32 And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I recount (A)Gideon, (B)Barak, (C)Samson, (D)Jephthah, as well as (E)David and (F)Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith (G)conquered kingdoms, (H)performed righteousness, (I)obtained promises, (J)shut the mouths of lions, 34 (K)quenched the power of fire, (L)escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong from weakness, (M)became mighty in war, (N)put foreign armies to flight. 35 (O)Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their [a]release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; 36 and others [b]experienced mockings and floggings, yes, also (P)chains and imprisonment. 37 They were (Q)stoned, they were (R)sawn in two, [c]they were tempted, they were (S)put to death with the sword. They went about (T)in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, (U)mistreated 38 (of whom the world was not worthy), (V)wandering in desolate places and mountains and caves and holes [d]in the ground.

Some men were tortured, not accepting release, so that they might gain a better resurrection, 36 and others experienced mockings and scourgings, as well as bonds and imprisonment.(F) 37 They were stoned,[a](G) they were sawed in two, they died by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins,(H) destitute, afflicted, and mistreated. 38 The world was not worthy of them.
