earnestly seek a country.
15 For truly, if they had remembered that from which they came out, they might have had an opportunity to return it.
16 But, indeed, they strongly desired a better country; that is, a heavenly. Therefore, God is not ashamed of them-to be called their God; because he has prepared for them a city.
17 By faith, Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten,
18 concerning whom it was said, that "In Isaac shall thy seed be called";
19 reasoning that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence, indeed, he received him in a figure.
