33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought 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, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. |
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: |
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: |
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, 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 in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. |
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: |
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. |
