11:15 | And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have had opportunity to return. |

11:25 | Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; |
11:26 | Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the reward. |

11:34 | Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. |
11:35 | Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: |
11:36 | And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: |
11:37 | They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; |
11:38 | (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. |
11:39 | And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: |
11:40 | God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. |
