Hebrews 11:11-19

Wesley(i) 11 By faith Sarah also herself received power to conceive seed, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as it were dead, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand which is on the sea-shore innumerable. 13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced them, and confest that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. 14 For they who speak thus, shew plainly, that they seek their own country. 15 And truly if they had been mindful of that from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to return. 16 But they now desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared a city for them. 17 By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac, and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son: 18 Of whom it had been said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 Accounting that God was able even to raise him from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
