4 G4102 By belief G4183 [³a greater G2378 ⁴sacrifice G* ¹Abel G3844 ⁵than G* ⁶Cain G4374 ²offered] G3588 G2316 to God, G1223 by G3739 which G3140 he bore witness G1510.1 to be G1342 just, G3140 [²testifying G1909 ³over G3588 G1435 ⁴his gifts G1473 G3588 G2316 ¹by God]; G2532 and G1223 through G1473 it G599 having died G2089 still G2980 speaks.

5 G4102 By belief G* Enoch G3346 was transposed G3588 G3361 to not G1492 know G2288 death, G2532 and G3756 was not G2147 found, G1360 because G3346 [²transposed G1473 ³him G3588 G2316 ¹God]; G4253 for before G1063 G3588 G3331 his transposition G1473 G3140 he bore witness G2100 to have been well-pleasing G3588 to G2316 God.

6 G5565 But apart from G1161 G4102 belief G102 it is impossible G2100 to well-please; G4100 [⁶to believe G1063 ¹for G1163 ²it is necessary G3588 ³for the one G4334 ⁴coming forward G3588 G2316 ⁵to God] G3754 that G1510.2.3 he is; G2532 and G3588 to the ones G1567 seeking after G1473 him G3406 [²a paymaster G1096 ¹he becomes].

7 G4102 By belief G5537 Noah having received a divine message G* G4012 concerning G3588 the things G3369 not as yet G991 being seen, G2125 showing reverence, G2680 carefully prepared G2787 the ark G1519 for G4991 deliverance G3588 G3624 of his house; G1473 G1223 by G3739 which G2632 he condemned G3588 the G2889 world; G2532 and G3588 of the thing G2596 according to G4102 belief G1343 [³of righteousness G1096 ¹he became G2818 ²heir].

8 G4102 By belief G2564 Abraham being called, G* G5219 obeyed G1831 to go forth G1519 unto G3588 the G5117 place G3739 which G3195 he was about G2983 to receive G1519 for G2817 an inheritance; G2532 and G1831 he went forth G3361 not G1987 having knowledge of G4226 where G2064 he went.

9 G4102 By belief G3939 he sojourned G1519 in G3588 the G1093 land G3588 of the G1860 promise, G5613 as G245 an alien, G1722 in G4633 tents G2730 dwelling G3326 with G* Isaac G2532 and G* Jacob, G3588 the G4789 joint-heirs G3588 of the G1860 same promise; G3588 G1473

10 G1551 for he looked out for G1063 G3588 the G3588 G2310 [³foundations G2192 ²having G4172 ¹city], G3739 of which G5079 the craftsman G2532 and G1217 engineer G3588 G2316 is God.

11 G4102 By belief G2532 also G1473 Sarah herself G* G1411 [²power G1519 ³for G2602 ⁴founding G4690 ⁵seed G2983 ¹received], G2532 and G3844 past G2540 the time G2244 of vigor G5088 gave birth, G1893 since G4103 believing G2233 she esteemed G3588 the one G1861 promising.

12 G1352 Therefore G2532 also G575 from G1520 one G1080 they were born G2532 (and G3778 these G3499 were as deadened) G2531 as G3588 the G798 stars G3588 of the G3772 heaven G3588 G4128 in multitude, G2532 and G5613 as G3588 the G285 sand G3588 G3844 by G3588 the G5491 edge G3588 of the G2281 sea G3588 G382 is innumerable.

13 G2596 According to G4102 belief G599 [³died G3778 ¹these G3956 ²all], G3361 not G2983 receiving G3588 the G1860 promises, G235 but G4207 at a distance G1473 beholding them, G1492 G2532 and G3982 being persuaded, G2532 and G782 greeting, G2532 and G3670 acknowledging G3754 that G3581 [²strangers G2532 ³and G3927 ⁴immigrants G1510.2.6 ¹they are] G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth.

14 G3588 For the ones G1063 G5108 [²such things G3004 ¹saying] G1718 reveal G3754 that G3968 [² the fatherland G1934 ¹they anxiously seek].

15 G2532 And G1487 if G3303 indeed, G1565 those G3421 remembering G575 from G3739 where G1831 they came forth, G2192 they had G302 even G2540 time G344 to return.

16 G3568 But now G1161 G2908 a better thing G3713 they reach for, G5123 that is to say, G2032 a heavenly. G1352 Therefore G3756 [²is not G1870 ³ashamed of G1473 ⁴them G3588 G2316 ¹God], G2316 [³God G1941 ¹to be called G1473 ²their]; G2090 for he prepared G1063 G1473 for them G4172 a city.

17 G4102 By belief G4374 Abraham offered G* G3588 G* Isaac, G3985 being tested, G2532 and G3588 [⁵the G3439 ⁶only child G4374 ⁴offered up G3588 G3588 ²the G1860 ³promises G324 ¹the one receiving],

18 G4314 towards G3739 whom G2980 it was said G3754 that, G1722 In G* Isaac G2564 [²shall be called G1473 ³to you G4690 ¹a seed];

19 G3049 considering G3754 that G2532 [⁴even G1537 ⁵from G3498 ⁶ the dead G1453 ³to raise G1415 ² was able G3588 G2316 ¹God]; G3606 from where G1473 [²him G2532 ³even G1722 ⁴in G3850 ⁵parable G2865 ¹he received].

20 G4102 By belief G4012 concerning G3195 things about to be G2127 Isaac blessed G* G3588 G* Jacob G2532 and G3588 G* Esau.

21 G4102 By belief G* Jacob G599 dying G1538 [²each G3588 ³of the G5207 ⁴sons G* ⁵of Joseph G2127 ¹blessed], G2532 and G4352 did obeisance G1909 upon G3588 the G206 tip G3588 G4464 of his cane. G1473

22 G4102 By belief G* Joseph, G5053 coming to an end, G4012 [²concerning G3588 ³the G1841 ⁴exodus G3588 ⁵of the G5207 ⁶sons G* ⁷of Israel G3421 ¹made mention]; G2532 and G4012 [²concerning G3588 G3747 ³his bones G1473 G1781 ¹gave charge].

23 G4102 By belief G* Moses, G1080 having been born, G2928 was hid G5150 three months G5259 by G3588 G3962 his fathers, G1473 G1360 because G1492 they saw G791 [³as fair G3588 ¹the G3813 ²child]; G2532 and G3756 they did not G5399 fear G3588 the G1297 edict G3588 of the G935 king.

24 G4102 By belief G* Moses, G3173 [²great G1096 ¹having become], G720 denied G3004 to be called G5207 son G2364 of Pharaoh's daughter, G*

25 G3123 [²rather G138 ¹ seeming it as being good] G4778 to suffer affliction with G3588 the G2992 people G3588 G2316 of God, G2228 than G4340 [²temporary G2192 ¹to have G266 ⁴in sins G619 ³enjoyment];

26 G3173 [⁶greater G4149 ⁷riches G2233 ¹esteeming G3588 ⁸than the G1722 ¹⁰in G* ¹¹Egypt G2344 ⁹treasures G3588 ²the G3680 ³scorning G3588 ⁴of the G5547 ⁵anointed]; G578 for he looked away G1063 G1519 to G3588 the G3405 payment.

27 G4102 By belief G2641 he left G* Egypt, G3361 not G5399 fearing G3588 the G2372 rage G3588 of the G935 king; G3588 G1063 for G517 [³ the unseen G5613 ¹as G3708 ²seeing] G2594 he persevered.

28 G4102 By belief G4160 he observed G3588 the G3957 passover G2532 and G3588 the G4378 pouring G3588 of the G129 blood, G2443 lest G3361 G3588 the one G3645 annihilating G3588 the G4416 first-born G2345 should touch G1473 them.

29 G4102 By belief G1224 they passed over G3588 the G2063 red G2281 sea, G5613 as G1223 through G3584 dry land; G3739 of which G3984 [⁴ the attempt G2983 ³taking G3588 ¹the G* ²Egyptians] G2666 were swallowed down.

30 G4102 By belief G3588 the G5038 walls G* of Jericho G4098 fell, G2944 having been encircled G1909 for G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By belief G* Rahab G3588 the G4204 harlot G3756 was not G4881 destroyed together G3588 with the ones G544 having disobeyed, G1209 receiving G3588 the G2685 spies G3326 with G1515 peace.

32 G2532 And G5100 what G2089 yet G3004 say I? G1952 For it shall be deficient G1063 G1473 of me G1334 not describing G3588 the G5550 time G4012 concerning G* Gideon, G* Barak G5037 and also G2532 G* Samson, G2532 and G* Jephthah, G* also David G5037 G2532 and G* Samuel, G2532 and G3588 the G4396 prophets;

33 G3739 the ones who G1223 through G4102 belief G2610 conquered G932 kingdoms, G2038 worked G1343 righteousness, G2013 succeeded in G1860 the promises, G5420 shut up G4750 mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 extinguished G1411 the power G4442 of fire, G5343 fled G4750 the mouths G3162 of swords, G1743 were empowered G575 from out of G769 weakness, G1096 became G2478 strong G1722 in G4171 war; G3925 [² the camps G2827 ¹they leaned] G245 of aliens;

35 G2983 [²received G1135 ¹women] G1537 G386 a resurrection G3588 G3498 of their dead; G1473 G243 and others G1161 G5178 were pounded, G3756 not G4327 accepting G3588 the G629 release by ransom, G2443 that G2908 a better G386 resurrection G5177 they should attain.

36 G2087 And others G1161 G1701 [³of mocking G2532 ⁴and G3148 ⁵of whips G3984 ²a trial G2983 ¹received], G2089 and still G1161 G1199 of bonds G2532 and G5438 prison.

37 G3034 They were stoned, G4249 were sawn, G3985 were tested, G1722 [²by G5408 ³murder G3162 ⁴of the sword G599 ¹they died]; G4022 they went around G1722 in G3374 sheepskins, G1722 in G122 goat's G1192 skins; G5302 lacking, G2346 being afflicted, G2558 being mistreated;

38 G3739 (of whom G3756 [³was not G1510.7.3 G514 ⁴worthy G3588 ¹the G2889 ²world]) G1722 [²in G2047 ³desolate places G4105 ¹wandering], G2532 and G3735 in mountains, G2532 and G4693 in caves, G2532 and G3588 the G3692 openings G3588 of the G1093 earth.

39 G2532 And G3778 these G3956 all G3140 testifying G1223 on account of G3588 the G4102 belief G3756 while not G2865 receiving G3588 the G1860 promise,

40 G3588 G2316 [³of God G4012 ⁴for G1473 ⁵us G2908 ²something better G5100 G4265 ¹having foreseen], G2443 that G3361 [²not G5565 ⁴separate from G1473 ⁵us G5048 ¹they should ³be perfected].

4 G4102 By faith G6 Abel G4374 [G5656] offered G2316 to God G4119 a more excellent G2378 sacrifice G3844 than G2535 Cain, G1223 by G3739 which G3140 [G5681] he obtained the testimony G1511 [G5750] that he was G1342 righteous, G2316 God G3140 [G5723] testifying G1909 of G846 his G1435 gifts: G2532 and G1223 by G846 it G599 [G5631] he being dead G2089 yet G2980 G2980 [G5731] speaketh.

5 G4102 By faith G1802 Enoch G3346 [G5681] was transposed G1492 0 that he should G3361 not G1492 [G5629] see G2288 death; G2532 and G2147 0 was G3756 not G2147 [G5712] found, G1360 because G2316 God G3346 [G5656] had transposed G846 him: G1063 for G4253 before G846 his G3331 transposition G3140 [G5769] he had this testimony, G2100 [G5760] that he pleased G2316 God.

6 G1161 But G5565 without G4102 faith G102 it is impossible G2100 [G5658] to please G1063 him: for G4334 [G5740] he that cometh G2316 to God G1163 [G5748] must G4100 [G5658] believe G3754 that G2076 [G5748] he is, G2532 and G1096 [G5736] that he is G3406 a rewarder G1567 [G5723] of them that diligently seek G846 him.

7 G4102 By faith G3575 Noah, G5537 [G5685] having received a divine message G4012 of G3369 0 things not G991 [G5746] seen G3369 as yet, G2125 [G5685] moved with fear, G2680 [G5656] prepared G2787 an ark G1519 to G4991 the saving G846 of his G3624 house; G1223 by G3739 which G2632 [G5656] he condemned G2889 the world, G2532 and G1096 [G5633] became G2818 heir G1343 of the righteousness G2596 according to G4102 faith.

8 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G2564 [G5746] when he was called G1831 [G5629] to move G1519 into G5117 a place G3739 which G3195 [G5707] he should later G2983 [G5721] receive G1519 for G2817 an inheritance, G5219 [G5656] obeyed; G2532 and G1831 [G5627] he went out, G3361 not G1987 [G5740] knowing G4226 where G2064 [G5736] he was going.

9 G4102 By faith G3939 [G5656] he sojourned G1519 in G1093 the land G1860 of promise, G5613 as G245 in a foreign country, G2730 [G5660] dwelling G1722 in G4633 tents G3326 with G2464 Isaac G2532 and G2384 Jacob, G4789 the heirs with him G846 of the same G1860 promise:

10 G1063 For G1551 [G5711] he waited for G3588 the G4172 city G2192 [G5723] having G3588 G2310 foundations, G3739 whose G5079 craftsman G2532 and G1217 worker for the populace G2316 is God.

11 G4102 Through faith G2532 also G4564 Sarah G846 herself G2983 [G5627] received G1411 power G1519 unto G2602 casting down G4690 seed, G2532 and G5088 [G5627] brought forth G3844 past G2540 the season G2244 of maturity, G1893 since G2233 [G5662] she deemed G3588 the one G1861 [G5666] promising G4103 to be faithful.

12 G1352 Therefore G1080 [G5681] there sprang G2532 even G575 from G1520 one, G2532 and G5023 him G3499 [G5772] as good as dead, G2531 so many as G798 the stars G3772 of the sky G4128 in multitude, G2532 and G5616 as G285 the sand G3588 which G3844 is by G2281 the sea G5491 shore G382 innumerable.

