For he that draws near to God θεῷ theō G2316 must believe πιστεῦσαι pisteusai G4100 that he is G1510 , and [ that ] he is G1510 a rewarder of them who seek him out . 7 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 , Noah Νῶε Nōe G3575 , oracularly warned G5537 concerning περὶ peri G4012 things G3739 not yet seen G991 , moved with fear, prepared G2680 an ark κιβωτὸν kibōton G2787 for the saving of his house G3624 ; by which he condemned κατέκρινεν katekrinen G2632 the world κόσμον kosmon G2889 , and became G1096 heir κληρονόμος.¶ klēronomos G2818 of the righteousness δικαιοσύνης dikaiosunēs G1343 which [ is ] according κατὰ kata G2596 to faith πίστιν pistin G4102 . 8 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 , being called καλούμενος kaloumenos G2564 , obeyed ὑπήκουσεν hupēkousen G5219 to go G1831 out into the place τόπον topon G5117 which he was to receive λαμβάνειν lambanein G2983 for an inheritance κληρονομίαν klēronomian G2817 , and went G1831 out , not knowing ἐπιστάμενος epistamenos G1987 where ποῦ pou G4226 he was going . 9 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 he sojourned as a stranger G245 in the land γῆν gēn G1093 of promise ἐπαγγελίας epangelias G1860 as a foreign country , having dwelt in tents with Isaac Ἰσαὰκ Isaak G2464 and Jacob Ἰακὼβ Iakōb G2384 , the heirs with [ him ] of the same αὐτῆς· autēs G846 promise ἐπαγγελίας epangelias G1860 ; 10 for he waited for the city πόλιν polin G4172 which has foundations θεμελίους themelious G2310 , of which God θεός.¶ theos G2316 is [ the ] artificer and constructor. 11 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 also G2532 Sarah Σάρρα Sarra G4564 herself received G2983 strength for [ the ] conception of seed σπέρματος spermatos G4690 , and [ that ] beyond a seasonable age ; since she counted him faithful πιστὸν piston G4103 who promised G1861 . 12 Wherefore also G2532 there have been born G1080 of one ἑνὸς henos G1520 , and that of one G1520 become dead , even G2532 as the stars ἄστρα astra G798 of heaven οὐρανοῦ ouranou G3772 in multitude πλήθει plēthei G4128 , and as the countless sand ἄμμος ammos G285 which [ is ] by the sea θαλάσσης thalassēs G2281 shore. 14 For they who say λέγοντες legontes G3004 such τοιαῦτα toiauta G5108 things G5108 shew clearly that they seek ἐπιζητοῦσιν. epizētousin G1934 [ their ] country . 15 And if they had called to mind that from whence they went out , they had had opportunity καιρὸν kairon G2540 to have returned; 17 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 , [ when ] tried , offered προσενήνοχεν prosenēnochen G4374 up Isaac Ἰσαὰκ Isaak G2464 , and he who had received to himself the promises G1860 offered προσέφερεν prosepheren G4374 up his only μονογενῆ monogenē G3439 begotten G3439 [son], 19 counting that God θεός, theos G2316 [ was ] able δυνατὸς dunatos G1415 to raise ἐγείρειν egeirein G1453 [ him ] even καὶ kai G2532 from among [ the ] dead νεκρῶν nekrōn G3498 , whence also καὶ kai G2532 he received G2865 him in a figure. 22 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 Joseph Ἰωσὴφ Iōsēph G2501 [ when ] dying called to mind the going forth of the sons υἱῶν huiōn G5207 of Israel Ἰσραὴλ Israēl G2474 , and gave G1781 commandment concerning G4012 his bones . 23 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 Moses Μωϋσῆς Mōusēs G3475 , being born G1080 , was hid G2928 three months by his parents , because they saw G3708 the child παιδίον paidion G3813 beautiful ἀστεῖον asteion G791 ; and they did not fear ἐφοβήθησαν ephobēthēsan G5399 the injunction of the king βασιλέως.¶ basileōs G935 . 