34Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations.
35Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;
36And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons:
37They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked,
38Wandering in waste places and in mountains and in holes in the rocks; for whom the world was not good enough.
39And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,
40Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.