13 G3778 These G3956 all G599 [G5627] died G2596 in G4102 faith, G3361 not G2983 [G5631] having received G1860 the promises, G235 but G1492 [G5631] having seen G846 them G4207 afar off, G2532 and G3982 [G5685] were persuaded of G2532 them, and G782 [G5666] embraced G2532 them, and G3670 [G5660] confessed G3754 that G1526 [G5748] they were G3581 strangers G2532 and G3927 pilgrims G1909 on G1093 the earth.

14 G1063 For G3588 those G3004 [G5723] saying G5108 such things G1718 [G5719] exhibit G3754 that G1934 [G5719] they seek after G3968 the fatherland.

15 G2532 And G3303 truly, G1487 if G3421 [G5707] they had been mindful G1565 of that country G575 from G3739 which G1831 [G5627] they came, G302 they might G2192 [G5707] have had G2540 season G344 [G5658] to return.

16 G1161 But G3570 now G3713 [G5734] they reach for G2909 a better G5123 [G5748] country, that is, G2032 an heavenly: G1352 therefore G2316 God G1870 0 is G3756 not G1870 G846 [G5736] ashamed G1941 [G5745] to be called G846 their G2316 God: G1063 for G2090 [G5656] he hath prepared G846 for them G4172 a city.

17 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G3985 [G5746] when he was tried, G4374 [G5754] offered up G2464 Isaac: G2532 and G324 [G5666] he that had received G1860 the promises G4374 [G5707] offered up G3439 his only begotten son,

18 G4314 Of G3739 whom G2980 [G5681] it was spoken, G3754 That G1722 in G2464 Isaac G2564 0 shall G4671 thy G4690 seed G2564 [G5701] be called:

19 G3049 [G5666] Accounting G3754 that G2316 God G1415 was able G1453 [G5721] to raise him up, G2532 even G1537 from G3498 the dead; G3606 from which G2532 also G2865 [G5668] he received G846 him G1722 in G3850 a figure.

20 G4102 By faith G2464 Isaac G2127 [G5656] blessed G2384 Jacob G2532 and G2269 Esau G4012 concerning G3195 [G5723] things to come.

21 G4102 By faith G2384 Jacob, G599 [G5723] when he was dying, G2127 [G5656] blessed G1538 each G3588 of the G5207 sons G2501 of Joseph; G2532 and G4352 [G5656] worshipped, G1909 leaning upon G3588 the G206 top G846 of his G4464 rod.

22 G4102 By faith G2501 Joseph, G5053 [G5723] when he died, G3421 [G5656] made mention G4012 concerning G3588 the G1841 exodus G2532 and G4012 concerning G3588 the G5207 sons G2474 of Israel; G2532 and G1781 [G5662] gave commandment G4012 concerning G846 his G3747 bones.

23 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1080 [G5685] when he was born, G2928 [G5648] was hid G5150 three months G5259 by G846 his G3962 parents, G1360 because G1492 [G5627] they saw G791 he was a beautiful G3813 child; G2532 and G5399 0 they were G3756 not G5399 [G5675] afraid G935 of the king's G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1096 [G5637] when he had come G3173 to years, G720 [G5662] refused G3004 [G5745] to be called G5207 the son G5328 of Pharaoh's G2364 daughter;

25 G138 [G5642] Choosing G3123 rather G4778 [G5738] to suffer maltreatment with G2992 the people G2316 of God, G2228 than G2192 [G5721] to have G4340 temporary G619 enjoyment G266 of sin;

26 G2233 0 Esteeming G3680 the reproach G5547 of Anointed G3187 greater G4149 riches G2233 [G5666] than G2344 the treasures G1722 of G125 Egypt: G1063 for G578 [G5707] he had respect G1519 to G3405 the recompence of the reward.

27 G4102 By faith G2641 [G5627] he forsook G125 Egypt, G3361 not G5399 [G5679] fearing G2372 the rage G935 of the king: G1063 for G2594 [G5656] he persevered, G5613 as G3708 [G5723] seeing G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 Through faith G4160 [G5758] he kept G3957 the passover, G2532 and G4378 the sprinkling G129 of blood, G3363 lest G3588 he that is G3645 [G5723] annihilating G4416 the firstborn G2345 [G5632] should touch G846 them.

29 G4102 By faith G1224 [G5627] they passed through G3588 the G2063 Red G2281 sea G5613 as G1223 through G3584 dry land: G3739 of which G3588 the G124 Egyptians G2983 [G5631] taking G3984 a trial of doing G2666 [G5681] were swallowed down.

30 G4102 By faith G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 [G5627] fell down, G2944 [G5685] after they had been encircled G1909 for G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith G4204 the harlot G4460 Rahab G3756 was not G4881 [G5639] made lost together G544 [G5660] with them that believed not, G1209 [G5666] after she had received G3588 the G2685 spies G3326 with G1515 peace.

32 G2532 And G5101 what G2089 more G3004 [G5725] shall I say? G1063 for G5550 the time G1952 [G5692] would fail G3165 me G1334 [G5740] to tell G4012 of G1066 Gideon, G5037 and G913 of Barak, G2532 and G4546 of Samson, G2532 and G2422 of Jephthah; G1138 of David G2532 also, G5037 and G4545 Samuel, G2532 and G4396 of the prophets:

33 G3739 Who G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 [G5662] subdued G932 kingdoms, G2038 [G5662] wrought G1343 righteousness, G2013 [G5627] obtained G1860 promises, G5420 [G5656] stopped G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 [G5656] Quenched G1411 the power G4442 of fire, G5343 [G5627] escaped G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword, G575 from G769 weakness G1743 [G5681] were empowered, G1096 [G5675] became G2478 strong G1722 in G4171 war, G2827 [G5656] caused to turn back G3925 the armies G245 of the aliens.

35 G1135 Women G2983 [G5627] received G846 their G3498 dead G1537 G386 raised to life again: G1161 and G243 others G5178 [G5681] were tortured, G3756 not G4327 [G5666] accepting G629 deliverance; G2443 that G5177 [G5632] they might obtain G2909 a better G386 resurrection:

36 G1161 And G2087 others G2983 [G5627] had G3984 trial G1701 of cruel mockings G2532 and G3148 scourgings, G1161 and, G2089 moreover G1199 of bonds G2532 and G5438 imprisonment:

37 G3034 [G5681] They were stoned, G4249 [G5681] they were sawn asunder, G3985 [G5681] were tempted, G599 [G5627] they died G1722 by G5408 murder G3162 of the sword: G4022 [G5627] they wandered about G1722 in G3374 sheepskins G1722 and G122 goat's G1192 skins; G5302 [G5746] being destitute, G2346 [G5746] being pressed, G2558 [G5746] being maltreated;

38 G3739 (Of whom G2889 the world G2258 [G5713] was G3756 not G514 worthy:) G4105 [G5746] they wandered G1722 in G2047 deserts, G2532 and G3735 in mountains, G2532 and G4693 in dens G2532 and G3692 caves G1093 of the earth.

39 G2532 And G3778 these G3956 all, G3140 [G5685] having obtained a good report G1223 through G4102 faith, G2865 [G5668] received G3756 not G1860 the promise:

40 G2316 God G4265 [G5671] having provided G5100 0 some G2909 better G5100 thing G4012 for G2257 us, G3363 0 that G5048 0 they G5565 without G2257 us G5048 0 should G3363 not G5048 [G5686] be made perfect.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Fide plurimam hostiam Abel, quam Cain, obtulit Deo, per quam testimonium consecutus est esse justus, testimonium perhibente muneribus ejus Deo, et per illam defunctus adhuc loquitur. ⁵ Fide Henoch translatus est ne videret mortem, et non inveniebatur, quia transtulit illum Deus: ante translationem enim testimonium habuit placuisse Deo. ⁶ Sine fide autem impossibile est placere Deo. Credere enim oportet accedentem ad Deum quia est, et inquirentibus se remunerator sit. ⁷ Fide Noë responso accepto de iis quæ adhuc non videbantur, metuens aptavit arcam in salutem domus suæ, per quam damnavit mundum: et justitiæ, quæ per fidem est, hæres est institutus. ⁸ Fide qui vocatur Abraham obedivit in locum exire, quem accepturus erat in hæreditatem: et exiit, nesciens quo iret. ⁹ Fide demoratus est in terra repromissionis, tamquam in aliena, in casulis habitando cum Isaac et Jacob cohæredibus repromissionis ejusdem. ¹⁰ Exspectabat enim fundamenta habentem civitatem: cujus artifex et conditor Deus. ¹¹ Fide et ipsa Sara sterilis virtutem in conceptionem seminis accepit, etiam præter tempus ætatis: quoniam fidelem credidit esse eum qui repromiserat. ¹² Propter quod et ab uno orti sunt (et hoc emortuo) tamquam sidera cæli in multitudinem, et sicut arena, quæ est ad oram maris, innumerabilis. ¹³ Juxta fidem defuncti sunt omnes isti, non acceptis repromissionibus, sed a longe eas aspicientes, et salutantes, et confitentes quia peregrini et hospites sunt super terram. ¹⁴ Qui enim hæc dicunt, significant se patriam inquirere. ¹⁵ Et si quidem ipsius meminissent de qua exierunt, habebant utique tempus revertendi: ¹⁶ nunc autem meliorem appetunt, id est, cælestem.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Bi feith Abel offride a myche more sacrifice than Caym to God, bi which he gat witnessyng to be iust, for God bar witnessyng to hise yiftis; and bi that feith he deed spekith yit. ⁵ Bi feith Ennok was translatid, that he schulde not se deth; and he was not foundun, for the Lord translatide him. For bifore translacioun he hadde witnessing that he pleside God. ⁶ And it is impossible to plese God without feith. For it bihoueth that a man comynge to God, bileue that he is, and that he is rewardere to men that seken hym. ⁷ Bi feith Noe dredde, thorouy answere takun of these thingis that yit weren not seyn, and schapide a schip in to the helthe of his hous; bi which he dampnede the world, and is ordeyned eir of riytwisnesse, which is bi feith. ⁸ By feith he that is clepid Abraham, obeiede to go out in to a place, whiche he schulde take in to eritage; and he wente out, not witinge whidur he schulde go. ⁹ Bi feith he dwelte in the loond of biheest, as in an alien loond, dwellynge in litle housis with Ysaac and Jacob, euene heiris of the same biheest. ¹⁰ For he abood a citee hauynge foundementis, whos crafti man and maker is God. ¹¹ Bi feith also the ilke Sara bareyn, took vertu in consceyuyng of seed, yhe, ayen the tyme of age; for sche bileuede hym trewe, that hadde bihiyte. ¹² For which thing of oon, and yit nyy deed, ther ben borun as sterris of heuene in multitude, and as grauel that is at the see side out of noumbre. ¹³ Bi feith alle these ben deed, whanne the biheestis weren not takun, but thei bihelden hem afer, and gretynge hem wel, and knoulechide that thei weren pilgryms, and herboryd men on the erthe. ¹⁴ And thei that sayn these thingis, signifien that thei sechen a cuntre. ¹⁵ `If thei hadden hadde mynde of the ilke, of which thei wenten out, thei hadden tyme of turnyng ayen; ¹⁶ but now thei desiren a betere, that is to seie, heuenli. Therfor God is not confoundid to be clepid the God of hem; for he made redi to hem a citee. ¹⁷ Bi feith Abraham offride Ysaac, whanne he was temptid; and he offride the oon bigetun, whych had takun the biheestis; ¹⁸ to whom it was seid, For in Ysaac the seed schal be clepid to thee. ¹⁹ For he demyde, that God is myyti to reise hym, yhe, fro deth; wherfor he took hym also in to a parable. ²⁰ Bi feith also of thingis to comynge, Ysaac blesside Jacob and Esau. ²¹ Bi feith Jacob diynge blesside alle the sones of Joseph, and onouride the hiynesse of his yerde. ²² Bi feith Joseph dyynge hadde mynde of the passyng forth of the children of Israel, and comaundide of hise boonys. ²³ Bi feith Moyses borun, was hid thre monethis of his fadir and modir, for that thei seiyen the yonge child fair; and thei dredden not the maundement of the king. ²⁴ Bi feith Moises was maad greet, and denyede that he was the sone of Faraos douytir, ²⁵ and chees more to be turmentid with the puple of God, than to haue myrthe of temporal synne; ²⁶ demynge the repreef of Crist more richessis than the tresours of Egipcians; for he bihelde in to the rewarding. ²⁷ Bi feith he forsook Egipt, and dredde not the hardynesse of the king; for he abood, as seinge hym that was vnuysible. ²⁸ Bi feith he halewide pask, and the scheding out of blood, that he that distriede the firste thingis of Egipcians, schulde not touche hem. ²⁹ Bi feith thei passiden the reed see, as bi drye lond, which thing Egipcians asaiynge weren deuourid. ³⁰ Bi feith the wallis of Jerico felden doun, bi cumpassyng of seuene daies. ³¹ Bi feith Raab hoor resseyuede the aspieris with pees, and perischide not with vnbileueful men. ³² And what yit schal Y seie? For tyme schal faile to me tellynge of Gedeon, Barak, Sampson, Jepte, Dauid, and Samuel, and of othere prophetis; ³³ whiche bi feith ouercamen rewmes, wrouyten riytwisnesse, gaten repromyssiouns; thei stoppiden the mouthis of liouns, ³⁴ thei quenchiden the feersnesse of fier, thei dryueden awei the egge of swerd, thei coueriden of sijknesse, thei weren maad strong in batel, thei turneden the oostis of aliens. ³⁵ Wymmen resseyueden her deed children fro deth to lijf; but othere weren holdun forth, not takinge redempcioun, that thei schulden fynde a betere ayenrising. ³⁶ And othere asaieden scornyngis and betingis, more ouer and boondis and prisouns. ³⁷ Thei weren stoned, thei weren sawid, thei weren temptid, thei weren deed in sleyng of swerd. Thei wenten aboute in broc skynnes, and in skynnes of geet, nedi, angwischid, turmentid; ³⁸ to whiche the world was not worthi.

Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By fayth Abell offered vnto god a more plenteous sacrifice then Cayn: by which he obteyned witnes that he was righteous god testifyinge of his gyftes: by which also he beynge deed yet speaketh. ⁵ By fayth was Enoch traslated yt he shuld not se deeth: nether was he founde: for God had taken him awaye. Before he was taken awaye he was reported of that he had pleased God: ⁶ but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him. ⁷ By fayth Noe honored God after that he was warned of thinges which were not sene and prepared the arcke to the savinge of his houssholde thorowe the which arcke he condempned the worlde and became heyre of the rightewesnes which commeth by fayth. ⁸ By fayth Abraha whe he was called obeyed to goo out into a place which he shuld afterwarde receave to inheritaunce and he wet out not knowynge whether he shuld goo. ⁹ By fayth he removed into the londe yt was promysed him as into a straunge countre and dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac and Iacob heyres with him of the same promes. ¹⁰ For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacio whose bylder and maker is God. ¹¹ Thorow fayth Sara also receaved stregth to be with chylde and was delivered of a chylde when she was past age because she iudged him faythfull which had promysed. ¹² And therfore spronge therof one (and of one which was as good as deed) so many in multitude as the starres of ye skye and as the sond of the see shore which is innumerable. ¹³ And they all dyed in fayth and receaved not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of and beleved them and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe. ¹⁴ They that saye soche thinges declare that they seke a coutre. ¹⁵ Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne. ¹⁶ But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie. ¹⁷ In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac whe he was tempted and he offered him beinge his only begotten sonne which had receaved the promyses ¹⁸ of who it was sayde in Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ for he cosidered that God was able to rayse vp agayne fro deeth.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith offered Abell vnto God a more plenteous sacrifice: by the which he optayned wytnesse, that he was righteous: God testifyenge of his giftes, by the which also he beynge deed, yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith was Enoch take awaye, that he shulde not se death: and was not founde, because God had taken him awaye. For afore he was taken awaye, he had recorde that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is vnpossible to please God. For he that commeth vnto God, must beleue that God is, & yt he is a rewarder of them that seke him. ⁷ By faith Noe honoured God, after yt he was warned of thinges which were not sene, & prepared the Arke, to ye sauinge of his housholde: thorow the which Arke he condemned the worlde, and became heyre of the righteousnes, which commeth by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham (wha he was called) obeyed, to go out in to the place, which he shulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: and he wente out, not knowynge whither he shulde go. ⁹ By faith was he a straunger in the lode of promes as in a straunge countre, & dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac & Iacob, heyres with him of the same promes: ¹⁰ for he loked for a cite which hath a foundacion, whose buylder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sara also receaued strength to be with childe, and was delyuered of a childe whan she was past age, because she iudged him to be faithfull which had promysed. ¹² And therfore spronge there of one (yee euen off one which was as good as deed concernynge the body) so many in multitude as the starres off the skye, and as the sonde off the See shore, which is innumerable. ¹³ All these dyed acordinge to faith, and receaued not the promyses, but sawe the afarre off, and beleued them, and saluted them: and cofessed, that they were straungers & pilgrems vpo earth. ¹⁴ For they that saye soch thinges, declare, that they seke a naturall countre. ¹⁵ And doutles yf they had bene myndefull off that countre from whence they came out, they had leysure to haue returned agayne. ¹⁶ But now they desyre a better, that is to saye, a heauely. Wherfore God is not ashamed of the, eue to be called their God: for he hath prepared a cite for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraha offered vp Isaac, wha he was tempted, and gaue ouer his onely begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses, ¹⁸ of whom it was sayde: In Isaac shal thy sede be called: ¹⁹ For he considered, yt God was able to rayse vp agayne from the deed. Therfore receaued he him for an ensample. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concernynge thinges to come. ²¹ By faith Iacob, whan he was a dyenge, blessed both the sonnes off Ioseph, & bowed himselfe towarde the toppe of his cepter. ²² By faith Ioseph whan he dyed, remembred ye departynge of the childre of Israel, & gaue comaundemet concernynge his bones. ²³ By faith Moses wha he was borne, was hyd thre monethes of his Elders, because they sawe that he was a proper childe, nether feared they the kynges comaundemet. ²⁴ By faith Moses whan he was greate, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughter: ²⁵ and chose rather to suffre aduersite with the people of God, then to enioye ye pleasures of synne for a season: ²⁶ and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, then the treasure of Egipte: for he had respecte vnto the rewarde. ²⁷ By faith he forsoke Egipte, and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge: for he endured, eue as though he had sene him which is inuisible. ²⁸ By faith he helde Easter, and the effusion of bloude, lest he which slewe the firstborne, shulde touche them. ²⁹ By faith they passed thorow the reed See as by drye londe: which wha the Egipcians assayed to do, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walles of Iericho fell, wha they were compased aboute seuen dayes. ³¹ By faith the harlot Raab perished not with the vnbeleuers, wha she had receaued the spyes to lodginge peaceably. ³² And what shal I more saye? ye tyme wolde be to shorte for me to tell of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Samson, & of Iepthae, and of Dauid, and Samuel, and of the prophetes, ³³ which thorow faith subdued kyngdomes, wroughte righteousnes, optayned ye promyses, stopped ye mouthes of lyos ³⁴ quenched the violece of fyre, escaped ye edge of the swerde, of weake were made stronge, became valeaunt in batayll, turned to flighte the armyes of the aleauntes, ³⁵ the wemen receaued their deed agayne from resurreccion. But other were racked, and accepted no delyueraunce, that they mighte optayne the resurreccion that better is. ³⁶ Other taisted of mockinges and scourginges, of bondes also and presonment: ³⁷ were stoned, were hewen a sunder, were tempted, were slayne with the swerde, wente aboute in shepe skynnes and goates skynnes, in nede, in tribulacion, in vexacion, ³⁸ which (men) the worlde was not worthy of: they wandred aboute in wyldernesses, vpon mountaynes, in dennes and caues of the earth. ³⁹ And these all thorow faith optayned good reporte, and receaued not ye promes: ⁴⁰ because God had prouyded a better thinge for vs, that they without vs shulde not be made perfecte.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith, Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith was Enoch translated that he should not see death; neither was he found, for God had taken him away. Before he was taken away, he was reported of that he had pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: For he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah honoured God, after that he was warned of things which were not seen, and prepared the ark to the saving of his household, through the which ark he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which cometh by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out into a place which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he should go. ⁹ By faith he removed into the land that was promised him, as into a strange country, and dwelt in tabernacles: and so did Isaac, and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for a city having a foundation, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ Through faith Sarah also received strength to be with child, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised. ¹² And therefore sprang thereof one — and of one which was as good as dead — so many in multitude, as the stars of the sky, and as the sand of the sea shore which is innumerable. ¹³ And they all died in faith, and received not the promises: but saw them afar off, and believed them, and saluted them: and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ They that say such things, declare that they seek a country. ¹⁵ Also, if they had been mindful of that country, from whence they came out, they had leisure to have returned again. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is to say a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises: ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, "In Isaac shall thy seed be called." ¹⁹ For he considered that God was able to raise up again from death. Wherefore received he him, for an example of the resurrection. ²⁰ In faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, as concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself toward the top of his scepter. ²² By faith Joseph, when he died, remembered the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his father and mother, because they saw he was a proper child: neither feared they the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was of a great age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ and chose rather to suffer adversity with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, ²⁶ and esteemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, than the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect unto the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the king. For he endured, even as he had seen him which is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he ordained the Easter lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the reed sea as by dry land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to do, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about, seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with unbelievers, when she had received the spies to lodging peaceably. ³² And what shall I more say? The time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Jephthah. Also of David and Samuel, and of the prophets, ³³ which through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, of weak were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ And the women received their dead raised to life again. Others were racked, and would not be delivered, that they might receive a better resurrection. ³⁶ Others tasted of mockings, and scourgings, moreover of bonds and prisonment: ³⁷ were stoned, were hewn asunder, were tempted, were slain with swords, walked up and down in sheep skins, in goat skins, in need, tribulation, and vexation, ³⁸ which the world was not worthy of: They wandered in wilderness, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, through faith, obtained good report, and received not the promise; ⁴⁰ God providing a better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By fayth Abel offred vnto God a more plentuous sacrifyce then Cayn: by whiche he obtayned wytnes that he was ryghtuous, God testifiynge of his gyftes: by which also he beynge dead, yet speaketh. ⁵ By fayth was Enoch translated that he shoulde not se death, neyther was he founde: for God had taken hym away. Before he was taken awaye, he was reported, of, that he had pleased God: ⁶ but wythout fayth it is vnpossybleto please hym. For he that cometh to God muste beleue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seke hym. ⁷ By faythe Noe honoured God, after that he was warned of thynges whiche were not sene, and prepared the arcke to the sauynge of hys housholde, thorow the whiche arcke, he condemned the worlde, and became heyre of the rightuousnes that commeth by faythe. ⁸ By fayth Abraham, when he was called obeyed, to go out into a place, which he shoulde afterward receyue to inherytaunce, and he wente oute not knowynge whyther he should go. ⁹ By fayth he remoued into the lande that was promysed hym, as into a straunge countreye, and dwelte in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac and Iacob, heyres wyth hym of the same promes. ¹⁰ For he loked for a cytie hauing a foundacyon, whose buylder and maker is God. ¹¹ Thorow fayth Sara also receyued strength to be with chyld, and was delyuered of a child when she was past age, because she iudged hym faythfull which had promysed. ¹² And therfore spronge thereof one (& of one whiche was as good as deade) so manye in multitude, as the starres of the skye, and as the sande of the sea shore whiche is innumerable. ¹³ And they all dyed in fayth, and receyued not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of, & beleued them; and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pylgrems on the earthe. ¹⁴ They that saye suche thynges, declare that they seke a countreye. ¹⁵ Also yf they had bene myndefull of that countreye from whence they came oute, they had leasure to haue returned agayne. ¹⁶ But nowe they desyre a better, that is to saye an heauenlye. Wherfor God is not ashamed of them euen to be called theyr God: for he hath prepared for them a cytye. ¹⁷ In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered hym beynge hys onelye begotten sonne, whiche had receyued the promyses, ¹⁸ of whom it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy sede be called, ¹⁹ for he considered that God was able to rayse it vp agayne from death. Wherfore receyued he hym, for an ensample. ²⁰ In faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau concernynge thynges to come. ²¹ By fayth Iacob when he was a diynge, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, and bowed hym self towarde the top of hys cepter. ²² By fayth Ioseph when he dyed, remembred the departynge of the chyldren of Israel, and gaue commaundemente of hys bones. ²³ By faith Moses when he was borne, was hyd thre monethes of hys father and mother, because they sawe he was a proper chyld, neyther feared they the kynges commaundement. ²⁴ By fayth Moyses when he was great, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughter, ²⁵ and those rather to suffer aduersitie wyth the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of synne for a season, ²⁶ and estemed the rebuke of Christe greater ryches then the treasure of Egypte. For he had respect vnto the reward. ²⁷ By fayth he forsoke Egypte, and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured euen as he had sene hym whiche is inuysyble. ²⁸ Thorowe fayth he ordeyned the Easter Lambe and the effusyon of bloud, lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne shoulde touche them. ²⁹ By fayth they passed thorowe the redde sea, as by drye lande, whiche when the Egypcyans had assayed to do, they were drouned. ³⁰ By fayth the walles of Hierico fel doune after they were compassed about seuen dayes. ³¹ By faythe the harlot Raab peryshed not wyth the vnbeleuers, when she had receyued the spyes to lodgynge peaceably. ³² And what shall I more saye? the tyme woulde be to short for me to tell of Gedeon, of Baroch, and of Sampson, and of Iephtae: also of Dauid and Samuel, and of the Prophetes: ³³ which thorowe fayth subdued kingdomes wrought ryghtuousnes, obtayned the promyses, stopped the mouthes of Lyons, ³⁴ quenched the vyolence of fyre, escaped the edge of the swearde, of weake were made stronge, waxed valyaunte in fyght, turned to flyghte the armyes of the alientes. ³⁵ And the women receyued theyr dead raysed to lyfe agayne.

For a fore he was taken awaye, he obteyned a good reporte, that he pleased God: ⁶ but without fayth it can not be that anye man shuld please him. For he that commeth to God, must beleue that God is, & that he is a rewarder of them that seke hym. ⁷ By fayth Noe beynge warned of God, eschued the thynges which were as yet not sene, and prepared the arke to the sauynge of hys housholde, thorow the whych arke, he condempned the worlde, and became heyre of the ryghtewesnes which is accordyng to fayth. ⁸ By fayth Abraham, when he was called obeyed, to go out into a place, which he shuld afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: & he went out, not knowing whether he shuld go. ⁹ By fayth he remoued into the lande of promes, as into a straunge countre, whan he had dwelt in tabernacles: & so dyd Isaac & Iacob heyres wt hym of the same promes. ¹⁰ For he loked for a cytie hauyng a foundacyon, whose buylder and maker is God. ¹¹ Thorow fayth Sara also receaued strength to conceaue and be with chylde, and was delyuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faythful which had promysed. ¹² And therfore sprange ther of one (euen of one whych was as good as deed) so many in multitude as are the starres of the skye, & as the sond, that which is by the see shore, innumerable. ¹³ These all dyed accordinge to fayth, whan they had not receaued the promises: but sawe them a farre of, and beleued them, & saluted them, and confessed, that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe. ¹⁴ For they that saye soch thynges, declare, that they seke a countre. ¹⁵ Also yf they had bene myndfull of the countre, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned agayne: ¹⁶ but now they desyre a better (that is to saye) a heauenly. Wherfore God himselfe is not ashamed to be called theyr God for he hath prepared for them a citye. ¹⁷ By fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was proued, and he offered him beyng his only begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses. ¹⁸ And to hym it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy seed be called: ¹⁹ for he consydered, that God was able to rayse vp agayne from deeth.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And by it he being dead yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him. ⁷ By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house: by the which he condemned the world and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith. ⁸ By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised, ¹² For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. ¹³ All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth. ¹⁴ For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ (To whom it was said: In Isaac shalt thy seed be called:) ¹⁹ Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable. ²⁰ By faith also of things to come Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and adored the top of his rod. ²² By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents: because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter: ²⁵ Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time: ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he celebrated the pasch and the shedding of the blood: that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of mockeries and stripes: moreover also of bands and prisons. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted: ³⁸ Of whom the world was not worthy: wandering in deserts, in mountains and in dens and in caves of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.

