- By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful; and they did not fear the injunction of the king.
- By faith Moses, when he had become great, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter;

- And what more do I say? For the time would fail me telling of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, and David and Samuel, and of the prophets:
- who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions' mouths,
- quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, became strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, made the armies of strangers give way.
- Women received their dead again by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, that they might get a better resurrection;
- and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment.
- They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated,
- (of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caverns of the earth.
- And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise,
- God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.
