Hebrews 11:13-16 The Message (MSG)

Each one of these people of faith died not yet having in hand what was promised, but still believing. How did they do it? They saw it way off in the distance, waved their greeting, and accepted the fact that they were transients in this world. People who live this way make it plain that they are looking for their true home. If they were homesick for the old country, they could have gone back any time they wanted. But they were after a far better country than that—heaven country. You can see why God is so proud of them, and has a City waiting for them.

Hebrews 11:15-16 King James Version (KJV)

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Hebrews 11:15-16 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Hebrews 11:15-16 New Century Version (NCV)

Hebrews 11:15-16 New International Version (NIV)

And if they had been thinking of that country from which they departed [as their true home], they would have had [a continuing] opportunity to return.
