Acts 7:5 Cross References - Goodspeed

⁵ He gave him no property in it, not a single foot, but he promised to give it to him and his posterity after him permanently, though he had no children at that time.

⁹ Faith led him to make a temporary home as a stranger in the land he had been promised, and to live there in his tents, with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him. ¹⁰ For he was looking forward to that city with the sure foundations, designed and built by God.

¹³ All these people lived all their lives in faith, and died without receiving what had been promised; they only saw it far ahead and welcomed the sight of it, recognizing that they themselves were only foreigners and strangers here on earth. ¹⁴ For men who recognize that show that they are in search of a country of their own. ¹⁵ And if it had been the country from which they had come to which their thoughts turned back, they would have found an opportunity to return to it. ¹⁶ But, as it is, their aspirations are for a better, a heavenly country! That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city to receive them.
