Hebrews 11:32-12:2 And what more should I say? For the time will fail me if I describe the things concerning Gideon, Barak, and both Samson and Jephthah; both David and Samuel, and the prophets:

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³² And what more should I say? For the time will fail me if I describe the things concerning Gideon, Barak, and both Samson and Jephthah; both David and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, sealed the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, fled away from the edge of the sword, were empowered away from weakness, became mighty in war, the encampments of aliens bowed down. ³⁵ Women received back their dead from a resurrection. But others were tortured, having not accepted their redemption; in order that they might obtain a better resurrection, ³⁶ and others received a trial from mocking and scourges, but still more, from bonds and prison: ³⁷ they were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were tempted; they died in murder from the sword; they went around in sheepskins, and in hides; they were lacking, being afflicted, and being mistreated, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in the wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having been testified of through the faith,
did not get the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something better concerning us, in order that they should not be completed separate from us.
¹² ¹ Therefore, since we also have so-great a cloud of witnesses encompassing us, let us run through endurance the contest laying before us, placing away from ourselves every interference, and the easily restricting sin. ² Looking away from things, look toward Jesus, the author and completer of the faith, who endured the cross having despised shame, in exchange-for the joy laying before him, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
