Hebrews 11:26

Hebrews 11:26

24 By faith ^aMoses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the¹ passing pleasures of sin,

26 esteeming ^athe reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures² in Egypt; for he looked to the ^breward.

27 By faith ^ahe forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

28 By faith ^ahe kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith ^athey passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

By Faith They Overcame

30 By faith ^athe walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hebrews 11:25

Hebrews 11:27 >>

The reproach of Christ - That which he bore for believing in the Messiah to come, and acting accordingly. For he looked off - From all those perishing treasures, and beyond all those temporal hardships Unto the recompence of reward - Not to an inheritance in Canaan; he had no warrant from God to look for this, nor did he ever attain it; but what his believing ancestors looked for, - a future state of happiness in heaven.
