Hebrews 11:34-36

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁴ Some of them put out fires that were burning very strongly. Some of them got away from people who wanted to kill them with a sword. Other people who were weak became strong. They became powerful to fight wars. They won against foreign armies so that those armies ran away.^[a]

³⁵ Some women who trusted God received their friends and family back from death. God raised those people who had died to become alive again. Other people refused to turn against God so that their enemies would not hurt them. As a result, their enemies killed them. These people agreed to die because they were sure that they would live again with God. They knew that would be better for them.

³⁶ Other people who trusted God received insults. Some of them were hit with whips. Enemies of God tied these people up and they put them in prison.
