1NowG1161 faithG4102 isG1510 theG1161 assuranceG5287 ofG4102 thingsG4229 hopedG1679 forG1161, theG1161 proving ofG4102 thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. 2ForG1063 therein theG3588 eldersG4245 had witnessG3140 borne toG1722 themG1722. 3ByG1537 faithG4102 weG3588 understandG3539 thatG1096 theG3588 worldsG165 have beenG1096 framed byG1537 theG3588 wordG4487 ofG1537 GodG2316, soG1519 thatG1096 whatG3588 is seenG991 hath notG3361 beenG1096 madeG1096 outG1537 ofG1537 thingsG4487 whichG3588 doG1096 appearG5316. 4ByG1223 faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 aG1510 moreG4183 excellent sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, throughG1223 whichG3739 heG2532 hadG1510 witnessG3140 borne toG1909 himG846 thatG3739 heG2532 wasG1510 righteousG1342, GodG2316 bearing witnessG3140 inG1909 respect ofG1223 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 throughG1223 itG846 heG2532 beingG1510 deadG599 yetG2532 speaketh. 5ByG2532 faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translated thatG3708 heG2532 shouldG2316 notG3756 seeG3708 deathG2288; andG2532 heG2532 was notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1063 GodG2316 translated himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translation heG2532 hath had witnessG3140 borne toG2532 himG846 thatG3708 heG2532 had beenG2532 well-pleasing unto GodG2316: 6AndG2532 withoutG5565 faithG4102 itG846 isG1510 impossibleG102 toG2532 beG1510 well-pleasing unto himG846: forG1063 heG2532 thatG3754 cometh toG2532 GodG2316 must believeG4100 thatG3754 heG2532 isG1510, andG2532 thatG3754 heG2532 isG1510 a rewarderG3406 ofG2316 themG846 thatG3754 seek afterG1161 himG846. 7ByG1223 faithG4102 NoahG3575, beingG1096 warnedG5537 ofG1223 GodG846 concerningG4012 thingsG3739 notG3739 seenG991 asG1519 yetG2532, moved withG1223 godly fear, preparedG2680 anG1096 arkG2787 toG1519 theG3588 saving ofG1223 hisG846 houseG3624; throughG1223 whichG3739 heG2532 condemnedG2632 theG3588 worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 ofG1223 theG3588 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 is accordingG2596 toG1519 faithG4102. 8ByG5117 faithG4102 AbrahamG11, whenG2532 heG2532 was calledG2564, obeyedG5219 toG1519 goG1831 outG1831 unto a placeG5117 whichG3739 heG2532 was toG1519 receiveG2983 forG1519 anG2532 inheritanceG2817; andG2532 heG2532 wentG1831 outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whither heG2532 wentG1831. 9ByG1722 faithG4102 heG2532 became a sojourner inG1722 theG3588 landG1093 ofG1093 promiseG1860, asG5613 inG1722 a landG1093 notG2532 hisG846 ownG846, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tentsG4633, withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, theG3588 heirsG4789 withG3326 himG846 ofG1093 theG3588 sameG846 promiseG1860: 10forG1063 heG2532 looked forG1063 theG3588 cityG4172 whichG3739 hath theG3588 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG1217 andG2532 maker is GodG2316. 11ByG3844 faithG4102 evenG2532 SarahG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 powerG1411 toG1519 conceive seedG4690 whenG2532 sheG846 was past ageG2540, sinceG1893 sheG846 countedG2233 himG846 faithfulG4103 whoG3588 had promisedG1861: 12whereforeG1352 alsoG2532 there sprang ofG1080 oneG1520, andG2532 himG2532 asG5613 good asG5613 deadG3499, soG2532 many asG5613 theG3588 starsG798 ofG1080 heavenG3772 inG2532 multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5613 theG3588 sandG285, whichG3588 is byG575 theG3588 seaG2281 shore, innumerableG382. 13TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG1909 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 theG3956 promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG3708 themG846 andG2532 greetedG782 themG846 fromG2596 afar, andG2532 having confessedG3670 thatG3754 theyG846 wereG1510 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrims onG1909 theG3956 earthG1093. 14ForG1063 theyG3754 thatG3754 sayG3004 suchG5108 thingsG5108 makeG1718 itG3004 manifest thatG3754 theyG3754 are seekingG1934 afterG1063 a countryG3968 ofG3004 theirG3754 ownG3968. 15AndG2532 ifG1487 indeedG2532 theyG3739 had beenG2192 mindful ofG575 thatG3739 country fromG575 whichG3739 theyG3739 went outG575, theyG3739 wouldG302 have had opportunityG2540 toG2532 returnG344. 16ButG1161 nowG1161 theyG846 desireG3713 aG1510 betterG2909 country, thatG3778 isG1510, aG1510 heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1510 notG3756 ashamedG1870 ofG2316 themG846, toG3778 beG1510 calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 heG846 hath preparedG2090 forG1063 themG846 aG1510 cityG4172. 17ByG2532 faithG4102 AbrahamG11, being triedG3985, offeredG4374 upG4374 IsaacG2464: yea, heG2532 that had gladly receivedG324 theG3588 promisesG1860 was offeringG4374 upG4374 hisG2532 onlyG3439 begottenG3439 son; 18even heG3739 toG4314 whomG3739 itG3739 was saidG2980, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thy seedG4690 beG4690 calledG2564: 19accounting thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1415 toG2532 raiseG1453 upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498; fromG1537 whence heG2532 did alsoG2532 inG1722 a parableG3850 receiveG2865 himG846 backG2865. 