4 G4102 By faith G6 Abel G4374 offered [G5656] G2316 unto God G4119 a more excellent G2378 sacrifice G3844 than G2535 Cain G1223 , by G3739 which G3140 he obtained witness [G5681] G1511 that he was [G5750] G1342 righteous G2316 , God G3140 testifying [G5723] G1909 of G846 his G1435 gifts G2532 : and G1223 by G846 it G599 he being dead [G5631] G2089 yet G2980 speaketh [G5731] [G5625] G2980 [G5719] .

5 G4102 By faith G1802 Enoch G3346 was translated [G5681] G1492 that he should G3361 not G1492 see [G5629] G2288 death G2532 ; and G2147 was G3756 not G2147 found [G5712] G1360 , because G2316 God G3346 had translated [G5656] G846 him G1063 : for G4253 before G846 his G3331 translation G3140 he had this testimony [G5769] G2100 , that he pleased [G5760] G2316 God.

6 G1161 But G5565 without G4102 faith G102 it is impossible G2100 to please [G5658] G1063 him : for G4334 he that cometh [G5740] G2316 to God G1163 must [G5748] G4100 believe [G5658] G3754 that G2076 he is [G5748] G2532 , and G1096 that he is [G5736] G3406 a rewarder G1567 of them that diligently seek [G5723] G846 him.

7 G4102 By faith G3575 Noah G5537 , being warned of God [G5685] G4012 of G3369 things not G991 seen [G5746] G3369 as yet G2125 , moved with fear [G5685] G2680 , prepared [G5656] G2787 an ark G1519 to G4991 the saving G846 of his G3624 house G1223 ; by G3739 the which G2632 he condemned [G5656] G2889 the world G2532 , and G1096 became [G5633] G2818 heir G1343 of the righteousness G2596 which is by G4102 faith.

8 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham G2564 , when he was called [G5746] G1831 to go out [G5629] G1519 into G5117 a place G3739 which G3195 he should after [G5707] G2983 receive [G5721] G1519 for G2817 an inheritance G5219 , obeyed [G5656] G2532 ; and G1831 he went out [G5627] G3361 , not G1987 knowing [G5740] G4226 whither G2064 he went [G5736] .

9 G4102 By faith G3939 he sojourned [G5656] G1519 in G1093 the land G1860 of promise G5613 , as G245 in a strange country G2730 , dwelling [G5660] G1722 in G4633 tabernacles G3326 with G2464 Isaac G2532 and G2384 Jacob G4789 , the heirs with him G846 of the same G1860 promise:

10 G1063 For G1551 he looked for [G5711] G4172 a city G2192 which hath [G5723] G2310 foundations G3739 , whose G5079 builder G2532 and G1217 maker G2316 is God.

12 G1352 Therefore G1080 sprang there [G5681] G2532 even G575 of G1520 one G2532 , and G5023 him G3499 as good as dead [G5772] G2531 , so many as G798 the stars G3772 of the sky G4128 in multitude G2532 , and G5616 as G285 the sand G3588 which G3844 is by G2281 the sea G5491 shore G382 innumerable.

13 G3778 These G3956 all G599 died [G5627] G2596 in G4102 faith G3361 , not G2983 having received [G5631] G1860 the promises G235 , but G1492 having seen [G5631] G846 them G4207 afar off G2532 , and G3982 were persuaded of [G5685] G2532 them, and G782 embraced [G5666] G2532 them, and G3670 confessed [G5660] G3754 that G1526 they were [G5748] G3581 strangers G2532 and G3927 pilgrims G1909 on G1093 the earth.

14 G1063 For G3004 they that say [G5723] G5108 such things G1718 declare plainly [G5719] G3754 that G1934 they seek [G5719] G3968 a country.

15 G2532 And G3303 truly G1487 , if G3421 they had been mindful [G5707] G1565 of that G575 country from G3739 whence G1831 they came out [G5627] G302 , they might G2192 have had [G5707] G2540 opportunity G344 to have returned [G5658] .

16 G1161 But G3570 now G3713 they desire [G5734] G2909 a better G5123 country, that is [G5748] G2032 , an heavenly G1352 : wherefore G2316 God G1870 is G3756 not G1870 ashamed [G5736] G846 G1941 to be called [G5745] G846 their G2316 God G1063 : for G2090 he hath prepared [G5656] G846 for them G4172 a city.

17 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham G3985 , when he was tried [G5746] G4374 , offered up [G5754] G2464 Isaac G2532 : and G324 he that had received [G5666] G1860 the promises G4374 offered up [G5707] G3439 his only begotten son,

18 G4314 Of G3739 whom G2980 it was said [G5681] G3754 , That G1722 in G2464 Isaac G2564 shall G4671 thy G4690 seed G2564 be called [G5701] :

19 G3049 Accounting [G5666] G3754 that G2316 God G1415 was able G1453 to raise him up [G5721] G2532 , even G1537 from G3498 the dead G3606 ; from whence G2532 also G2865 he received [G5668] G846 him G1722 in G3850 a figure.

20 G4102 By faith G2464 Isaac G2127 blessed [G5656] G2384 Jacob G2532 and G2269 Esau G4012 concerning G3195 things to come [G5723] .

21 G4102 By faith G2384 Jacob G599 , when he was a dying [G5723] G2127 , blessed [G5656] G1538 both G5207 the sons G2501 of Joseph G2532 ; and G4352 worshipped [G5656] G1909 , leaning upon G206 the top G846 of his G4464 staff.

22 G4102 By faith G2501 Joseph G5053 , when he died [G5723] G3421 , made mention [G5656] G4012 of G1841 the departing G5207 of the children G2474 of Israel G2532 ; and G1781 gave commandment [G5662] G4012 concerning G846 his G3747 bones.

23 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses G1080 , when he was born [G5685] G2928 , was hid [G5648] G5150 three months G5259 of G846 his G3962 parents G1360 , because G1492 they saw [G5627] G791 he was a proper G3813 child G2532 ; and G5399 they were G3756 not G5399 afraid [G5675] G935 of the king's G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses G1096 , when he was come [G5637] G3173 to years G720 , refused [G5662] G3004 to be called [G5745] G5207 the son G5328 of Pharaoh's G2364 daughter;

25 G138 Choosing [G5642] G3123 rather G4778 to suffer affliction [G5738] G2992 with the people G2316 of God G2228 , than G2192 to enjoy the pleasures [G5721] G619 G266 of sin G4340 for a season;

26 G2233 Esteeming G3680 the reproach G5547 of Christ G3187 greater G4149 riches G2233 than [G5666] G2344 the treasures G1722 in G125 Egypt G1063 : for G578 he had respect [G5707] G1519 unto G3405 the recompence of the reward.

27 G4102 By faith G2641 he forsook [G5627] G125 Egypt G3361 , not G5399 fearing [G5679] G2372 the wrath G935 of the king G1063 : for G2594 he endured [G5656] G5613 , as G3708 seeing [G5723] G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 Through faith G4160 he kept [G5758] G3957 the passover G2532 , and G4378 the sprinkling G129 of blood G3363 , lest G3645 he that destroyed [G5723] G4416 the firstborn G2345 should touch [G5632] G846 them.

29 G4102 By faith G1224 they passed through [G5627] G2063 the Red G2281 sea G5613 as G1223 by G3584 dry G3739 land : which G124 the Egyptians G3984 assaying G2983 to do [G5631] G2666 were drowned [G5681] .

30 G4102 By faith G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 fell down [G5627] G2944 , after they were compassed [G5685] G1909 about G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith G4204 the harlot G4460 Rahab G4881 perished [G5639] G3756 not G544 with them that believed not [G5660] G1209 , when she had received [G5666] G2685 the spies G3326 with G1515 peace.

32 G2532 And G5101 what G3004 shall I G2089 more G3004 say [G5725] G1063 ? for G5550 the time G1952 would fail [G5692] G3165 me G1334 to tell [G5740] G4012 of G1066 Gedeon G5037 , and G913 of Barak G2532 , and G4546 of Samson G2532 , and G2422 of Jephthae G1138 ; of David G2532 also G5037 , and G4545 Samuel G2532 , and G4396 of the prophets:

33 G3739 Who G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 subdued [G5662] G932 kingdoms G2038 , wrought [G5662] G1343 righteousness G2013 , obtained [G5627] G1860 promises G5420 , stopped [G5656] G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 Quenched [G5656] G1411 the violence G4442 of fire G5343 , escaped [G5627] G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword G575 , out of G769 weakness G1743 were made strong [G5681] G1096 , waxed [G5675] G2478 valiant G1722 in G4171 fight G2827 , turned to flight [G5656] G3925 the armies G245 of the aliens.

35 G1135 Women G2983 received [G5627] G846 their G3498 dead G1537 raised to life again G386 G1161 : and G243 others G5178 were tortured [G5681] G3756 , not G4327 accepting [G5666] G629 deliverance G2443 ; that G5177 they might obtain [G5632] G2909 a better G386 resurrection:

36 G1161 And G2087 others G2983 had [G5627] G3984 trial G1701 of cruel mockings G2532 and G3148 scourgings G1161 , yea G2089 , moreover G1199 of bonds G2532 and G5438 imprisonment:

37 G3034 They were stoned [G5681] G4249 , they were sawn asunder [G5681] G3985 , were tempted [G5681] G599 , were slain [G5627] G1722 with G5408 the sword G3162 G4022 : they wandered about [G5627] G1722 in G3374 sheepskins G1722 and G122 goatskins G1192 G5302 ; being destitute [G5746] G2346 , afflicted [G5746] G2558 , tormented [G5746] ;

38 G3739 (Of whom G2889 the world G2258 was [G5713] G3756 not G514 worthy G4105 :) they wandered [G5746] G1722 in G2047 deserts G2532 , and G3735 in mountains G2532 , and G4693 in dens G2532 and G3692 caves G1093 of the earth.

39 G2532 And G3778 these G3956 all G3140 , having obtained a good report [G5685] G1223 through G4102 faith G2865 , received [G5668] G3756 not G1860 the promise:

40 G2316 God G4265 having provided [G5671] G5100 some G2909 better G5100 thing G4012 for G2257 us G3363 , that G5048 they G5565 without G2257 us G5048 should G3363 not G5048 be made perfect [G5686] .

