希伯來 Heb 11:32-39 32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 32我又何必再說呢‧若要一一細說，基甸，巴拉，參孫，耶弗他，大衛，撒母耳，和眾先知的事，時候就不夠了‧33他們因著信，制伏了敵國，行了公義，得了應許，堵了獅子的口‧34滅了烈火的猛勢，脫了刀劍的鋒刃，軟弱變為剛強，爭戰顯出勇敢，打退外邦的全軍‧35有婦人得自己的死人復活，又有人忍受嚴刑，不肯苟且得釋放，﹝釋放原文作贖﹞為要得著更美的復活‧
