Hebrews 11:8-14

« Heb 10Heb 11Heb 12 »

8 By faith ^aAbraham, when he was called, obeyed ¹by going out to a place which he was to ^breceive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he sojourned in ^athe land of promise, as in a foreign land, ^bdwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, ^cfellow heirs of the same promise, 10 for he was looking for ^athe city which has ^bfoundations, ^cwhose architect and builder is God. 11 By faith even ^aSarah herself ¹received ²ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she regarded Him ^bfaithful who had promised. 12 Therefore there were born even of one man, and ^ahim as good as dead ¹at that, as many ^bas the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
13 ^aAll these died in faith, ^bwithout receiving the promises, but ^chaving seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and ^dhaving confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
