Bible Verses About Prophets: Were mighty through faith

And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,

who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,

quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.

Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,

and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;

they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins--being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,

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

and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,

God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
