Bible verse
Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
Hebrews 11:35 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 11.
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient.
32 And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
34 quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
36 Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
