58_HEB_11_01 now faith Is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .
58_HEB_11_02 for by it the elders obtained A good report .
58_HEB_11_03 through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God , So that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear .
58_HEB_11_04 by faith Abel offered unto God A more excellent sacrifice than Cain , by which he obtained witness that he was righteous , God testifying of his gifts : And by it he being dead yet speaketh .
58_HEB_11_05 by faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death ; And was not found , because God had translated him : for before his translation he had this testimony , that he pleased God .
58_HEB_11_06 but without faith [ it Is ] impossible to please [ him ] : for he that cometh to God must believe that he Is , And [ that ] he Is A rewarder of them that diligently seek him .
58_HEB_11_07 by faith Noah , being warned of God of things not seen as yet , moved with Fear , prepared an ark to the saving of his house ; by the which he condemned the world , And became heir of the righteousness which Is by faith .
58_HEB_11_08 by faith Abraham , when he was called to go out into A place which he should after receive for an inheritance , obeyed ; And he went out , not knowing whither he went .
58_HEB_11_09 by faith he sojourned in the land of promise , as [ in ] A strange country , dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac And Jacob , the heirs with him of the same promise :
58_HEB_11_10 for he looked for A city which hath foundations , whose builder And maker [ Is ] God .
58_HEB_11_11 through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed , And was delivered of A child when she was past age , because she judged him faithful who had promised .
58_HEB_11_12 therefore sprang there even of one , And him as good as dead , [ So Many ] as the stars of the sky in multitude , And as the sand which Is by the sea shore innumerable .
58_HEB_11_13 These all died in faith , not having received the promises , but having seen them afar off , And were persuaded of [ them ] , And embraced [ them ] , And confessed that they were strangers And pilgrims on the earth .
58_HEB_11_14 for they that say such things declare plainly that they seek A country .
58_HEB_11_15 And truly , if they had been mindful of that [ country ] from whence they came out , they might have had opportunity to have returned .
58_HEB_11_16 but now they desire A Better [ country ] , that Is , an heavenly : Wherefore God Is not ashamed to be called their God : for he hath prepared for them A city .
58_HEB_11_17 by faith Abraham , when he was tried , offered up Isaac : And he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [ son ] .
58_HEB_11_18 of whom it was said , that in Isaac shall thy seed be called :
58_HEB_11_19 Accounting that God [ was ] able to raise [ him ] up , even from the dead ; from whence also he received him in A figure .
58_HEB_11_20 by faith Isaac blessed Jacob And Esau concerning things to come .
58_HEB_11_21 by faith Jacob , when he was A dying , blessed Both the sons of Joseph ; And worshipped , [ leaning ] upon the top of his staff .
58_HEB_11_22 by faith Joseph , when he died , made mention of the departing of the children of Israel ; And gave commandment concerning his bones .
58_HEB_11_23 by faith Moses , when he was born , was hid three months of his parents , because they saw [ he was ] A proper child ; And they were not afraid of the king's commandment .
58_HEB_11_24 by faith Moses , when he was come to years , refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter ;
58_HEB_11_25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God , than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for A season ;
58_HEB_11_26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt : for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward .
58_HEB_11_27 by faith he forsook Egypt , not fearing the wrath of the king : for he endured , as seeing him who Is invisible .
58_HEB_11_28 through faith he kept the passover , And the sprinkling of blood , lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them .
58_HEB_11_29 by faith they passed through the red sea as by dry [ land ] : which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned .
58_HEB_11_30 by faith the walls of Jericho fell down , after they were compassed about seven days .
58_HEB_11_31 by faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not , when she had received the spies with peace .
58_HEB_11_32 And what shall I more say ? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon , And [ of ] Barak , And [ of ] Samson , And [ of ] Jephthae ; [ of ] David also , And Samuel , And [ of ] the prophets :
58_HEB_11_33 who through faith subdued kingdoms , wrought righteousness , obtained promises , stopped the mouths of lions ,
58_HEB_11_34 quenched the violence of fire , escaped the edge of the sword , out of weakness were made strong , waxed valiant in fight , turned to flight the armies of the aliens .
58_HEB_11_35 women received their dead raised to life again : And others were tortured , not accepting deliverance ; that they might obtain A Better resurrection :
58_HEB_11_36 And others had trial of [ cruel ] mockings And scourgings , yea , moreover of bonds And imprisonment :
58_HEB_11_37 they were stoned , they were sawn asunder , were tempted , were slain with the sword : they wandered about in sheepskins And goatskins ; being destitute , afflicted , tormented ;
58_HEB_11_38 [ of whom the world was not worthy : ] they wandered in deserts , And [ in ] mountains , And [ in ] dens And caves of the earth .
58_HEB_11_39 And These all , having obtained A good report through faith , received not the promise :
58_HEB_11_40 God having provided some Better thing for us , that they without us should not be made perfect .
