Hebrews 11:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ He chose to ·suffer [be mistreated/oppressed] with God’s people instead of enjoying ·sin for a short time [^Lthe temporary/fleeting pleasures of sin]. ²⁶ He thought it was better to suffer ·for [the disgrace/stigma/ humilation of] ·Christ [or the Messiah/Anointed One] than to have all the treasures of Egypt, because ·he was looking for [or his eyes were fixed on] God’s reward. ²⁷ It was by faith that Moses left Egypt and was not afraid of the king’s anger [Ex. 10:28–29]. Moses ·continued strong [persevered; was resolute] as if he could see the ·God that no one can see [^Lone who is invisible; v. 13].
