Hebrews 11:12 in Context — Hebrews 11
10 Car il attendait la cité qui a de solides fondements, celle dont Dieu est l’architecte et le constructeur.
11 C’est par la foi que Sara elle-même, malgré son âge avancé, fut rendue capable d’avoir une postérité, parce qu’elle crut à la fidélité de celui qui avait fait la promesse.
12 C’est pourquoi d’un seul homme, déjà usé de corps, naquit une postérité nombreuse comme les étoiles du ciel, comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer et qu’on ne peut compter.
13 C’est dans la foi qu’ils sont tous morts, sans avoir obtenu les choses promises; mais ils les ont vues et saluées de loin, reconnaissant qu’ils étaient étrangers et voyageurs sur la terre.
14 Ceux qui parlent ainsi montrent qu’ils cherchent une patrie.
