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.

American Standard Version
13 These all died [a]in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own. 15 And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
