Hebrews 11:33-35

New Century Version

³³ Through their faith they defeated kingdoms. They did what was right, received God’s promises, and shut the mouths of lions. ³⁴ They stopped great fires and were saved from being killed with swords. They were weak, and yet were made strong. They were powerful in battle and defeated other armies. ³⁵ Women received their dead relatives raised back to life. Others were tortured and refused to accept their freedom so they could be raised from the dead to a better life.
