Hebrews 11:23 ~ 11:40
- By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw that the child was lovely, and they did not fear the kings decree.
- By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter,
- Choosing rather to be ill treated with the people of God than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin,
- Considering the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked away to the reward.
- By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he persevered as one seeing the unseen One.
- By faith he instituted the Passover and the pouring out of the blood so that the one destroying the firstborn would not touch them.
- By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, in which the Egyptians, while making the attempt, were swallowed up.
- By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for a period of seven days.
- By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, since she had received the spies with peace.
- And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,
- Who through faith overcame kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
- Quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong in weakness, became mighty in war, routed the armies of foreigners.
- Women received their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured to death, not accepting deliverance, in order that they might obtain a better resurrection.
- And still others underwent the trial of mockings and scourgings, even, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment.
- They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they died by the murder of the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, ill treated
- (Of whom the world was not worthy), wandering over deserts and mountains and in caves and holes of the earth.
- And these all, having obtained a good testimony through their faith, did not obtain the promise,
- Because God has provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.
