known as Pharaoh's daughter's son,
011:025 having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people
of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin;
011:026 because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet
with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches
than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on
the coming reward.

for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.
011:028 Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling
with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not

tried to do the same, were swallowed up.

being surrounded for seven days.
