Hebrews 11:30-40

New King James Version

By Faith They Overcame

³⁰ By faith ^(A)the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith ^(B)the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who ^[a]did not believe, when ^(C)she had received the spies with peace.

³² And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of ^(D)Gideon and ^(E)Barak and ^(F)Samson and ^(G)Jephthah, also of ^(H)David and ^(I)Samuel and the prophets: ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, ^(J)stopped the mouths of lions, ^34 (K)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 (L)Women received their dead raised to life again.

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

³⁹ And all these, ^(S)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 ^(T)made perfect apart from us.
