Hebrews 11:13-16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar. They confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar. They confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ Those who say such things declare that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they came, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Because of this, God is not ashamed to be called their God. He has prepared a city for them!
