Hebrews 11:25-27
Amplified Bible
25 because he preferred to endure the hardship of the people of God rather than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of the [a]Christ [that is, the rebuke he would suffer for his faithful obedience to God] to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt; for he looked ahead to the reward [promised by God]. 27 By faith he left Egypt, being unafraid of the wrath of the king; for he endured [steadfastly], as seeing Him who is unseen.(A)

- Hebrews 11:26 The author is probably suggesting two things here: 1) Moses’ reproach was like what was endured by Jesus in His suffering and death, and 2) Moses’ reproach was for the sake of Christ. Whether typology is involved here is debated.
Hebrews 11:25-27
New International Version
25 He chose to be mistreated(A) along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace(B) for the sake of Christ(C) as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.(D) 27 By faith he left Egypt,(E) not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.
