Hebrews 11:13-27

Whiston(i) 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And truly if they were mindful of that from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned: 16 But now they desire a better, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called [their] God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17 By faith Abraham when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten: 18 Of whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 Accounting that God was able to raise [him] up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Eau also concerning things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped upon the top of his staff. 22 By faith, Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw [he was] a beautiful child; and they were [[Omit] not.] not afraid of the king's commandment.[By faith Moses, when he was become great, slew the Egyptian; considering the depression of his brethren,] 24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By saith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
