14For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.
15And if indeed they had been mindful of that [country] from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
16But now they desire a better [country], that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
17By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten [son];
18even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19accounting that God [is] able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back.
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
