Hebrews 11:35

Hebrews 11:35

33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, ^astopped the mouths of lions,

34 ^aquenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

35 ^aWomen received their dead raised to life again. Others were ^btortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and ^aof chains and imprisonment.

37 ^aThey were stoned, they were sawn in two,¹ were tempted, were slain with the sword. ^bThey wandered about ^cin sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—

38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, ^ain dens and caves of the earth.

<< Hebrews 11:34

Hebrews 11:36 >>

Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again. Examples are the widow of Zarephath (I Kings 17:17-24) and the Shunammite (II Kings 4:18-37). And others were tortured. This was especially true in the terrible persecutions recorded in the Book of Maccabees. That they might obtain a better resurrection. They preferred to suffer in hope of the resurrection to eternal life.
