Hebrews 11:33-40
English Standard Version
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, (A)stopped the mouths of lions, 34 (B)quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, (C)became mighty in war, (D)put foreign armies to flight. 35 (E)Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even (F)chains and imprisonment. 37 (G)They were stoned, they were sawn in two,[a] (H)they were killed with the sword. (I)They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—(J)wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, (K)though commended through their faith, (L)did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, (M)that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Hebrews 11:33-40
King James Version
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
