Hebrews 11:16 in Context — Hebrews 11
14 Pois os que dizem tais coisas mostram claramente que estão buscando a [sua] própria pátria.
15 Ora, se estivessem pensando naquela de onde saíram, eles tinham oportunidade de voltar.
16 Mas agora desejam uma melhor, isto é, a celestial. Por isso Deus não se envergonha deles, de ser chamado o Deus deles, porque já lhes preparou uma cidade.
17 Pela fé, Abraão, quando foi provado, ofereceu Isaque; aquele que havia recebido as promessas ofereceu o [seu] único filho,
18 do qual foi dito: Em Isaque será chamada a tua descendência.
