35 Women received their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection. 36 And others received the trial of mockings and of scourgings, and even of chains and of imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by slaughter of the sword; they wandered in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, being oppressed, being mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes of the earth. 39 And these all, having been testified to through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having planned something better for us, so that not apart from us, they should be perfected.
