Living by Faith
16 So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.(A) 17 For our slight, momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure,(B) 18 because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen, for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.(C)

Hebrews 11:24-34
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered abuse suffered for the Christ[a] to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the king’s anger, for he persevered as though[b] he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.[c](A)
The Faith of Other Israelite Heroes
29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned.(B) 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days.(C) 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient,[d] because she had received the spies in peace.(D)
32 And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,(E) 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.(F)

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.(A) 25 He chose to be mistreated(B) along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace(C) for the sake of Christ(D) as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.(E) 27 By faith he left Egypt,(F) not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer(G) of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.(H)
