24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
