By faith he went to live in (A)the land of promise, as in a foreign land, (B)living in tents (C)with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to (D)the city that has (E)foundations, (F)whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith (G)Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered (H)him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and (I)him as good as dead, were born descendants (J)as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

13 These all died in faith, (K)not having received the things promised, but (L)having seen them and greeted them from afar, and (M)having acknowledged that they were (N)strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, (O)they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed (P)to be called their God, for (Q)he has prepared for them a city.

By faith he made his home in the promised land(A) like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,(B) as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.(C) 10 For he was looking forward to the city(D) with foundations,(E) whose architect and builder is God.(F) 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,(G) was enabled to bear children(H) because she[a] considered him faithful(I) who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,(J) came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.(K)

13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;(L) they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,(M) admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.(N) 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(O) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(P) Therefore God is not ashamed(Q) to be called their God,(R) for he has prepared a city(S) for them.
