Hebrews 11:23-28
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Time of The Exodus
23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw the child was beautiful and did not fear the edict of the king. 24 By faith Moses, having become great[a], refused to be called son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 having chosen rather to be mistreated-with the people of God than to be having a temporary enjoyment of sin, 26 having regarded the reproach of [b] the Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking-away[c] to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the fury of the king. For he persevered[d] as seeing[e] the invisible One. 28 By faith he has performed the Passover[f] and the sprinkling of the blood in order that the one destroying the firstborns might not touch them.

Hebrews 11:23-28
New International Version
23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born,(A) because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.(B)
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.(C) 25 He chose to be mistreated(D) along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace(E) for the sake of Christ(F) as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.(G) 27 By faith he left Egypt,(H) 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(I) of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.(J)
