Hebrews 11:25

---

← Hebrews 11:24	Hebrews 11:25 (KJV)	Hebrews 11:26 →
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;	Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;	Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Strong's References

• G138 — αἱρέομαι (hairéomai, hahee-reh'-om-ahee): I choose, prefer — probably akin to αἴρω; to take for oneself, i.e. to prefer:--choose. Some of the forms are borrowed from a cognate  ; which is otherwise obsolete.
• G266 — ἁμαρτία (hamartía, ham-ar-tee'-ah): a sin — from ἁμαρτάνω; a sin (properly abstract):--offence, sin(-ful).
• G619 — ἀπόλαυσις (apólausis, ap-ol'-ow-sis): the faculty or experience of enjoyment — from a comparative of ἀπό and (to enjoy); full enjoyment:--enjoy(-ment).
• G2192 — ἔχω (échō, ekh'-o): I have, hold, possess — a primary verb; to hold (used in very various applications, literally or figuratively, direct or remote; such as possession; ability, contiuity, relation, or condition):--be (able, X hold, possessed with), accompany, + begin to amend, can(+ -not), X conceive, count, diseased, do + eat, + enjoy, + fear, following, have, hold, keep, + lack, + go to law, lie, + must needs, + of necessity, + need, next, + recover, + reign, + rest, + return, X sick, take for, + tremble, + uncircumcised, use.

• G2992 — λαός (laós, lah-os'): a people, the crowd — apparently a primary word; a people (in general; thus differing from δῆμος, which denotes one's own populace):--people.
• G3123 — μᾶλλον (mâllon, mal'-lon): more, rather — neuter of the comparative of the same as μάλιστα; (adverbially) more (in a greater degree)) or rather:--+ better, X far, (the) more (and more), (so) much (the more), rather.
• G4340 — πρόσκαιρος (próskairos, pros'-kahee-ros): temporary — from πρός and καιρός; for the occasion only, i.e. temporary:--dur-(eth) for awhile, endure for a time, for a season, temporal.
