Hebrews 11:32-40
New King James Version (NKJV)

32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson
and Jephthah, also ofDavid and Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith
subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of
lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness
were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the
aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again.

Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better
resurrection. 36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and
imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain
with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted,
tormented— 38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and
mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the
promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made
perfect apart from us.
