Hebrews 11:25-29
11:25 choosing rather to be ill-treated with the people of God than to enjoy sin’s fleeting pleasure.
11:26 He regarded abuse suffered for Christ 1 to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for his eyes were fixed on 2 the reward.
11:27 By faith he left Egypt without fearing the king’s anger, for he persevered as though he could see the one who is invisible.
11:28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, 3 so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.
11:29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry ground, but when the Egyptians tried it, they were swallowed up.
