Hebrews 11:35 Context
33Who through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined promises, stopped the mouthes of Lions, 34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakenesse were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35Women receiued their dead raised to life againe: and others were tortured, not accepting deliuerance, that they might obtaine a better resurrection. 36And others had triall of cruell mockings and scourgings, yea moreouer, of bonds and imprisonment. 37They were stoned, they were sawen asunder, were tempted, were slaine with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskinnes, and goat skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented.
