By Faith We Understand

11Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.G1161G4102G2076G5287G1679G1650G4229G3756G991 2For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.G1063G1722G5026G4245G3140 3By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.G4102G3539G165G2675G4487G2316G1519G3588G991G1096G3361G1096G1537G5316

Faith at the Dawn of History

4By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.G4102G6G4374G2316G4119G2378G3844G2535G1223G3739G3140G1511G1342G2316G3140G1909G846G1435G2532G1223G846G599G2089G2980G2980 5By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.G4102G1802G3346G1492G3361G1492G2288G2532G2147G3756G2147G1360G2316G3346G846G1063G4253G846G3331G3140G2100G2316 6But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.G1161G5565G4102G102G2100G1063G4334G2316G1163G4100G3754G2076G2532G1096G3406G1567G846 7By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.G4102G3575G5537G4012G3369G991G3369G2125G2680G2787G1519G4991G846G3624G1223G3739G2632G2889G2532G1096G2818G1343G2596G4102

Faithful Abraham

8By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.G4102G11G2564G1831G1519G5117G3739G3195G2983G1519G2817G5219G2532G1831G3361G1987G4226G2064 9By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;G4102G3939G1519G1093G1860G5613G245G2730G1722G4633G3326G2464G2532G2384G4789G846G1860 10for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.G1063G1551G4172G2192G2310G3739G5079G2532G1217G2316 11By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.G4102G2532G4564G846G2983G1411G1519G2602G4690G2532G5088G3844G2540G2244G1893G2233G4103G1861 12Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.G1352G1080G2532G575G1520G2532G5023G3499G2531G798G3772G4128G2532G5616G285G3588G3844G2281G5491G382

The Heavenly Hope

13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.G3778G3956G599G2596G4102G3361G2983G1860G235G1492G846G4207G2532G3982G2532G782G2532G3670G3754G1526G3581G2532G3927G1909G1093 14For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.G1063G3004G5108G1718G3754G1934G3968 15And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.G2532G3303G1487G3421G1565G575G3739G1831G302G2192G2540G344 16But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.G1161G3570G3713G2909G5123G2032G1352G2316G1870G3756G1870G846G1941G846G2316G1063G2090G846G4172

The Faith of the Patriarchs

17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,G4102G11G3985G4374G2464G2532G324G1860G4374G3439 18of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,"G4314G3739G2980G3754G1722G2464G2564G4671G4690G2564 19concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.G3049G3754G2316G1415G1453G2532G1537G3498G3606G2532G2865G846G1722G3850 20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.G4102G2464G2127G2384G2532G2269G4012G3195 21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.G4102G2384G599G2127G1538G5207G2501G2532G4352G1909G206G846G4464 22By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.G4102G2501G5053G3421G4012G1841G5207G2474G2532G1781G4012G846G3747

The Faith of Moses

23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.G4102G3475G1080G2928G5150G5259G846G3962G1360G1492G791G3813G2532G5399G3756G5399G935G1297 24By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,G4102G3475G1096G3173G720G3004G5207G5328G2364 25choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,G138G3123G4778G2992G2316G2228G2192G619G266G4340 26esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.G2233G3680G5547G3187G4149G2233G2344G1722G125G1063G578G1519G3405 27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.G4102G2641G125G3361G5399G2372G935G1063G2594G5613G3708G517 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.G4102G4160G3957G2532G4378G129G3363G3645G4416G2345G846 29By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.G4102G1224G2063G2281G5613G1223G3584G3739G124G3984G2983G2666

By Faith They Overcame

30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.G4102G5038G2410G4098G2944G1909G2033G2250 31By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.G4102G4204G4460G4881G3756G544G1209G2685G3326G1515 32And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:G2532G5101G3004G2089G3004G1063G5550G1952G3165G1334G4012G1066G5037G913G2532G4546G2532G2422G1138G2532G5037G4545G2532G4396 33who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,G3739G1223G4102G2610G932G2038G1343G2013G1860G5420G4750G3023 34quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.G4570G1411G4442G5343G4750G3162G575G769G1743G1096G2478G1722G4171G2827G3925G245 35Women received their dead raised to life again. And others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.G1135G2983G846G3498G1537G386G1161G243G5178G3756G4327G629G2443G5177G2909G386 36Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.G1161G2087G2983G3984G1701G2532G3148G1161G2089G1199G2532G5438 37They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—G3034G4249G3985G599G1722G5408G3162G4022G1722G3374G1722G122G1192G5302G2346G2558 38of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.G3739G2889G2258G3756G514G4105G1722G2047G2532G3735G2532G4693G2532G3692G1093 39And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,G2532G3778G3956G3140G1223G4102G2865G3756G1860 40God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.G2316G4265G5100G2909G5100G4012G2257G3363G5048G5565G2257G5048G3363G5048