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 'Twas by faith that Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he was declared righteous, God himself having testified that he accepted his offering, and after he died for his faith, he was not silent. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he might avoid dying; and he could not be found, because God had translated him: for 'tis recorded, that before his translation he was approved by God. ⁶ now without faith it is impossible to be acceptable to him: for he that presents himself to God, cannot but believe he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who make their addresses to him. ⁷ 'Twas by faith that Noah being divinely warned of unforeseen events, with a religious concern built an ark to the preservation of his family; whereby the world became inexcusable, and he obtained the reward of that righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ 'Twas by faith that he who was named Abraham, showed his obedience in travelling to a foreign country, which he was afterwards to inherit; and began his journey without knowing where he was going. ⁹ 'twas by faith that he sojourned in a land that was promised, as in a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were equally entitled to the same promise. ¹⁰ for he had in view the city, whose foundations are sure, the architect and founder being God. ¹¹ 'Twas likewise through faith that Sara, though barren, received the power of becoming pregnant, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. ¹² so that even a single person whose vigour was gone, gave rise to a posterity as numerous as the stars of the sky, or the sands on the sea-shore, which cannot be numbred. ¹³ These all died in faith, without receiving what was promised, having only a distant view of what they eagerly expected, professing to live as strangers and pilgrims in the land. ¹⁴ for they. that make such a declaration, show plainly that they seek some other country. ¹⁵ and truly, if that had been in their view, they might have had an opportunity of returning to the place from whence they came. ¹⁶ they desired therefore a better, that is, an heavenly country: so that God is very justly stiled their God: for he had appointed a city for them. ¹⁷ 'Twas by faith that Abraham, when put to the trial, offered up Isaac: HE offered up his darling son, to whose posterity the promises were to be made good: ¹⁸ of whom it was said, "only the descendants of Isaac shall be counted your posterity:" ¹⁹ concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the grave; from whence, in a figurative sense, be may be said to have been recover'd. ²⁰ By faith Isaac predicted the future fortunes of Jacob and Esau. ²¹ by faith Jacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² by faith Joseph when he died, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave directions concerning his burial. ²³ 'Twas by faith that the parents of Moses conceal'd him for three months after his birth, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 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. ³⁵ women recovered their children, tho' dead, by their being raised to life again: some expired under torments, refusing to be delivered; that they might obtain a better deliverance at the resurrection. ³⁶ others suffer'd cruel indignities and scourgings, besides chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandred about in sheepskins, and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented: ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy) they wandred in desarts, and in mountains, having no retreat but the dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ Tho' these were all celebrated for their faith, they did not receive the reward that was promised: ⁴⁰ because God out of his distinguishing kindness to us, would not let them arrive before us to the enjoyment of perfect felicity.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 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. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before the translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. ⁷ 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. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which be should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ He sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of his promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God. ¹¹ Through faith also the barren Sara her self received strength to conceive a child, when she was past age; because she judged him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand of the sea, innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For they that say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly if they were mindful of that from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned: ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called [their] God: for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten: ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ Accounting that God was able to raise [him] up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Eau also concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith, Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw [he was] a beautiful child; and they were [[Omit] not.] not afraid of the king's commandment.[By faith Moses, when he was become great, slew the Egyptian; considering the depression of his brethren,] ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. ²⁷ By saith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born, should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red-sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I 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: ³³ Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 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. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of mockings, and scourgings, yea moreover, of bonds, and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented: ³⁸ Of whom the world was not worthy, they wandered in deserts, and mountains, and dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it, being dead he yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶ 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. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his houshold, by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, obeyed and went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for the city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah also herself received power to conceive seed, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as it were dead, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand which is on the sea-shore innumerable. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced them, and confest that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For they who speak thus, shew plainly, that they seek their own country. ¹⁵ And truly if they had been mindful of that from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But they now desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac, and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son: ¹⁸ Of whom it had been said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ Accounting that God was able even to raise him from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come. ²¹ By Faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months, by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he looked off unto the recompence of reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing him that is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed thro' the Red Sea, as by dry land, which the Egyptians trying to do, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho, having been compassed seven days, fell down. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with them that believed not, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me, to tell of Gideon, and Barak, and Sampson, and Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ Who by faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness was made strong, became valiant in fight, put to flight armies of the aliens; Women received their dead raised to life again: ³⁵ others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, in goat-skins, destitute, afflicted, tormented: ³⁸ (Of whom the world was not worthy) they wandered in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And all these having obtained a good testimony thro' faith, ⁴⁰ did not receive the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that they might not be perfected without us.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts: and by it, though dead, he yet speaketh. ⁵ 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: ⁶ whereas without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe, that He is, and is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. ⁷ By faith Noah being warned by God of things which were not yet seen, moved with pious fear, prepared an ark for the safety of his family; whereby he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham when called to go out to a place which he was afterwards to receive for an inheritance obeyed: and went out, though he knew not whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land promised him, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob the heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose maker and founder is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah received strength to conceive seed, and brought forth a son when she was past age, because she accounted Him faithful who had promised. ¹² So that there descended even from one, and him in a manner dead, a posterity like the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand on the sea shore, innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but seen them from afar, and been persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ Now they that say such things shew plainly that they are seeking their own country: ¹⁵ and if they had been mindful of that from which they came, they might have had opportunity to have returned. ¹⁶ But they desire a better, that is, an heavenly one; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he who had received the promises, offered up his only son; ¹⁸ of whom it was told him, that in Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ concluding that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence indeed he had in a manner received him. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things future. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph when he died, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave a charge concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a fine child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 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 have the temporary enjoyment of sin: ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the recompence of reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he continued firm as seeing Him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he observed the passover and sprinkling of the blood, that he, who destroyed the first-born of the Egyptians, might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red-sea, as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what need I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and Barak, and Sampson, and Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and of the prophets: ³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made powerful, became strong in battle, and turned to flight the armies of their enemies. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again; and others were tortured to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had the trial of mockings and scourgings, and of bonds too and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain by the sword: they went about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, ³⁸ distressed, (of whom the world was not worthy) wandering in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, though they obtained an honorable testimony by faith, yet received not the promise; ⁴⁰ God having provided something better concerning us, that without us they might not be made perfect.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a sacrifice of more excellence than Cain, by which he received a testimony that he was a righteous man, God bearing witness upon his gifts: and by this, though dead, he still speaketh. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he was recorded to have been acceptable to God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely warned respecting things not yet seen, filled with reverential awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, called to go forth unto a place which he should in future obtain as an heritage, obeyed; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he expected a city having foundations, of which God is the planner and architect. ¹¹ By faith also that very Sarah, who was barren, received ability for the conception of seed, and past the usual time of life brought forth a child, because she accounted that he who promised it, would be true to his promise. ¹² Wherefore even from one person, and he become dead in respect to these matters, there sprang a race, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand, which is on the shore of the sea, innumerable. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them at a great distance, though believing and embracing them, and confessing that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. ¹⁴ Now they who speak thus, shew evidently that they are in earnest search of their native country. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had fixed their minds on that from whence they had gone forth, they might have had opportunity to go back to it again. ¹⁶ But now their longing desires are after a better country, that is, the heavenly one: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son, ¹⁸ unto whom it had been said, "That by Isaac shall there be a seed bearing thy name:" ¹⁹ reasoning that God was able to raise him up again, even from the dead; from whence also figuratively he had received him. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau with regard to future things. ²¹ By faith, dying Jacob blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed down in adoration upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, approaching his end, made mention of the children of Israel's departure thence; and gave a charge respecting his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, after he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child singularly beautiful; and they were not intimidated by the command of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not intimidated by the wrath of the king: for he boldly persisted, as seeing the invisible [Jehovah]. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea, as on dry ground; which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after being circled round seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with those who were infidels, having received the spies in peace. ³² And what more shall I say: for the time would fail me if I should make a narration concerning Gideon, and Barac, and Sampson, and Jephtha, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ who by faith vanquished kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ extinguished the force of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, they were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in battle, routed the armies of aliens. ³⁵ Women received by a resurrection their dead: but others were tortured, not accepting a release; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ and others had trials of mockeries and whippings, yea and farther of chains and imprisonment: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they experienced the severest trials, they were slain by the edge of the sword: they went about wrapped in skins of sheep and goats, destitute of all things, pressed down with afflictions, suffering all kind of misery; ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered up and down in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens, and caverns of the earth. ³⁹ And these all though having obtained a testimony by faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God having provided for us something better, that without us they should not attain to perfection.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain; by means of which he received a testimonial of being righteous, God himself giving a testimony in favour of his gifts; and by it he, though dead, still speaketh. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he received this testimonial that he was well pleasing to God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing; for he who cometh to God must believe that he existeth, and that he is the rewarder of them who diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, when warned of unforeseen events, with a religious concern prepared an ark for the saving of his household; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of that righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, shewed obedience by going to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and set out on his journey not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange land, and dwelt in tents with Isaak and Jacob, who were coheirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he expected that city which hath foundations, whose architect and founder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah also received strength for conception, and was delivered of a son when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore there sprang even from one, and him dead as to these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven for multitude, and like the sand on the sea shore which is innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, but they viewed them at a distance, and were persuaded of, and embraced them, and acknowledged that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. ¹⁴ For they who speak thus shew plainly that they are seeking their father's country: ¹⁵ Now had these been mindful of that from which they came out, they might have had an opportunity of returning thither: ¹⁶ but now they desire a better; that is a heavenly country; therefore God is not ashamed of them; to be invoked as their God: for he prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was put to the trial, offered up Isaak. Though he had received the promises he offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ in respect to whom it had been said, that "in Isaak a seed shall be called for thee," ¹⁹ reckoning that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which in a figurative sense, he had received him. ²⁰ By faith respecting things to come Isaak blessed Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when a dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons and worshipped, bowing upon the head of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, at the close of his life, made mention of the departure of the Israelites, and gave a charge concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born was concealed three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a comely child, and they were not terrified by the king's edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ chusing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ accounting the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had an eye to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt in defiance of the king's wrath; for he persevered as seeing Him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he celebrated the passover, and the pouring out of the blood, that the destroyer of the first born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the red sea as on dry ground, which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, when processions had been made around them, for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with the unbelievers, she having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to speak of Gideon, and Barak, and Sampson, and Jephthae of David and Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were strengthened from weakness, became mighty in battle, repelled armies of aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead children, by a restoration of them to life. As for others, some were tortured, not expecting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others received the trial of mockings, and scourgings, besides bonds and imprisonments. ³⁷ They were stoned; they were sawn asunder; they were tempted; they were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheep skins, in goats skins, destitute, afflicted, tormented, ³⁸ [of whom the world was not worthy] wandering in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth. ³⁹ Though these all received a testimonial by means of their belief, they did not obtain the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided something better for us, that without us they should not be made perfect.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. ⁵ 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. ⁶ 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. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to remove into a place which he should afterwards receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ Through faith also Sarah 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. ¹² Therefore there sprang even from 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. 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. ¹⁴ For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only-begotten son, ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ Accounting that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, as she had received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: ³³ Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; ³⁸ (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

4 G4102 By faith G6 Abel G4374 [G5656] offered G2316 to God G4119 a more excellent G2378 sacrifice G3844 than G2535 Cain G1223 , by G3739 which G3140 [G5681] he obtained the testimony G1511 [G5750] that he was G1342 righteous G2316 , God G3140 [G5723] testifying G1909 of G846 his G1435 gifts G2532 : and G1223 by G846 it G599 [G5631] he being dead G2089 yet G2980 G2980 [G5731] speaketh.

5 G4102 By faith G1802 Enoch G3346 [G5681] was translated G1492 0 that he should G3361 not G1492 [G5629] see G2288 death G2532 ; and G2147 0 was G3756 not G2147 [G5712] found G1360 , because G2316 God G3346 [G5656] had translated G846 him G1063 : for G4253 before G846 his G3331 translation G3140 [G5769] he had this testimony G2100 [G5760] , that he pleased G2316 God.

6 G1161 But G5565 without G4102 faith G102 it is impossible G2100 [G5658] to please G1063 him: for G4334 [G5740] he that cometh G2316 to God G1163 [G5748] must G4100 [G5658] believe G3754 that G2076 [G5748] he is G2532 , and G1096 [G5736] that he is G3406 a rewarder G1567 [G5723] of them that diligently seek G846 him.

7 G4102 By faith G3575 Noah G5537 [G5685] , being warned by God G4012 of G3369 0 things not G991 [G5746] seen G3369 as yet G2125 [G5685] , moved with fear G2680 [G5656] , prepared G2787 an ark G1519 to G4991 the saving G846 of his G3624 house G1223 ; by G3739 which G2632 [G5656] he condemned G2889 the world G2532 , and G1096 [G5633] became G2818 heir G1343 of the righteousness G2596 which is by G4102 faith.

8 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham G2564 [G5746] , when he was called G1831 [G5629] to move G1519 into G5117 a place G3739 which G3195 [G5707] he should later G2983 [G5721] receive G1519 for G2817 an inheritance G5219 [G5656] , obeyed G2532 ; and G1831 [G5627] he went out G3361 , not G1987 [G5740] knowing G4226 where G2064 [G5736] he was going.

9 G4102 By faith G3939 [G5656] he sojourned G1519 in G1093 the land G1860 of promise G5613 , as G245 in a foreign country G2730 [G5660] , dwelling G1722 in G4633 tents G3326 with G2464 Isaac G2532 and G2384 Jacob G4789 , the heirs with him G846 of the same G1860 promise:

10 G1063 For G1551 [G5711] he looked for G4172 a city G2192 [G5723] which hath G2310 foundations G3739 , whose G5079 builder G2532 and G1217 maker G2316 is God.

11 G4102 Through faith G2532 also G4564 Sarah G846 herself G2983 [G5627] received G1411 strength G1519 to G2602 conceive G4690 seed G2532 , and G5088 [G5627] was delivered of a child G3844 when she was past G2540 G2244 age G1893 , because G2233 [G5662] she judged G4103 him faithful G1861 [G5666] who had promised.

12 G1352 Therefore G1080 [G5681] there sprang G2532 even G575 from G1520 one G2532 , and G5023 him G3499 [G5772] as good as dead G2531 , so many as G798 the stars G3772 of the sky G4128 in multitude G2532 , and G5616 as G285 the sand G3588 which G3844 is by G2281 the sea G5491 shore G382 innumerable.

13 G3778 These G3956 all G599 [G5627] died G2596 in G4102 faith G3361 , not G2983 [G5631] having received G1860 the promises G235 , but G1492 [G5631] having seen G846 them G4207 afar off G2532 , and G3982 [G5685] were persuaded of G2532 them, and G782 [G5666] embraced G2532 them, and G3670 [G5660] confessed G3754 that G1526 [G5748] they were G3581 strangers G2532 and G3927 pilgrims G1909 on G1093 the earth.

14 G1063 For G3004 [G5723] they that say G5108 such things G1718 [G5719] declare plainly G3754 that G1934 [G5719] they seek G3968 a country.

15 G2532 And G3303 truly G1487 , if G3421 [G5707] they had been mindful G1565 of that G575 country from G3739 which G1831 [G5627] they came G302 , they might G2192 [G5707] have had G2540 opportunity G344 [G5658] to return.

16 G1161 But G3570 now G3713 [G5734] they desire G2909 a better G5123 [G5748] country, that is G2032 , an heavenly G1352 : therefore G2316 God G1870 0 is G3756 not G1870 G846 [G5736] ashamed G1941 [G5745] to be called G846 their G2316 God G1063 : for G2090 [G5656] he hath prepared G846 for them G4172 a city.

17 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham G3985 [G5746] , when he was tried G4374 [G5754] , offered up G2464 Isaac G2532 : and G324 [G5666] he that had received G1860 the promises G4374 [G5707] offered up G3439 his only begotten son,

18 G4314 Of G3739 whom G2980 [G5681] it was said G3754 , That G1722 in G2464 Isaac G2564 0 shall G4671 thy G4690 seed G2564 [G5701] be called:

19 G3049 [G5666] Accounting G3754 that G2316 God G1415 was able G1453 [G5721] to raise him up G2532 , even G1537 from G3498 the dead G3606 ; from which G2532 also G2865 [G5668] he received G846 him G1722 in G3850 a figure.

20 G4102 By faith G2464 Isaac G2127 [G5656] blessed G2384 Jacob G2532 and G2269 Esau G4012 concerning G3195 [G5723] things to come.

21 G4102 By faith G2384 Jacob G599 [G5723] , when he was dying G2127 [G5656] , blessed G1538 both G5207 the sons G2501 of Joseph G2532 ; and G4352 [G5656] worshipped G1909 , leaning upon G206 the top G846 of his G4464 staff.

22 G4102 By faith G2501 Joseph G5053 [G5723] , when he died G3421 [G5656] , made mention G4012 of G1841 the departing G5207 of the children G2474 of Israel G2532 ; and G1781 [G5662] gave commandment G4012 concerning G846 his G3747 bones.

