Hebrews 11:25

The Faith of Moses

24By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.25He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.26He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
