Hebrews 11:13-16

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹³ In accordance with faith, these^[a] all died not having received the promises, but having seen them from a distance, and having greeted them, and having confessed that they are strangers and pilgrims^[b] on the earth. ¹⁴ For the ones saying such things are making-clear that they are seeking-for a homeland. ¹⁵ And if they had been remembering that homeland from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return— ¹⁶ but as-it-is, they are aspiring-to a better homeland; that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed-of them, to be called their God. For He prepared a city for them.
