Hebrews 11:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 By faith— and Sarah herself being barren— he[a] received power for the foundation[b] of a seed[c] even beyond the time of mature-age, since he regarded the One having promised to be faithful. 12 Therefore indeed from one man— and he having become impotent as to these[d] things— were born[e] seed as the stars of heaven in number, and countless as the sand by the shore of the sea. 13 In accordance with faith, these[f] all died not having received the promises, but having seen them from a distance, and having greeted them, and having confessed that they are strangers and pilgrims[g] on the earth.
