Hebrews:11:12-16

Seeker Overlay ON

* Therefore sprang there even of one , and him as good as dead , so many as the stars of the sky in multitude , and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . * These all died in faith , not having received the promises , but having seen them afar off , and were persuaded of them , and embraced them , and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth . * For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country . * And truly , if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out , they might have had opportunity to have returned . * But now they desire a better country , that is , an heavenly : wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God : for he hath prepared for them a city .
