Who through Faith
Subdued kingdoms,
Wrought righteousness,
Obtained promises,
Stopped the mouths of lions,
Quenched the power of fire,
Escaped the edge of the sword,
From weakness were made strong,
Waxed mighty in war,
Turned to flight armies of aliens.
Others had trial of mockings and scourgings,
Yea, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment:
They were stoned,
They were sawn asunder,
They were tempted,
They were slain with the sword:
They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins,
Being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated,
Of whom the world was not worthy.
And These All,
Having had witness borne to them
Through their Faith,
Received not the promise,
God having provided
Some better thing concerning us,
That apart from us
They should not be made perfect.
