Hebrews 11

1NowG1161 faithG4102 isG1510 assuranceG5287 ofthingsG4229hopedG1679 for, a conviction of thingsG4229 not seenG991. 2For therein the eldersG4245 had witnessG3140 borne to them. 3By faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the worlds have been framed by the word of GodG2316, so that what is seenG991 hath not been made out of things which appearG5316. 4By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a moreG4183 excellent sacrificeG2378 than CainG2535, through which he had witnessG3140 borne to him that he wasG1510 righteousG1342, GodG2316 bearing witnessG3140 in respect of his giftsG1435: and through it he beingG1510 deadG599 yet speaketh. 5By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translated that he should not seeG3708 deathG2288; and he was not foundG2147, because GodG2316 translated him: for he hath had witnessG3140 borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto GodG2316: 6and without faithG4102 it isG1510 impossibleG102 to beG1510 well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to GodG2316 must believeG4100 that he isG1510, and that he isG1510 a rewarder of them that seek after him. 7By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warnedG5537 of God concerningG4012 thingsG3739 not seenG991 as yet, moved with godly fear, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 to the saving of his houseG3624; through which he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, and becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is accordingG2596 to faithG4102. 8By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564, obeyedG5219 to goG1831 out unto a placeG5117 which he was to receiveG2983 for an inheritanceG2817; and he wentG1831 out, not knowingG1987 whither he wentG1831. 9By faithG4102 he became a sojourner in the landG1093 of promiseG1860, as in a landG1093 not his own, dwellingG2730 in tents, with IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384, the heirs with him of the sameG846 promiseG1860: 10for he looked for the cityG4172 which hath the foundationsG2310, whose builder and maker is GodG2316. 11By faithG4102 evenG2532 SarahG4564 herself receivedG2983 powerG1411 to conceive seedG4690 when she was past age, since she counted him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861: 12wherefore alsoG2532 there sprang of oneG1520, and him as good as dead, so many as the starsG798 of heavenG3772 in multitudeG4128, and as the sandG285, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.

13These all diedG599 in faithG4102, not having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, but having seenG3708 them and greetedG782 them from afar, and having confessedG3670 that they wereG1510 strangersG3581 and pilgrims on the earthG1093. 14For they that sayG3004 suchG5108 thingsG5108 makeG1718 it manifest that they are seekingG1934 after a country of their own. 15And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunityG2540 to returnG344. 16But nowG1161 they desire a better country, that isG1510, a heavenlyG2032: wherefore GodG2316 isG1510 not ashamedG1870 of them, to beG1510 calledG1941 their GodG2316; for he hath preparedG2090 for them a cityG4172.

17By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, being tried, offeredG4374 up IsaacG2464: yea, he that had gladly received the promisesG1860 was offeringG4374 up his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 son; 18even he to whom it was saidG2980, In IsaacG2464 shall thy seedG4690 be calledG2564: 19accounting that GodG2316 is ableG1415 to raiseG1453 up, evenG2532 from the deadG3498; from whence he did alsoG2532 in a figure receiveG2865 him backG2865. 20By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 and EsauG2269, evenG2532 concerningG4012 thingsG3195 to comeG3195. 21By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was dyingG599, blessedG2127 each of the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staffG4464. 22By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of IsraelG2474; and gaveG1781 commandment concerningG4012 his bones. 23By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three months by his parents, because they sawG3708 he was a goodly childG3813; and they were not afraidG5399 of the king’sG935 commandment. 24By faithG4102 MosesG3475, whenG1096 he was grown up, refused to be called the sonG5207 of Pharaoh’s daughterG2364; 25choosing ratherG3123 to share ill treatment with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, than to enjoy the pleasures of sinG266 for a season; 26accounting the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3173 richesG4149 than the treasuresG2344 of EgyptG125: for he looked unto the recompense of rewardG3405. 27By faithG4102 he forsook EgyptG125, not fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: for he endured, as seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517. 28By faithG4102 he kept the passoverG3957, and the sprinkling of the bloodG129, that the destroyer of the firstbornG4416 should not touchG2345 them. 29By faithG4102 they passed through the RedG2063 seaG2281 as by dryG3584 landG1093: which the EgyptiansG124 assaying to do were swallowedG2666 up. 30By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fellG4098 downG4098, after they had been compassed about for sevenG2033 daysG2250. 31By faithG4102 RahabG4460 the harlot perished not with them that were disobedientG544, having receivedG1209 the spies with peaceG1515.

32And what shall I moreG2089 sayG3004? for the timeG5550 will fail me if I tellG3004 of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of DavidG1138 and SamuelG4545 and the prophetsG4396: 33who through faithG4102 subdued kingdomsG932, wrought righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stopped the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023, 34quenchedG4570 the powerG1411 of fireG4442, escaped the edge of the swordG3162, from weaknessG769 were made strongG2478, waxed mightyG2478 in warG4171, turned to flight armies of aliens. 35WomenG1135 receivedG2983 their deadG3498 by a resurrectionG386: and othersG243 were tortured, not acceptingG4327 their deliverance; that they might obtainG5177 a better resurrectionG386: 36and othersG2087 had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37they were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunder, they were temptedG3985, they were slain with the swordG3162: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated 38(of whom the worldG2889 wasG1510 not worthyG514), wandering in deserts and mountainsG3735 and caves, and the holes of the earthG1093. 39And these all, having had witnessG3140 borne to them through their faithG4102, receivedG2865 not the promiseG1860, 40GodG2316 having provided some better thing concerningG4012 us, that apartG5565 from us they should not be madeG5048 perfectG5048.
