Women received their dead by resurrection.† Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Hebrews 11:35 in context
Hebrews 11:32–38
32
What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—
33
who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34
quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
35
Selected verse
Women received their dead by resurrection.† Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
36
Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
37
They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
38
of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
