Hebrews 11:37

Examples Of Faith In Action

³⁶ And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked, ³⁸ Wandering in waste places and in mountains and in holes in the rocks; for whom the world was not good enough.
