Hebrews 11:35

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.