23 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses G1080 [G5685] , when he was born G2928 [G5648] , was hid G5150 three months G5259 by G846 his G3962 parents G1360 , because G1492 [G5627] they saw G791 he was a beautiful G3813 child G2532 ; and G5399 0 they were G3756 not G5399 [G5675] afraid G935 of the king's G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses G1096 [G5637] , when he had come G3173 to years G720 [G5662] , refused G3004 [G5745] to be called G5207 the son G5328 of Pharaoh's G2364 daughter;

25 G138 [G5642] Choosing G3123 rather G4778 [G5738] to suffer affliction G2992 with the people G2316 of God G2228 , than G2192 G619 [G5721] to enjoy the pleasures G266 of sin G4340 for a season;

26 G2233 0 Esteeming G3680 the reproach G5547 of Christ G3187 greater G4149 riches G2233 [G5666] than G2344 the treasures G1722 of G125 Egypt G1063 : for G578 [G5707] he had respect G1519 to G3405 the recompence of the reward.

27 G4102 By faith G2641 [G5627] he forsook G125 Egypt G3361 , not G5399 [G5679] fearing G2372 the wrath G935 of the king G1063 : for G2594 [G5656] he endured G5613 , as G3708 [G5723] seeing G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 Through faith G4160 [G5758] he kept G3957 the passover G2532 , and G4378 the sprinkling G129 of blood G3363 , lest G3645 [G5723] he that destroyed G4416 the firstborn G2345 [G5632] should touch G846 them.

29 G4102 By faith G1224 [G5627] they passed through G2063 the Red G2281 sea G5613 as G1223 by G3584 dry G3739 land: which G124 the Egyptians G3984 trying G2983 [G5631] to do G2666 [G5681] were drowned.

30 G4102 By faith G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 [G5627] fell down G2944 [G5685] , after they had been encircled G1909 for G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith G4204 the harlot G4460 Rahab G4881 [G5639] perished G3756 not G544 [G5660] with them that believed not G1209 [G5666] , after she had received G2685 the spies G3326 with G1515 peace.

32 G2532 And G5101 what G2089 more G3004 [G5725] shall I say G1063 ? for G5550 the time G1952 [G5692] would fail G3165 me G1334 [G5740] to tell G4012 of G1066 Gideon G5037 , and G913 of Barak G2532 , and G4546 of Samson G2532 , and G2422 of Jephthah G1138 ; of David G2532 also G5037 , and G4545 Samuel G2532 , and G4396 of the prophets:

33 G3739 Who G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 [G5662] subdued G932 kingdoms G2038 [G5662] , wrought G1343 righteousness G2013 [G5627] , obtained G1860 promises G5420 [G5656] , stopped G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 [G5656] Quenched G1411 the violence G4442 of fire G5343 [G5627] , escaped G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword G575 , out of G769 weakness G1743 [G5681] were made strong G1096 [G5675] , became G2478 valiant G1722 in G4171 fight G2827 [G5656] , turned to flight G3925 the armies G245 of the aliens.

35 G1135 Women G2983 [G5627] received G846 their G3498 dead G1537 G386 raised to life again G1161 : and G243 others G5178 [G5681] were tortured G3756 , not G4327 [G5666] accepting G629 deliverance G2443 ; that G5177 [G5632] they might obtain G2909 a better G386 resurrection:

36 G1161 And G2087 others G2983 [G5627] had G3984 trial G1701 of cruel mockings G2532 and G3148 scourgings G1161 , and G2089 , moreover G1199 of bonds G2532 and G5438 imprisonment:

37 G3034 [G5681] They were stoned G4249 [G5681] , they were sawn asunder G3985 [G5681] , were tempted G599 [G5627] , were slain G1722 with G5408 G3162 the sword G4022 [G5627] : they wandered about G1722 in G3374 sheepskins G1722 and G122 G1192 goatskins G5302 [G5746] ; being destitute G2346 [G5746] , afflicted G2558 [G5746] , tormented;

38 G3739 (Of whom G2889 the world G2258 [G5713] was G3756 not G514 worthy G4105 [G5746] :) they wandered G1722 in G2047 deserts G2532 , and G3735 in mountains G2532 , and G4693 in dens G2532 and G3692 caves G1093 of the earth.

39 G2532 And G3778 these G3956 all G3140 [G5685] , having obtained a good report G1223 through G4102 faith G2865 [G5668] , received G3756 not G1860 the promise:

