Bible Verses About Prophets: Were mighty through faith

What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;

who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.

Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.

These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