20ByG2532 faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269, evenG2532 concerningG4012 thingsG3195 toG3195 comeG3195. 21ByG1909 faithG4102 JacobG2384, whenG2532 heG2532 was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 eachG1538 ofG5207 theG3588 sonsG5207 ofG5207 JosephG2501; andG2532 worshipped, leaning uponG1909 theG3588 topG206 ofG5207 hisG846 staffG4464. 22ByG2532 faithG4102 JosephG2501, whenG2532 hisG846 end was nigh, madeG3421 mentionG3421 ofG5207 theG3588 departureG1841 ofG5207 theG3588 children ofG5207 IsraelG2474; andG2532 gaveG1781 commandment concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747. 23ByG5259 faithG4102 MosesG3475, whenG2532 heG2532 was bornG1080, was hidG2928 threeG5150 monthsG5150 byG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 theyG846 sawG3708 heG2532 was a goodly childG3813; andG2532 theyG846 were notG3756 afraidG5399 ofG1080 theG3588 king’sG935 commandment. 24ByG3004 faithG4102 MosesG3475, whenG1096 heG3004 was grown up, refusedG720 toG3004 beG1096 calledG3004 theG3004 sonG5207 ofG5207 Pharaoh’sG5328 daughterG2364; 25choosingG138 ratherG3123 toG2228 beG2316 evil entreated withG2316 theG3588 peopleG2992 ofG2316 GodG2316, thanG2228 toG2228 enjoyG619 theG3588 pleasuresG619 ofG2316 sinG266 forG2316 a season; 26accounting theG3588 reproachG3680 ofG3588 ChristG5547 greaterG3173 richesG4149 thanG3173 theG3588 treasuresG2344 ofG3588 EgyptG125: forG1063 he looked unto theG3588 recompense ofG3588 rewardG3405. 27ByG5613 faithG4102 heG5613 forsook EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 theG3588 wrathG2372 ofG935 theG3588 kingG935: forG1063 heG5613 enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 himG3708 whoG3588 is invisibleG517. 28ByG2532 faithG4102 heG2532 keptG4160 theG3588 passoverG3957, andG2532 theG3588 sprinklingG4378 ofG129 theG3588 bloodG129, thatG2443 theG3588 destroyer ofG129 theG3588 firstbornG4416 shouldG2443 notG3361 touchG2345 themG846. 29ByG1223 faithG4102 theyG3739 passedG1224 throughG1223 theG3588 RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 landG1093: whichG3739 theG3588 EgyptiansG124 assaying toG1093 doG2983 were swallowedG2666 upG2666. 30ByG1909 faithG4102 theG3588 wallsG5038 ofG2250 JerichoG2410 fellG4098 downG4098, afterG1909 theyG2250 had been compassed aboutG1909 forG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250. 31ByG3326 faithG4102 RahabG4460 theG3588 harlotG4204 perished notG3756 withG3326 themG3326 thatG3326 were disobedientG544, having receivedG1209 theG3588 spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515. 32AndG2532 whatG5101 shallG4396 IG1473 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 theG3588 timeG5550 willG5101 fail meG3004 ifG2532 IG1473 tellG3004 ofG4012 GideonG1066, BarakG913, SamsonG4546, JephthahG2422; ofG4012 DavidG1138 andG2532 SamuelG4545 andG2532 theG3588 prophetsG4396: 33whoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subdued kingdomsG932, wrought righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 theG1223 mouthsG4750 ofG932 lionsG3023, 34quenchedG4570 theG1722 powerG1411 ofG575 fireG4442, escapedG5343 theG1722 edgeG4750 ofG575 theG1722 swordG3162, fromG575 weaknessG769 were madeG1096 strongG2478, waxed mightyG2478 inG1722 warG4171, turnedG1096 toG1722 flightG2827 armiesG3925 ofG575 aliens. 35WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 byG1537 a resurrectionG386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 theirG846 deliverance; thatG2443 theyG846 might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386: 36andG2532 othersG2087 had trial ofG2532 mockings andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yea, moreoverG1161 ofG2532 bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG1199: 37theyG1722 were stonedG3034, theyG1722 were sawnG4249 asunder, theyG1722 were temptedG3985, theyG1722 were slain withG1722 theG1722 swordG3162: theyG1722 wentG4022 aboutG1722 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374, inG1722 goatskins; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, evil entreated 38(ofG1909 whomG3739 theG3588 worldG2889 wasG1510 notG3756 worthyG514), wanderingG4105 inG1909 desertsG2047 andG2532 mountainsG3735 andG2532 cavesG4693, andG2532 theG3588 holesG3692 ofG1909 theG3588 earthG1093. 39AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, havingG3140 had witnessG3140 borne toG2532 themG1223 throughG1223 theirG2532 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 theG3956 promiseG1860, 40GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thing concerningG4012 usG4012, thatG2443 apartG5565 fromG3361 usG4012 theyG5100 shouldG5100 notG3361 beG2316 madeG5048 perfectG5048.