40 G2316 God G4265 [G5671] having provided G5100 0 some G2909 better G5100 thing G4012 for G2257 us G3363 0 , that G5048 0 they G5565 without G2257 us G5048 0 should G3363 not G5048 [G5686] be made perfect.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, on account of which he was commended as righteous; God testifying in favor of his oblations: and so, by it, though dead he still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, that he might not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him; for, before his translation, it was testified that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he who comes to God, must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them who diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith, Noah, when he received a revelation concerning things not yet seen, being seized with religious fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith, Abraham, when called to go out into a place which he should afterward receive as an inheritance, obeyed, and went out, not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint heirs of the same promise: ¹⁰ for he expected the city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith, also, Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth, when past the time of life; because she judged him faithful who had promised. ¹² And, therefore, there sprang from one who was dead, in this respect, a race, as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is on the sea-shore, innumerable. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises. For, seeing the things promised, afar off, and embracing them, they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims in the land. ¹⁴ Now they who speak such things, plainly declare that they earnestly seek a country. ¹⁵ For truly, if they had remembered that from which they came out, they might have had an opportunity to return it. ¹⁶ But, indeed, they strongly desired a better country; that is, a heavenly. Therefore, God is not ashamed of them-to be called their God; because he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith, Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten, ¹⁸ concerning whom it was said, that "In Isaac shall thy seed be called"; ¹⁹ reasoning that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence, indeed, he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, with respect to things to come. ²¹ By faith, Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, bowing on the top of his staff. ²² By faith, Joseph, when dying, made mention concerning the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith, Moses, when born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and were not afraid of the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith, Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God, than to have the temporary fruition of sin, ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked forward to the retribution. ²⁷ By faith, he left Egypt, not being afraid of the wrath of the king. For he courageously persevered, as perceiving the invisible God. ²⁸ By faith, he appointed the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood; that he who destroyed the first-born, might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith, Rahab, the harlot, was not destroyed with the unbelievers, having received the spies in peace. ³² And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me, to speak of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jepthah, and David, also, and Samuel, and the prophets- ³³ who, through faith, subdued kingdom, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the strength of fire, escaped the edges of the sword, grew strong from sickness, became valiant in battle, overturned the camps of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of mockings and scourgings; and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they died by the slaughter of the sword, they went about in sheep skins, and in goat skins, being destitute, afflicted, maltreated; ³⁸ of these the world was not worthy: they wandered in deserts, and mountains, and in caves, and holes of the earth. ³⁹ Now, all these, though commanded on account of faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided something better for us, that they, without us, should not be made perfect.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Habel offered a sacrifice which was far better than that of Koen unto Aloha; and because of it there is respecting him a testimony that he was righteous; and Aloha gave witness concerning his oblation; and on account thereof also while dead he is speaking. ⁵ Through faith Hanak was translated,[Or, changed.] and did not taste death; nor was he found, because Aloha had translated him: for before that he would translate him, there was respecting him the testimony that he pleased Aloha. ⁶ But without faith it is not possible for man to please Aloha; for he who draweth near unto Aloha must believe that he is, and that of those who seek him he will be the rewarder. ⁷ By faith Nuch, when spoken with upon those things which had not been seen, feared, and made him the ark for the salvation of his family; [The sons of his house.] by which he condemned the world, and was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ BY faith Abraham, when he was called, heard that he was to go forth to a place which he should receive for an inheritance; and he went out, while he knew not whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he was a sojourner in the land that was promised to him, as in an alien state, and dwelt in tabernacles with Ishok and Jakub, sons of the inheritance which was his by the promise: ¹⁰ for he was expecting the city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Aloha. ¹¹ By faith Saro, who was barren, received strength to conceive seed, and, which (thing) was not in the time of her years, gave birth (to a son); because she was sure that he who had promised to her was faithful. ¹² Therefore from one who had failed from old age, were there begotten multitudes as the stars of heaven, and as the sand upon the shores of the sea, which have no number. ¹³ In faith died these all, not having gotten their promise, but from afar had beheld it, and exulted in it, and confessed that strangers they were, and sojourners in the earth. ¹⁴ For they who these things say, make manifest that their city they are seeking. ¹⁵ But if that city from which they had gone out they desired, they had opportunity to return and go to it. ¹⁶ But now it is known that a better (one) than that they desired; that (namely) which is in heaven. Wherefore Aloha was not ashamed their God to be called; for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham offered Ishok in his temptation and his only-born he lifted upon the altar, even him whom he had received by the promise: ¹⁸ for it had been said to him, In Ishok shall be called to thee the seed. ¹⁹ For he thought within himself, that Aloha could* even from the dead upraise [him]: and on account of this in a similitude he was given to him.[* Lit. that power was in the hand of Aloha to upraise.] ²⁰ By faith in that which was to come, Ishok blessed Jakub and Isu. ²¹ By faith, when dying, Jakub blessed each of the sons of Jauseph; and worshipped upon the head of his staff. ²² By faith Jauseph, when dying, was mindful of the going forth of the sons of Israel,[The B'nai-Isroel.] and commanded concerning his bones. ²³ BY faith the parents of Musha concealed him when he had been born three months, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they feared not the edict of the king. ²⁴ By faith Musha, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pherun; ²⁵ and chose to himself to be in affliction with the people of Aloha, and not for a little time to delight (himself) in sin; ²⁶ and considered the riches of the reproach of Meshiha to be far greater than the treasures of Metsreen: for he contemplated the recompence of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Metsreen, and feared not the wrath of the king; and hoped, as one who beheld Aloha who is the invisible. ²⁸ By faith they performed the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he might not come near, - he, who was destroying the first-born. ²⁹ By faith they traversed the sea of Sooph, as those who (march) upon dry land; but the Metsroyee were swallowed up in it, when they had dared to enter it. ³⁰ By faith the ramparts of Jirichu fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith Rachob the harlot perished not with those who would not hearken, because she had received the explorers in peace. ³² WHAT shall I yet say? for (too) brief is the time for me to tell of Gedhun, and of Borok, and of Shemshun, and of Nephtoch, and of David, and of Shomuel, and of the rest of the prophets; ³³ they who through faith conquered kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ and quenched the powers of fire, and were delivered from the edge [Mouth of the sword.] of the sword, and were made strong from infirmities, and became valiant in battle, and overthrew the camps of the adversaries. ³⁵ And they gave unto women their sons by the resurrection of the dead; and others in torments died, nor hoped to be delivered, that the better resurrection they might have. ³⁶ But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up, ³⁷ others were stoned, others divided, others died by the edge of the sword, others wandered about clothed with skins of sheep and of goats, necessitous, afflicted, and driven out. ³⁸ Men, of whom the world was not worthy, became as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in dens, and in caverns of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, of whom there hath been (such) a testimony concerning their faith, received not the promise; ⁴⁰ because Aloha had afore contemplated for our help, that without us they should not be made perfect.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith, Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than that of Cain; and on account of it, he is testified of that he was righteous, and God bore testimony to his offering; and in consequence thereof, though dead he yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith, Enoch was translated, and did not taste death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for, before he translated him, there was testimony of him, that he pleased God. ⁶ But, without faith, a man cannot please God. For he that draweth near to God, must believe his existence, and that he will recompense those who seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, when he was told of things not seen, feared; and he made himself an ark, for the life of his household; whereby he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed, and departed to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance: and he departed, while he knew not whither he was going. ⁹ By faith, he became a resident in the land that was promised him, as in a foreign land; and abode in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for the city that hath a foundation, of which the builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith, Sarah also, who was barren, acquired energy to receive seed; and, out of the time of her years, she brought forth; because she firmly believed, that he was faithful who had promised her. ¹² Therefore, from one man failing through age, numbers were born, like the stars in the heavens, and like the sand on the shore of the sea which is innumerable. ¹³ All these died in faith, and received not their promise; but they saw it afar off, and rejoiced in it; and they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ Now they who say thus, show that they seek a city. ¹⁵ But if they had been seeking that city from which they came out, they had opportunity to return again and go to it. ¹⁶ But now it is manifest that they longed for a better city than that, namely, for that which is in heaven. Therefore God did not refuse to be called their God; for he prepared for them the city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, in his trial, offered up Isaac; and he laid on the altar his only son, whom he had received by promise. ¹⁸ For it had been said to him, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. ¹⁹ And he reasoned with himself, that God was able even to raise him from the dead: and therefore, in the similitude of a resurrection, he was restored to him. ²⁰ By faith in what was to be, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when dying, was mindful of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave direction concerning his bones. ²³ By faith the parents of Moses, after he was born, hid him three months; because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not deterred by the command of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when be became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. ²⁵ And he chose to be in affliction with the people of God, and not to live luxuriously in sin for a short season: ²⁶ and he esteemed the reproach of the Messiah a greater treasure than the hoarded riches of Egypt; for he looked upon the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith, he left Egypt, and was not terrified by the wrath of the king; and he continued to hope, just as if he saw the invisible God. ²⁸ By faith, they kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not approach them. ²⁹ By faith, they passed the Red Sea, as on dry land; and in it the Egyptians were swallowed up, when they dared to enter it. ³⁰ By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, when they had been encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab, the harlot, perished not with them who believed not, when she received the spies in peace. ³² What more shall I say? For I have little time to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Sampson, and of Jephtha, and of David, and of Samuel, and of the other prophets: ³³ who, by faith, subdued kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ and quenched the force of fire, and were rescued from the edge of the sword, and were healed of diseases, and became strong in battle, and routed the camps of enemies, ³⁵ and restored to women their children, by a resurrection from the dead. And some died under tortures, and did not hope to escape, that there might be for them a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others endured mockings and, scourgings; others were delivered up to bonds and prisons; ³⁷ others were stoned; others were sawed; others died by the edge of the sword; others roamed about clothed in sheep skins and goat skins, and were needy, and afflicted, and agitated; ³⁸ persons of whom the world was not worthy, and yet they were as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in caves, and in caverns of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, of whose faith there is testimony, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ because God had provided the aid for us; so that without us they should not be perfected.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, through which he was declared to be righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and through the same, having died, he speaks still. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated without seeing death, and was not found because God translated him. For before the translation he was said to have pleased God; ⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please; for he that comes to God, must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those that seek him. ⁷ ^(4:5) By faith Noah having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, fearing built the ark for the salvation of his house, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness by faith. ⁸ ^(4:6) By faith Abraham being called obeyed and went out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he resided temporarily in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received power to become a mother, even beyond the usual age, because she regarded him faithful that promised. ¹² Wherefore also there were born of one, and those of one dead, [a posterity] like the stars of heaven for multitude, and like the sands on the sea-shore innumerable. ¹³ ^(4:7) All these died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen and saluted them from a distance, and having professed that they were foreigners and strangers on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things show that they seek a native country. ¹⁵ And if they had remembered that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they seek a better, that is a heavenly [country]. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ ^(4:8) By faith Abraham when tried offered Isaac, and he that received the promises offered his only son, ¹⁸ of whom it was said, In Isaac shall your posterity be called, ¹⁹ judging that God was able to raise even from the dead; whence also in a figure he received him. ²⁰ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in respect to things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph at the close of life made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel and gave charge concerning his bones. ²³ ^(4:9) By faith Moses when he was born was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they feared not the command of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses when he became a man refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a time, ²⁶ judging the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the displeasure of the king; for he endured as seeing him that is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he observed the passover and the pouring out of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down when they had been surrounded seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot escaped destruction with the disobedient, having received the spies in peace. ³² ^(4:10) And why should I say more? For time would fail me to relate of Gideon and Barak, and Sampson and Jepthah, and David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who by faith subdued kingdoms, performed righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ extinguished the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight encampments of foreigners; ³⁵ women received their dead from a resurrection, others were tortured having not accepted redemption, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others had trial of mockings and scourges, and besides of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were cut to pieces with saws, they were tried, they died with the death of the sword, they wandered about in sheep-skins and goat-skins, destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains, and in caves and openings of the earth. ³⁹ And none of these who became martyrs through faith received the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided something better for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ In faith more sacrifice Abel than Cain offered to the God, through which he was attested to be righteous, testifying on the gifts of him of the God; and through her having died yet speaks. ⁵ In faith Enoch was translated, of the not to see death; and not he was found, because translated him the God; before for the translation of him he had obtained testimony to have well pleased the God. ⁶ Without but faith impossible to have pleased; to believe for it is necessary the one coming near to the God, because he is, and to those seeking him a rewarder he becomes. ⁷ In faith being divinely Noah concerning the not yet things being seen, having been piously afraid built an ark for a preservation of the house of himself; through which he condemned the world, and of the according to faith righteousness became an heir. ⁸ In faith being called Abraham was obedient to go forth into the place, which he was about to receive for an inheritances, and he went forth, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ In faith he sojourned in the land of the promise as a stranger, in tents having dwelt, with Isaac and Jacob of the joint-heirs of the promise of the same; ¹⁰ was waiting for that the foundations having city, of which a designer and architect the God; ¹¹ In faith also herself Sarah power for a laying down of seed received, even beyond a proper time of life, since faithful she regarded the one promising. ¹² Therefore even from one were born, and these things having been dead, like the stars of the heaven for the multitude, and like the sand that by the shore of the sea the innumerable, ¹³ In faith died these all, not having received the promises, but far distant them having seen and having saluted, and having confessed, that strangers and sojourners they are on the earth. ¹⁴ Those for such things saying make known that a country they seek. ¹⁵ And if indeed that they remembered from which they came forth, they would have had a season to have returned; ¹⁶ now but a better they long after, this is, heavenly. Therefore not is ashamed of them the God, a God to be called of them; he prepared for for them a city. ¹⁷ In faith offered up Abraham the Isaac being tried, and the only-begotten was offering up he the promise having received, ¹⁸ to whom it was said: That in Isaac shall be called to thee a seed; ¹⁹ inferring, that even out of dead ones to raise up is able the God; whence him also in a similitude he recovered. ²⁰ In faith concerning things being to come blessed Isaac the Jacob and the Esau. ²¹ In faith Jacob dying each of the sons of Joseph blessed; and bowed down on the top of the staff of himself. ²² In faith Joseph ending concerning the going out of the sons of Israel reminded, and concerning the bones of himself gave charge. ²³ In faith Moses being born was hidden three months by the parents of himself, because they saw beautiful the babe; and not they did fear the mandate of the king. ²⁴ In faith Moses great having become refused to be called a son of a daughter of Pharaoh, ²⁵ rather choosing to suffer evil with the people of the God, than for a season to have of sin enjoyment; ²⁶ greater wealth having regarded of the Egypt treasures the reproach of the Anointed; he looked away for towards the reward. ²⁷ In faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; the for unseen one as seeing he was strong. ²⁸ In faith he has made the passover and the pouring on of the blood, so that not the one destroying the first-borns, might touch of them. ²⁹ In faith they passed through the red sea as through a dry place; which a trial attempting the Egyptians, were swallowed up. ³⁰ In faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encompassed for seven days. ³¹ In faith Rahab the harlot not was destroyed with those unbelieving, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what further may I say? Will fail for me relating the time concerning Gideon, Barak also and Samson, and Jepthah, David also and Samuel, and the prophets; ³³ who by means of faith subdued kingdoms, performed righteousness, obtained promises, closed up, mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched power of fire, escaped mouths of sword, were made strong from weakness, became mighty ones in war, camps overturned of foreigners; ³⁵ received women from a resurrection the dead ones of themselves; others but were beaten to death, not having accepted the redemption, so that a better resurrection they might obtain. ³⁶ Others but of mockings and of scourges a trial received, further but of bonds and of imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn a sunder, they were tempted, by slaughter of sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goat skins, being in want, being afflicted, being ill-treated, ³⁸ (of whom not was worthy the world,) in deserts wandering and in mountains, and in caves and in the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And these all having been attested by means of the faith, not did obtain the promise, ⁴⁰ the God concerning us a better thing having foreseen, so that not apart from us they might be made perfect.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it, being dead, he yet speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation, he has had the testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ But 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 to those who seek after him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham when called obeyed, to go forth into a place which he should afterward receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive seed, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised. ¹² Wherefore also there sprang from one, and him become as dead, even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For they that say such things declare plainly, that they are seeking a country. ¹⁵ And if indeed, they had in mind that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, has offered up Isaac; and he who had accepted the promises offered up his only begotten, ¹⁸ of whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called; ¹⁹ accounting that God is able even to raise from the dead; whence he also received him back in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and he worshiped, [leaning] on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair; and they feared not the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called son of a daughter of Pharaoh; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked for the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he has kept the passover, and the affusion of the blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land; which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after they had been encompassed during seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who believed not, after having received the spies with peace. ³² And why say I more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak and Samson and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets; ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead, by resurrection to life; and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of mockings, and scourgings, and, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword; they went about in sheep-skins and goats' skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented; ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the clefts of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise; ⁴⁰ God having provided something better concerning us, that they should not without us be made perfect.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God more sacrifice than Cain; on account of which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he, though dead, yet speaks. ⁵ 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 the testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, after being warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which faith he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go out into a place that he should afterward receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ¹⁰ for he looked for a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. ¹⁴ For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up, ¹⁸ of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called: ¹⁹ for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses was concealed by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child: and they feared not the command of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach on account of the Christ as greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he earnestly looked to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover, and the affusion of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after the people had gone around them for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rabab the harlot perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies with peace. ³² And what further shall I say? For the time would fail me, were I to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel, and of the prophets, ³³ who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched 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. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were beat to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ others had trial of mockings and scourgings, bonds also, and imprisonments. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in. sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, oppressed with evils, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and in caverns, and in dens of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having obtained a good reputation by faith, received not the promise, ⁴⁰ because God had provided some better thing for us, that they, without us, should not be made perfect.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ 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 those who diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth to a place which he was afterward to receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he was looking for the city which hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God. ¹¹ Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised. ¹² Wherefore there sprang even from one, and him become as dead, a race like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand by the seashore which cannot be numbered. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For they who say such things show plainly that they are seeking a country. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his onlybegotten son, ¹⁸ he to whom it was said, "From Isaac shall thine offspring be reckoned;" ¹⁹ accounting that God is able even to raise from the dead; whence also he did figuratively receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau even concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave directions concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair and they feared not the kings commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called son of Pharaohs daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land; which the Egyptians attempted and were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encompassed for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disobeyed, after having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel, and the prophets; ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promised blessings, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received back their dead by a resurrection; but others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, and also of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they went about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; they wandered in deserts and mountains, and caves and the clefts of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promised blessing, ⁴⁰ God having provided for us some better thing, that they might not be made perfect without us.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated—not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to—that he had pleased God well, ⁶ and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder. ⁷ By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go; ⁹ by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise, ¹⁰ for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise; ¹² wherefore, also from one were begotten—and that of one who had become dead—as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that is by the sea-shore—the innumerable. ¹³ In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted them, and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth, ¹⁴ for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country; ¹⁵ and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return, ¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises, ¹⁸ of whom it was said—`In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;' ¹⁹ reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive him . ²⁰ By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau; ²¹ by faith Jacob dying—each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff; ²² by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command. ²³ By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king; ²⁴ by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh, ²⁵ having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season, ²⁶ greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward; ²⁷ by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One—he endured; ²⁸ by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up; ³⁰ by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days; ³¹ by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
³² And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive, ³⁶ and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins—being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth; ³⁹ and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel brought near a greater sacrifice to God than Cain, by which he was testified of to be just, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was transferred not to see death; and was not found, because God had transferred him: for before his transferring he had been testified of, to have pleased God. ⁶ And without faith it is impossible to please: for he approaching to God must believe that he is, and is a remunerator to them seeking him out. ⁷ By faith Noah, having an intimation of the divine will of things not yet seen, being circumspect, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which he condemned the world, and by faith became an heir of justice. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, listened, to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he came out, not knowing where he is coming. ⁹ By faith he dwelt in the land of promise, as a strange land, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise: ¹⁰ For he awaited a city having foundations, whose artificer and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sara also herself received power for the laying down of seed, and brought forth during the time of age, for she deemed him faithful having promised. ¹² Wherefore also from one were they born, and these of him having been dead, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand near the lip of the sea innumerable. ¹³ According to faith died all these, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and been persuaded, and having embraced, and assented that they are strangers and newly arrived from a foreign country upon earth. ¹⁴ For they saying such things show clearly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to have returned. ¹⁶ And now they feel an ardent desire for a better, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham had brought near Isaac, being tried: and he having received the promises brought near the only born, ¹⁸ To whom it was spoken, That in Isaac shall seed be called to thee: ¹⁹ Reckoning that God was also able to raise from the dead; whence he also received him in a parable. ²⁰ By faith concerning things about to be, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons; and worshipped, upon the extremity of his rod. ²² By faith Joseph, dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel: and charged concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw a shrewd child; and they were not afraid of the edict of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be reckoned the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Having chosen rather to be treated ill with the people of God, than to have the enjoyment of sin for a time; ²⁶ Having deemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than treasures in Egypt: for he looked to the payment of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not having feared the king's wrath: for, as seeing the invisible, he was strong. ²⁸ By faith he has kept the pascha, and the pouring out of blood, lest he destroying the first born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians having tried were swallowed down. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been surrounded for seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with the unbelieving, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what more do I say? for the time will fail me recounting of Gedeon, Barak, and also Samson and Jephthae; David also, and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ Who by faith subdued kingdoms, wrought justice, attained the promises, shut up the mouths of lions, ³⁴ Quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were strengthened from weakness, were strong in war, turned away the armies of strangers. ³⁵ Women received their dead from rising up: and others were beaten, not receiving redemption; that they might attain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others received trial of jestings and scourges, and further, of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut by sawing, they were tried, they died by the slaughter of the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being in want, pressed, treated ill; ³⁸ (Of whom the world was not worthy:) wandering about in solitary places, and mountains, and caves, and holes of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having been testified of by faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something better for us, that without us they should not be completed.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony of being righteous, God bearing testimony to his gifts, and by it, having died, he yet speaks. ⁵ 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 has the testimony that he had pleased God. ⁶ But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out. ⁷ By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which [is] according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned as a stranger in the land of promise as a foreign country, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with [him] of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he waited for the city which has foundations, of which God is [the] artificer and constructor. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received strength for [the] conception of seed, and [that] beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised. ¹² Wherefore also there have been born of one, and that of one become dead, even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the countless sand which [is] by the sea shore. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For they who say such things shew clearly that they seek [their] country. ¹⁵ And if they had called to mind that from whence they went out, they had had opportunity to have returned; ¹⁶ but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, [when] tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten [son], ¹⁸ as to whom it had been said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ counting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from among [the] dead, whence also he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob [when] dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph [when] dying called to mind the going forth of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful; and they did not fear the injunction of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had become great, refused to be called son of Pharaoh`s daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction along with the people of God than to have [the] temporary pleasure of sin; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he had respect to the recompense. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he celebrated the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as through dry land; of which the Egyptians having made trial were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with the unbelieving, having received the spies in peace. ³² And what more do I say? For the time would fail me telling of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, and David and Samuel, and of the prophets: ³³ who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions` mouths, ³⁴ quenched [the] power of fire, escaped [the] edge of the sword, became strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, made [the] armies of strangers give way. ³⁵ Women received their dead again by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, that they might get a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and [in] dens and caverns of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

6 G1161 And G5565 without G4102 faith G102 it is impossible G2100 to be well-pleasing G1063 unto him; for G4334 he that cometh G2316 to God G1163 must G4100 believe G3754 that G2076 he is, G2532 and G1096 that he is G3406 a rewarder G1567 of them that seek G846 after him.

