Hebrews 11:8-19
The Faith of Abraham and Sarah

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

8:

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

9:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.

10:

11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

11:

12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

12:

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

13:

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

14:

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

15:

16 But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

16:

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son],

17:

18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

18:

19 Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

19:
