Hebrews 11:12 in Context — Hebrews 11
10 Pois ele esperava a cidade que tem fundamentos firmes, da qual o arquiteto e construtor é Deus.
11 Pela fé, também, a própria Sara recebeu a capacidade de conceber descendência, e já na idade avançada ela deu à luz, pois considerou fiel aquele que havia prometido.
12 Assim, de um que estava à beira da morte, nasceu [uma descendência] numerosa como as estrelas do céu, e incontável como a areia na praia do mar.
13 [Permanecendo] na fé, todos esses morreram sem receberem as promessas. Mas as viram de longe, creram, e felicitaram-se nelas, declarando que eram estrangeiros e peregrinos na terra.
14 Pois os que dizem tais coisas mostram claramente que estão buscando a [sua] própria pátria.
