Hebrews 11:39

Verse 39 of 40. The 11th of 13 chapters in Hebrews, in The General Letters.

35Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

36Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

37They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—

38of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.

39These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

40God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
