Hebrews 11:13-14 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them… The friends of Archbishop Whately said, with unbecoming praise, when they visited him as he lay on his death-bed: "You are dying as you lived — great to the last." He replied, "I am dying as I lived — in the faith of Jesus." At another time it was said: "The great fortitude of your character supports you." "No," was his reply, "it is not my fortitude that supports me, but my faith in Christ." Parallel Verses KJV: These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. |
