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.

Hebrews 11:13-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 One by one, all of these died in faith, without having received the things that were promised, but they saw and welcomed them from a distance. They confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 Indeed, people who say things like that make it clear that they are looking for a land of their own. 15 And if they were remembering the land they had come from, they would have had an opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better land—a heavenly one. For that reason, God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he prepared a city for them.
