11NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see {and} the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].G1161G4102G2076G5287G1679G1650G4229G3756G991 2For by [faith--trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them {and} obtained a good report.G1063G1722G5026G4245G3140 3By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.G4102G3539G165G2675G4487G2316G1519G3588G991G1096G3361G1096G1537G5316 4[Prompted, actuated] by faith Abel brought God a better and more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, because of which it was testified of him that he was righteous [that he was upright and in right standing with God], and God bore witness by accepting {and} acknowledging his gifts. And though he died, yet [through the incident] he is still speaking.G4102G6G4374G2316G4119G2378G3844G2535G1223G3739G3140G1511G1342G2316G3140G1909G846G1435G2532G1223G846G599G2089G2980G2980 5Because of faith Enoch was caught up {and} transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony [still on record] that he had pleased {and} been satisfactory to God.G4102G1802G3346G1492G3361G1492G2288G2532G2147G3756G2147G1360G2316G3346G846G1063G4253G846G3331G3140G2100G2316 6But without faith it is impossible to please {and} be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly {and} diligently seek Him [out].G1161G5565G4102G102G2100G1063G4334G2316G1163G4100G3754G2076G2532G1096G3406G1567G846 7[Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed {and} diligently {and} reverently constructed {and} prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this [his faith which relied on God] he passed judgment {and} sentence on the world's unbelief and became an heir {and} possessor of righteousness (that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith).G4102G3575G5537G4012G3369G991G3369G2125G2680G2787G1519G4991G846G3624G1223G3739G2632G2889G2532G1096G2818G1343G2596G4102 8[Urged on] by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know {or} trouble his mind about where he was to go.G4102G11G2564G1831G1519G5117G3739G3195G2983G1519G2817G5219G2532G1831G3361G1987G4226G2064 9[Prompted] by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise [of God, though he was like a stranger] in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise.G4102G3939G1519G1093G1860G5613G245G2730G1722G4633G3326G2464G2532G2384G4789G846G1860 10For he was [waiting expectantly and confidently] looking forward to the city which has fixed {and} firm foundations, whose Architect {and} Builder is God.G1063G1551G4172G2192G2310G3739G5079G2532G1217G2316 11Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable {and} trustworthy {and} true to His word.G4102G2532G4564G846G2983G1411G1519G2602G4690G2532G5088G3844G2540G2244G1893G2233G4103G1861 12So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, there have sprung descendants whose number is as the stars of heaven and as countless as the innumerable sands on the seashore.G1352G1080G2532G575G1520G2532G5023G3499G2531G798G3772G4128G2532G5616G285G3588G3844G2281G5491G382 13These people all died controlled {and} sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of [God's] promises, only having seen it {and} greeted it from a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging {and} confessing that they were strangers {and} temporary residents {and} exiles upon the earth.G3778G3956G599G2596G4102G3361G2983G1860G235G1492G846G4207G2532G3982G2532G782G2532G3670G3754G1526G3581G2532G3927G1909G1093 14Now those people who talk as they did show plainly that they are in search of a fatherland (their own country).G1063G3004G5108G1718G3754G1934G3968 15If they had been thinking with [homesick] remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have found constant opportunity to return to it.G2532G3303G1487G3421G1565G575G3739G1831G302G2192G2540G344 16But the truth is that they were yearning for {and} aspiring to a better {and} more desirable country, that is, a heavenly [one]. For that reason God is not ashamed to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God--the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob], for He has prepared a city for them.G1161G3570G3713G2909G5123G2032G1352G2316G1870G3756G1870G846G1941G846G2316G1063G2090G846G4172 17By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test [while the testing of his faith was still in progress], had already brought Isaac for an offering; he who had gladly received {and} welcomed [God's] promises was ready to sacrifice his only son,G4102G11G3985G4374G2464G2532G324G1860G4374G3439 18Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be reckoned.G4314G3739G2980G3754G1722G2464G2564G4671G4690G2564 19For he reasoned that God was able to raise [him] up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively dead [potentially sacrificed], he did [actually] receive him back from the dead.G3049G3754G2316G1415G1453G2532G1537G3498G3606G2532G2865G846G1722G3850 20[With eyes of] faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau.G4102G2464G2127G2384G2532G2269G4012G3195 21[Prompted] by faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons and bowed in prayer over the top of his staff.G4102G2384G599G2127G1538G5207G2501G2532G4352G1909G206G846G4464 22[Actuated] by faith Joseph, when nearing the end of his life, referred to [the promise of God for] the departure of the Israelites out of Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his own bones.G4102G2501G5053G3421G4012G1841G5207G2474G2532G1781G4012G846G3747 23[Prompted] by faith Moses, after his birth, was kept concealed for three months by his parents, because they saw how comely the child was; and they were not overawed {and} terrified by the king's decree.G4102G3475G1080G2928G5150G5259G846G3962G1360G1492G791G3813G2532G5399G3756G5399G935G1297 24[Aroused] by faith Moses, when he had grown to maturity {and} become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,G4102G3475G1096G3173G720G3004G5207G5328G2364 25Because he preferred to share the oppression [suffer the hardships] {and} bear the shame of the people of God rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life.G138G3123G4778G2992G2316G2228G2192G619G266G4340 26He considered the contempt {and} abuse {and} shame [borne for] the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward {and} away to the reward (recompense).G2233G3680G5547G3187G4149G2233G2344G1722G125G1063G578G1519G3405 27[Motivated] by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed {and} undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched {but} held staunchly to his purpose {and} endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible.G4102G2641G125G3361G5399G2372G935G1063G2594G5613G3708G517 28By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted {and} carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood [on the doorposts], so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those [of the children of Israel].G4102G4160G3957G2532G4378G129G3363G3645G4416G2345G846 29[Urged on] by faith the people crossed the Red Sea as [though] on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up [by the sea].G4102G1224G2063G2281G5613G1223G3584G3739G124G3984G2983G2666 30Because of faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days [by the Israelites].G4102G5038G2410G4098G2944G1909G2033G2250 31[Prompted] by faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe {and} obey, because she had received the spies in peace [without enmity].G4102G4204G4460G4881G3756G544G1209G2685G3326G1515 32And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,G2532G5101G3004G2089G3004G1063G5550G1952G3165G1334G4012G1066G5037G913G2532G4546G2532G2422G1138G2532G5037G4545G2532G4396 33Who by [the help of] faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions,G3739G1223G4102G2610G932G2038G1343G2013G1860G5420G4750G3023 34Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty {and} weakness won strength {and} became stalwart, even mighty {and} resistless in battle, routing alien hosts.G4570G1411G4442G5343G4750G3162G575G769G1743G1096G2478G1722G4171G2827G3925G245 35[Some] women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept release [offered on the terms of denying their faith], so that they might be resurrected to a better life. [I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37.]G1135G2983G846G3498G1537G386G1161G243G5178G3756G4327G629G2443G5177G2909G386 36Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment.G1161G2087G2983G3984G1701G2532G3148G1161G2089G1199G2532G5438 37They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers [to renounce their faith]; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; [while they were alive] they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated--G3034G4249G3985G599G1722G5408G3162G4022G1722G3374G1722G122G1192G5302G2346G2558 38[Men] of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and [living] in caves {and} caverns and holes of the earth.G3739G2889G2258G3756G514G4105G1722G2047G2532G3735G2532G4693G2532G3692G1093 39And all of these, though they won divine approval by [means of] their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised,G2532G3778G3956G3140G1223G4102G2865G3756G1860 40Because God had us in mind {and} had something better {and} greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them].G2316G4265G5100G2909G5100G4012G2257G3363G5048G5565G2257G5048G3363G5048
