32. And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,
33. who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,
34. quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
35. Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;
36. and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.
