Hebrews 11:13-19

New King James Version

The Heavenly Hope

¹³ These all died in faith, ^(A)not having received the ^(B)promises, but ^(C)having seen them afar off ^[a]were assured of them, embraced them and ^(D)confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things ^(E)declare plainly that they seek a homeland. ¹⁵ And truly if they had called to mind ^(F)that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed ^(G)to be called their God, for He has ^(H)prepared a city for them.

The Faith of the Patriarchs^(I)

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, ^(J)when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ^18 [b]of whom it was said, ^(K)“In Isaac your seed shall be called,” ¹⁹ concluding that God ^(L)was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
