of whom the world was not worthy

Tortured, not accepting

Heb 11:3940

We Complete Them
All these, having obtained a

deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

Trial of mockings and scourgings, of

chains and imprisonments

Stoned, sawn in two, tempted, slain

good testimony through faith

Did not receive the promise God having provided

with the sword

Wandered about in sheepskins and

goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented . . .

Wandered in deserts and mountains,

something better for us made perfect apart from us

That they should not be

in dens and caves of the earth.
