Hebrews 11:32-38
32 And what more shall I say?

Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even l chains and imprisonment. 37 m They were stoned, they were sawn in two ▼

Some manuscripts add they were tempted
o they were killed with the sword. p They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy— q wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
