Chapter Thirty-Six

The Just Shall Live By Faith-Faith Conquering And Suffering Hebrews 11:32-40: 32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to

tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also,

and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33Who through faith subdued kingdoms,

wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness

were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not

accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36And others

had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and

imprisonment: 37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were

slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being

destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they

wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39And

these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not

be made perfect.
