They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated - of whom the world was not worthy - wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 11:9-10; 32-40

BRETHREN, by faith Abraham sojourned in the land of promise, as in a
foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the
same promise. For he looked forward to the city which has foundation,
whose builder and maker is God.

And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon,
Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets - who
through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises,
stopped the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of
the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put
foreign armies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection.
Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise
again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and scourging, and
even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in
two, they were tempted, they were killed with the sword; they went
about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated -
of whom the world was not worthy - wandering over deserts and
mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive
what was promised, since God had foreseen something better for us,that
apart from us they should not be made perfect.
