Hebrews 11:13-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Heavenly Hope

¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off ^[a]were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. ¹⁵ And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
