Goodspeed(i)
24 Faith made Moses, when he was grown up, refuse to be known as a son of Pharaoh's daughter,
25 for he preferred sharing the hardships of God's people to a short-lived enjoyment of sin,
26 and thought such contempt as the Christ endured was truer wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking forward to the coming reward.
27 Faith made him leave Egypt, unafraid of the king's anger, for he persevered as though he saw him who is unseen.
28 Faith made him institute the Passover and splash the blood upon the door-posts, to keep the angel that destroyed the firstborn from touching them.
29 Faith enabled them to cross the Red Sea as though it were dry land, although the Egyptians when they tried to follow them across it were drowned.
30 Faith made the walls of Jericho fall, after they had marched around them each day for seven days.
31 Faith saved Rahab the prostitute from being destroyed with those who disobeyed God, because she had given a friendly welcome to the scouts.
32 And why should I go on? For my time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
33 who by their faith conquered kingdoms, attained uprightness, received new promises, shut the mouths of lions,
34 put out furious fires, escaped death by the sword, found strength in their time of weakness, proved mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
