32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and the prophets,
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained what was promised, shut the mouths of lions,
34 extinguished the effectiveness of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong from weakness, became mighty in battle, put to flight enemy battle lines.
35 Women received back their dead by resurrection. But others were tortured, not accepting release, in order that they might gain a better resurrection.
36 And others experienced mocking and flogging, and in addition bonds and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by murder with a sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, impoverished, afflicted, mistreated,
38 of whom the world was not worthy, wandering about on deserts and mountains and in caves and in holes in the ground.
