24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, (A)refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 (B)choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy (C)the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 (D)He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to (E)the reward. 27 By faith he (F)left Egypt, (G)not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured (H)as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith (I)he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
