[1]NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076[G5748] the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679[G5746], the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991.[G5746]
[2]ForG1063 byG1722 itG5026 the eldersG4245 obtained a good reportG3140.[G5681]
[3]Through faithG4102 we understandG3539[G5719] that the worldsG165 were framedG2675[G5771] by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that things whichG3588 are seenG991[G5746] wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096[G5755] ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.[G5730]
[4]By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374[G5656] unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140[G5681] that he wasG1511[G5750] righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140[G5723] ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599[G5631] yetG2089 speakethG2980[G5731][G5625][G2980].[G5719]
[5]By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346[G5681] that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492[G5629] deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147[G5712], becauseG1360 GodG2316 had translatedG3346[G5656] himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3331 he had this testimonyG3140[G5769], that he pleasedG2100[G5760] GodG2316.
[6]ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100[G5658] him: forG1063 he that comethG4334[G5740] to GodG2316 mustG1163[G5748] believeG4100[G5658] thatG3754 he isG2076[G5748], andG2532 that he isG1096[G5736] a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567[G5723] himG846.
[7]By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537[G5685] ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991[G5746] as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125[G5685], preparedG2680[G5656] an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632[G5656] the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096[G5633] heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102.
[8]By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564[G5746] to go outG1831[G5629] intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195[G5707] receiveG2983[G5721] forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219[G5656]; andG2532 he went outG1831[G5627], notG3361 knowingG1987[G5740] whitherG4226 he wentG2064.[G5736]
[9]By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939[G5656] inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730[G5660] inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
[10]ForG1063 he looked forG1551[G5711] a cityG4172 which hathG2192[G5723] foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
[11]Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983[G5627] strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088[G5627] when she was pastG3844 ageG2540[G2244], becauseG1893 she judgedG2233[G5662] him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.[G5666]
[12]ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080[G5681] evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499[G5772], so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
[13]TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599[G5627] inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983[G5631] the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492[G5631] themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982[G5685] them, andG2532 embracedG782[G5666] them, andG2532 confessedG3670[G5660] thatG3754 they wereG1526[G5748] strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093.
[14]ForG1063 they that sayG3004[G5723] such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718[G5719] thatG3754 they seekG1934[G5719] a countryG3968.
[15]AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421[G5707] of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831[G5627], they mightG302 have hadG2192[G5707] opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.[G5658]
[16]ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713[G5734] a betterG2909 country, that isG5123[G5748], an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870[G5736][G846] to be calledG1941[G5745] theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090[G5656] for themG846 a cityG4172.
[17]By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985[G5746], offered upG4374[G5754] IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324[G5666] the promisesG1860 offered upG4374[G5707] his only begotten sonG3439,
[18]OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980[G5681], ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564:[G5701]
[19]AccountingG3049[G5666] thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453[G5721], evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865[G5668] himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
[20]By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127[G5656] JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.[G5723]
[21]By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599[G5723], blessedG2127[G5656] bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352[G5656], leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
[22]By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053[G5723], made mentionG3421[G5656] ofG4012 the departingG1841 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781[G5662] concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747.
[23]By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080[G5685], was hidG2928[G5648] three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG1492[G5627] he was a properG791 childG3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399[G5675] of the king'sG935 commandmentG1297.
[24]By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096[G5637] to yearsG3173, refusedG720[G5662] to be calledG3004[G5745] the sonG5207 of Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364;
[25]ChoosingG138[G5642] ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778[G5738] with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192[G5721][G619] of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
[26]EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3187 richesG4149 thanG2233[G5666] the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578[G5707] untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3405.
[27]By faithG4102 he forsookG2641[G5627] EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399[G5679] the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594[G5656], asG5613 seeingG3708[G5723] him who is invisibleG517.
[28]Through faithG4102 he keptG4160[G5758] the passoverG3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG4378 of bloodG129, lestG3363 he that destroyedG3645[G5723] the firstbornG4416 should touchG2345[G5632] themG846.
[29]By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224[G5627] the RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983[G5631] were drownedG2666.[G5681]
[30]By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098[G5627], after they were compassedG2944[G5685] aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
[31]By faithG4102 the harlotG4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881[G5639] notG3756 with them that believed notG544[G5660], when she had receivedG1209[G5666] the spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515.
[32]AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004[G5725]? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952[G5692] meG3165 to tellG1334[G5740] ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
[33]WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610[G5662] kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038[G5662] righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013[G5627] promisesG1860, stoppedG5420[G5656] the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,
[34]QuenchedG4570[G5656] the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343[G5627] the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743[G5681], waxedG1096[G5675] valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827[G5656] the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
[35]WomenG1135 receivedG2983[G5627] theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG1537[G386]: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178[G5681], notG3756 acceptingG4327[G5666] deliveranceG629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177[G5632] a betterG2909 resurrectionG386:
[36]AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983[G5627] trialG3984 of cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG1161, moreoverG2089 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:
[37]They were stonedG3034[G5681], they were sawn asunderG4249[G5681], were temptedG3985[G5681], were slainG599[G5627] withG1722 the swordG5408[G3162]: they wandered aboutG4022[G5627] inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122[G1192]; being destituteG5302[G5746], afflictedG2346[G5746], G2558tormentedG5746
[38](Of whomG3739 the worldG2889 wasG2258[G5713] notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105[G5746] inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3692 of the earthG1093.
[39]AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140[G5685] throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865[G5668] notG3756 the promiseG1860:
[40]GodG2316 having providedG4265[G5671] someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048.[G5686]
