By faith he left Egypt, not fearingc the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible.

JND Translation Notes

+
c
These are aorists, but in English the present participle is joined to the perfect tense as characterizing the action. "He refused ... choosing"; "he refused ... having chosen" would make a different time of it, not the same. In Greek all is referred to the time of speaking.
