23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
25 He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
26 He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
