24 by faith Moses when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 chusing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 esteeming the sufferings of Israel greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had an eye to the reward.
27 by faith he left Egypt without being apprehensive of the king's resentment: for he remain'd firm, as if he saw him who is invisible.
28 through faith he celebrated the passover, and sprinkled blood, that the destroying angel might pass by the first-born.
29 By faith they passed thro' the red sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned.
30 by faith they made the tour of Jericho for seven days, in consequence of which the walls fell down.
31 by faith Rahab having given the spies a safe reception, escap'd being destroyed with unbelievers, tho' she had led a dissolute life.
32 And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, of Barak, of Samson, of Jephthae, of David, of Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, practis'd justice, obtained what was promised, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 were proof against the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, show'd their resolution in distress, and their valour in fight, putting to flight the armies of the aliens.