25 choosing rather μᾶλλον mallon G3123 to suffer affliction along with the people λαῷ laō G2992 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 than to have [ the ] temporary πρόσκαιρον proskairon G4340 pleasure of sin ἁμαρτίας hamartias G266 ; 26 esteeming the reproach ὀνειδισμὸν oneidismon G3680 of the Christ Χριστοῦ· Christou G5547 greater G3173 riches G4149 than the treasures G2344 of Egypt Αἰγύπτου Aiguptou G125 , for he had respect to the recompense. 27 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 he left G2641 Egypt Αἴγυπτον Aigupton G125 , not fearing φοβηθεὶς phobētheis G5399 the wrath G2372 of the king βασιλέως· basileōs G935 ; for he persevered, as seeing ὁρῶν horōn G3708 him who is invisible ἀόρατον aoraton G517 . 28 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 he celebrated the passover πάσχα pascha G3957 and the sprinkling of the blood αἵματος, aimatos G129 , that the destroyer of the firstborn πρωτότοκα prōtotoka G4416 might not touch θίγῃ thigē G2345 them . 29 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 they passed through the Red ἐρυθρὰν eruthran G2063 sea θάλασσαν thalassan G2281 as through dry ξηρᾶς xēras G3584 land γῆς, gēs G1093 ; of which the Egyptians Αἰγύπτιοι Aiguptioi G124 having made trial were swallowed κατεπόθησαν.¶ katepothēsan G2666 up . 31 By faith Πίστει Pistei G4102 Rahab Ῥαὰβ Rhaab G4460 the harlot did not perish along with the unbelieving, having received G1209 the spies in peace εἰρήνης.¶ eirēnēs G1515 . 32 And what more ἔτι eti G2089 do I say λέγω; legō G3004 ? For the time χρόνος chronos G5550 would fail me telling G3004 of Gideon , and Barak , and Samson , and Jephthah , and David Δαυίδ Dauid G1138 and Samuel Σαμουὴλ Samouēl G4545 , and of the prophets προφητῶν· prophētōn G4396 : 33 who by faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 overcame kingdoms βασιλείας, basileias G932 , wrought righteousness G1343 , obtained ἐπέτυχον epetuchon G2013 promises G1860 , stopped lions' mouths στόματα stomata G4750 , 34 quenched ἔσβεσαν esbesan G4570 [ the ] power δύναμιν dunamin G1411 of fire πυρός, puros G4442 , escaped [ the ] edge of the sword μαχαίρης, machairēs G3162 , became G1096 strong G2478 out of weakness ἀσθενείας, astheneias G769 , became G1096 mighty ἰσχυροὶ ischuroi G2478 in war πολέμῳ, polemō G4171 , made [ the ] armies of strangers G245 give way . 35 Women γυναῖκες gunaikes G1135 received G2983 their dead νεκροὺς nekrous G3498 again by resurrection ἀναστάσεως anastaseōs G386 ; and others ἄλλοι alloi G243 were tortured , not having accepted προσδεξάμενοι prosdexamenoi G4327 deliverance, that they might get a better resurrection ἀναστάσεως anastaseōs G386 ; 36 and others ἕτεροι heteroi G2087 underwent trial of mockings and scourgings , yea, and of bonds and imprisonment . 37 They were stoned G3034 , were sawn asunder, were tempted G3985 , died G599 by the death of the sword μαχαίρης machairēs G3162 ; they went about in sheepskins , in goatskins, destitute , afflicted , evil treated, 38 ( of whom the world κόσμος· kosmos G2889 was G1510 not worthy ἄξιος axios G514 ,) wandering in deserts and mountains ὄρεσιν oresin G3735 , and [ in ] dens and caverns of the earth γῆς.¶ gēs G1093 . 39 And these all , having obtained witness G3140 through faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 , did not receive ἐκομίσαντο ekomisanto G2865 the promise ἐπαγγελίαν epangelian G1860 , 40 God θεοῦ theou G2316 having foreseen some better thing for us , that they should not be made G5048 perfect τελειωθῶσιν.¶ teleiōthōsin G5048 without us . ← Hebrews 10 Hebrews 12 → Commentaries on Hebrews 11 Darby Bible — 1889 — Public Domain
