In Hebrews 11 the writer talks about all the individuals in the Bible who exercised great faith.
and then he said this....
Hebrews 11
35But others were tortured,
refusing to turn from God in order to be set free.
They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection.
36 Some were jeered at,
and their backs were cut open with whips.
Others were chained in prisons.
37 Some died by stoning,
some were sawed in half,
and others were killed with the sword.
Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats,
destitute
and oppressed
and mistreated.
38 They were too good for this world,
wandering over deserts and mountains,
hiding in caves and holes in the ground.
39 All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith,
yet none of them received all that God had promised.
