35 Women received their dead by means of resurrection. But others suffered severe punishment, not yet receiving redemption, so that they would find a better resurrection.
36 Truly, others were tested by mocking and lashes, and moreover by chains and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned; they were cut; they were tempted. With the slaughter of the sword, they were killed. They wandered about in sheepskin and in goatskin, in dire need, in anguish afflicted.
38 Of them, the world was not worthy, wandering in solitude on mountains, in the caves and caverns of the earth.
39 And all these, having been proven by the testimony of faith, did not receive the Promise.
40 God's Providence holds something better for us, so that not without us would they be perfected.
