Hebrews 11:13-16

Legacy Standard Bible

^13 (A)All these died in faith, ^(B)without receiving the promises, but ^(C)having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and ^(D)having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ And indeed if they had been remembering that country from which they went out, ^(E)they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now, they aspire to a better country, that is, a ^(F)heavenly one. Therefore ^(G)God is not ^[a]ashamed to be ^(H)called their God, for ^(I)He prepared a city for them.
