And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore indeed they were born of one, and those things of one having died, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sands which are by the sea, which are innumerable. These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those speaking such things declare that they are seeking after a country of their own. If indeed they remember that country from which they came out, they would have had an opportunity to return; but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
