and sojourners on the earth. (14)For they that say such things declare plainly, that they are seeking a country. (15)And if indeed, they had in mind that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return. (16)But now[11:16] they desire a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city. (17)By faith Abraham, when tried, has offered up Isaac; and he who had accepted the promises offered up his only begotten, (18)of whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called; (19)accounting that God is able even to raise from the dead; whence he also received him back in a figure. (20)By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come. (21)By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and he worshiped, [leaning] on the top of his staff. (22)By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. (23)By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair; and they feared not the king's commandment. (24)By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called son of a daughter of Pharaoh; (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 looked for the reward. (27)By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. (28)Through faith he has kept the passover, and the affusion of the blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. (29)By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land; which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. (30)By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after they had been encompassed during seven days. (31)By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who believed not[11:31], after having received the spies with peace. (32)And why say I more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak and Samson and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets; (33)who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, (34)quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, turned to flight the armies of the aliens
