Hebrews 11:30-40

New American Standard Bible

³⁰ By faith ^(A)the walls of Jericho fell down ^[a](B)after the Israelites had marched around them for seven days. ³¹ By faith the prostitute ^(C)Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies ^[b]in peace.

³² And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of ^(D)Gideon, ^(E)Barak, ^(F)Samson, ^(G)Jephthah, of ^(H)David and ^(I)Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who by faith ^(J)conquered kingdoms, ^(K)performed acts of righteousness, ^(L)obtained promises, ^(M)shut the mouths of lions, ^34 (N)quenched the power of fire, ^(O)escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, ^(P)became mighty in war, ^(Q)put foreign armies to flight. ^35 (R)Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their ^[c]release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others ^[d]experienced mocking and flogging, and further, ^(S)chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were ^(T)stoned, they were sawn in two, ^[e]they were tempted, they were ^(U)put to death with the sword; they went about ^(V)in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ^(W)tormented ³⁸ (people of whom the world was not worthy), ^(X)wandering in deserts, on mountains, and sheltering in caves and holes ^[f]in the ground.

³⁹ And all these, having ^(Y)gained approval through their faith, ^(Z)did not receive ^[g]what was promised, ⁴⁰ because God had ^[h]provided ^(AA)something better for us, so that ^(AB)apart from us they would not be made perfect.