12 G1352 wherefore G1080 also there sprang G575 of G1520 one, G2532 and G5023 him G2531 as G3499 good as dead, G2531 so many as G798 the stars G4128 of heaven in multitude, G2532 and G5616 as G5491 the G285 sand, G3588 which is G3844 by G2281 the G5491 sea-shore, G382 innumerable.

13 G3778 These G3956 all G599 died G2596 in G4102 faith, G3361 not G2983 having received G1860 the promises, G235 but G1492 having seen G846 them G2532 and G782 greeted G4207 them from afar, G2532 and G3670 having confessed G3754 that G1526 they were G3581 strangers G2532 and G3927 pilgrims G1909 on G1093 the earth.

14 G1063 For G3004 they that say G5108 such things G1718 make it manifest G3754 that G1934 they are seeking G3968 after a country of their own.

15 G2532 And G1487 if G3303 indeed G3421 they had been mindful G1565 of that G575 country from G3739 which G1831 they went out, G2192 they would have had G302 G2540 opportunity G344 to return.

16 G1161 But G3570 now G3713 they desire G2909 a better G5124 country, that G2076 is, G2032 a heavenly: G1352 wherefore G2316 God G1870 is G3756 not G1870 ashamed G846 of them, G1941 to be called G846 their G2316 God; G1063 for G2090 he hath prepared G846 for them G4172 a city.

17 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G3985 being tried, G4374 offered up G2464 Isaac: G2532 yea, G324 he that had gladly received G1860 the promises G4374 was offering up G3439 his only begotten son;

18 G4314 even he to G3739 whom G2980 it was said, G3754 G1722 In G2464 Isaac G2564 shall G4671 thy G4690 seed G2564 be called:

19 G3049 accounting G3754 that G2316 God G1415 is able G1453 to raise G1453 up, G2532 even G1537 from G3498 the dead; G3606 from whence G2532 he did also G1722 in G3850 a figure G2865 receive G846 him back.

20 G4102 By faith G2464 Isaac G2127 blessed G2384 Jacob G2532 and G2269 Esau, G4012 even concerning G3195 things to come.

21 G4102 By faith G2384 Jacob, G599 when he was dying, G2127 blessed G1538 each G5207 of the sons G2501 of Joseph; G2532 and G4352 worshipped, G1909 leaning upon G206 the top G4464 of G846 his G4464 staff.

22 G4102 By faith G2501 Joseph, G5053 when his end G3421 was nigh, made mention G4012 of G1841 the departure G5207 of the children G2474 of Israel; G2532 and G1781 gave commandment G4012 concerning G846 his G3747 bones.

23 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1080 when he was born, G2928 was hid G5150 three months G5259 by G846 his G3962 parents, G1360 because G1492 they saw G791 he was a goodly G3813 child; G2532 and G5399 they were G3756 not G5399 afraid G1297 of G935 the king's G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1096 when he was grown G3173 up, G720 refused G3004 to be called G5207 the son G2364 of G5328 Pharaoh's G2364 daughter;

25 G138 choosing G3123 rather G4778 to share ill treatment with G2992 the people G2316 of God, G2228 than G2192 to enjoy G619 the pleasures G266 of sin G4340 for a season;

26 G2233 accounting G3680 the reproach G5547 of Christ G3173 greater G4149 riches G2344 than the treasures G1722 of G125 Egypt: G1063 for G578 he looked G1519 unto G3405 the recompense of reward.

27 G4102 By faith G2641 he forsook G125 Egypt, G3361 not G5399 fearing G2372 the wrath G935 of the king: G1063 for G2594 he endured, G5613 as G3708 seeing G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 By faith G4160 he kept G3957 the passover, G2532 and G4378 the sprinkling G2443 of the blood, G3645 that the destroyer G4416 of the firstborn G3361 should not G2345 touch G846 them.

29 G4102 By faith G1224 they passed through G2281 the G2063 Red G2281 sea G5613 as G1223 by G3584 dry G3739 land: which G124 the Egyptians G3984 assaying G2983 to do G2666 were swallowed up.

30 G4102 By faith G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 fell down, G2944 after they had been compassed G1909 about G2033 for seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith G4460 Rahab G4204 the harlot G4881 perished G3756 not G4881 with G544 them that were disobedient, G1209 having received G2685 the spies G3326 with G1515 peace.

32 G2532 And G5101 what G3004 shall I G2089 more G3004 say? G1063 for G5550 the time G1952 will fail G3165 me G1334 if I tell G4012 of G1066 Gideon, G913 Barak, G4546 Samson, G2422 Jephthah; G1138 of David G2532 and G4545 Samuel G2532 and G4396 the prophets:

33 G3739 who G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 subdued G932 kingdoms, G2038 wrought G1343 righteousness, G2013 obtained G1860 promises, G5420 stopped G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 quenched G1411 the power G4442 of fire, G5343 escaped G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword, G575 from G769 weakness G1743 were made strong, G1096 waxed G2478 mighty G1722 in G4171 war, G2827 turned to flight G3925 armies G245 of aliens.

35 G1135 Women G2983 received G846 their G3498 dead G1537 by G386 a resurrection: G1161 and G243 others G5178 were tortured, G3756 not G4327 accepting G629 their deliverance; G2443 that G5177 they might obtain G2909 a better G386 resurrection:

36 G1161 and G2087 others G2983 had G3984 trial G1701 of G1701 mockings G2532 and G3148 scourgings, G2089 yea, G1161 moreover G1199 of bonds G2532 and G5438 imprisonment:

37 G3034 they were stoned, G4249 they were sawn asunder, G3985 they were tempted, G1722 they were slain G1722 with G3162 the sword: G4022 they went about G1722 in G3374 sheepskins, G1722 in G122 G1192 goatskins; G5302 being destitute, G2346 afflicted, G2558 ill-treated

38 G3739 (of whom G2889 the world G2258 was G3756 not G514 worthy), G4105 wandering G1722 in G2047 deserts G2532 and G3735 mountains G2532 and G4693 caves, G2532 and G3692 the holes G1093 of the earth.

39 G3778 And these G3956 all, G3140 having had witness G1223 borne to them through G4102 their faith, G2865 received G3756 not G1860 the promise,

40 G2316 God G4265 having provided G5100 some G2909 better G5100 thing G4012 concerning G2257 us, G2443 that G5565 apart G2257 from us G5048 they should G3361 not G5048 be made perfect.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts; and through it, he being dead, he yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God translated him; for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God: ⁶ and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he became a sojourner in a land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ¹⁰ for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised: ¹² wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he hath prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac; yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead, from whence he did also in a figure receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, ²⁶ accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked unto the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land; which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, both Barak and Samson, and Jephthah, both of David and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead by a resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith, a fuller sacrifice, did Abel, offer unto God, than Cain,––through which, he received witness that he was righteous, there being a witnessing upon his gifts, by God; and, through it, though he died, he yet is speaking. ⁵ By faith, Enoch was translated, so as not to see death, and was not found, because that, God, had translated him; for, before the translation, he had received witness that he had become well–pleasing unto God; –– ⁶ But, apart from faith, it is impossible to be well–pleasing; for he that approacheth unto God––must needs have faith, that he is, and that, to them who seek him out, a rewarder he becometh. ⁷ By faith, Noah, having received intimation concerning the things not yet seen, filled with reverence, prepared an ark to the saving of his house––through which he condemned the world, and, of the righteousness by way of faith, became heir. ⁸ By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed––to come forth into a place he was destined to receive for an inheritance; and he came forth, not well knowing whither he was coming. ⁹ By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, in tents, dwelling, along with Isaac and Jacob, the joint–heirs of the same promise; ¹⁰ For he was awaiting the city having foundations, whose architect and builder is, God. ¹¹ By faith, even Sarah herself, received power for founding a seed, even beyond the season of life’s prime,––seeing that, faithful, she reckoned, him that had promised; ¹² Wherefore, even from one, were born, and, as to these things, one who had become dead,––like the stars of the heaven, for multitude, and as the sand that is by the lip of the sea, that cannot be numbered. ¹³ In faith, all these died––not bearing away the promises, but, from afar, beholding and saluting them, and confessing that, strangers and sojourners, were they upon the land. ¹⁴ For, they who such things as these are saying, make it clear that, of a paternal home they are in quest; ¹⁵ And, if indeed of that they had been mindful, from which they had come out, they might, in that case, have had an opportunity, to return; ¹⁶ But, now, after a better one, are they reaching, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as, their God,––for he hath prepared for them, a city. ¹⁷ By faith, Abraham, when tested, offered up Isaac, and, the only–begotten, would he have offered up, who the promises had accepted,–– ¹⁸ Even him of whom it had been said––In Isaac, shall there be called to thee, a seed: ¹⁹ Accounting that, even from among the dead, God, was able, to raise [him], ––whence, even in similitude, he bare him away. ²⁰ By faith, even concerning things to come, did Isaac bless Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith, Jacob, when about to die, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and bowed in worship on the top of his staff. ²² By faith, Joseph, when drawing to his end––concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, called to remembrance, and, concerning his bones, gave commandment. ²³ By faith, Moses, when born––was hid three months by his parents, because, they saw, that, goodly, was, the child, and were not affrighted, at the decree of the king. ²⁴ By faith, Moses, when grown up––refused to be called the son of a daughter of a Pharaoh, ²⁵ Rather choosing––to be jointly suffering ill–treatment with the people of God, than, for a season, to be having, sins enjoyment; ²⁶ Accounting––as greater riches than Egypt’s treasures, the reproach of the Anointed One; for he was looking away unto the recompense. ²⁷ By faith, he forsook Egypt––not put in fear of the wrath of the king; for, as seeing him who cannot be seen, he persevered. ²⁸ By faith, he hath kept the passover and the besmearing of the blood, lest, he that was destroying the first–born, should be touching them. ²⁹ By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as over dry land,––which the Egyptians, seizing an attempt to do, were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith, the walls of Jericho, fell, having been surrounded for seven days. ³¹ By faith, Rahab the harlot perished not with them who refused to yield, she having welcomed the spies with peace.
³² And what more can I say? For, time, will fail me while I go on telling––concerning Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,–– ³³ Who, through faith––prevailed in contest over kingdoms, wrought righteousness, attained unto promises, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ Quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouths of the sword, were made powerful from weakness, became mighty in battle, overturned, camps of aliens; ³⁵ Women received, by resurrection, their dead; but, others, were put to the rack, not accepting redemption, that, unto a better resurrection, they might attain: ³⁶ Others, again, of mockings and scourgings, received trial, nay! further, of bonds and imprisonments: ³⁷ They were stoned, were pierced through, were sawn asunder, by murder, with a sword, died, went about in sheep–skins, in goat–hides,––being in want, suffering tribulation, enduring ill–treatment: ³⁸ Of whom the world, was not worthy––upon deserts, wandering, and mountains, and in caves,––and in the caverns of the earth. ³⁹ And, these all, though they obtained witness through their faith, yet bare not away, the promise: ⁴⁰ God, for us, something better providing,––that, not apart from us, should they be made, perfect.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Faith made the sacrifice which Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain's, and won him renown as a righteous man, God himself establishing his renown by accepting his gifts; and it is by the example of his faith that Abel, though dead, still speaks. ⁵ Faith led to Enoch's removal from earth, that he might not experience death. 'He could not be found because God had removed him.' For, before his removal, he was renowned as having pleased God; ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who seek for him. ⁷ It was faith that enabled Noah, after he had received the divine warning about what could not then be foreseen, to build, in reverent obedience, an ark in which to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world, and became possessed of that righteousness which follows upon faith. ⁸ It was faith that enabled Abraham to obey the Call that he received, and to set out for the place which he was afterwards to obtain as his own; and he set out not knowing where he was going. ⁹ It was faith that made him go to live as an emigrant in the Promised Land--as in a strange country--living there in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him. ¹⁰ For he was looking for the City with the sure foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ Again, it was faith that enabled Sarah to conceive (though she was past the age for child-bearing), because she felt sure that he who had given her the promise would not fail her. ¹² And so from one man--and that when his powers were dead--there sprang a people as numerous 'as the stars in the heavens or the countless grains of sand upon the shore.' ¹³ All these died sustained by faith. They did not obtain the promised blessings, but they saw them from a distance and welcomed the sight, and they acknowledged themselves to be only aliens and strangers on the earth. ¹⁴ Those who speak thus show plainly that they are seeking their fatherland. ¹⁵ If they had been thinking of the land that they had left, they could have found opportunities to return. ¹⁶ But no, they were longing for a better, a heavenly, land! And therefore God was not ashamed to be called their God; indeed he had already prepared them a city. ¹⁷ It was faith that enabled Abraham, when put to the test, to offer Isaac as a sacrifice--he who had received the promises offering up his only son, ¹⁸ of whom it had been said-- 'It is through Isaac that there shall be descendants to bear thy name.' ¹⁹ For he argued that God was able even to raise a man from the dead--and indeed, figuratively speaking, Abraham did receive Isaac back from the dead. ²⁰ It was faith that enabled Isaac to bless Jacob and Esau, even with regard to the future. ²¹ Faith enabled Jacob, when dying, to give his blessing to each of the sons of Joseph, and 'to bow himself in worship as he leant upon the top of his staff.' ²² Faith caused Joseph, when his end was near, to speak of the future migration of the Israelites, and to give instructions with regard to his bones. ²³ Faith caused the parents of Moses to hide the child for three months after his birth, for they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they would not respect the King's order. ²⁴ It was faith that caused Moses, when he was grown up, to refuse the title of 'Son of a Daughter of Pharaoh.' ²⁵ He preferred sharing the hardships of God's People to enjoying the short-lived pleasures of sin. ²⁶ For he counted 'the reproaches that are heaped upon the Christ' of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, looking forward, as he did, to the reward awaiting him. ²⁷ Faith caused him to leave Egypt, though undaunted by the King's anger, for he was strengthened in his endurance by the vision of the invisible God. ²⁸ Faith led him to institute the Passover and the Sprinkling of the Blood, so that the Destroyer might not touch the eldest children of the Israelites. ²⁹ Faith enabled the people to cross the Red Sea, as if it had been dry land, while the Egyptians, when they attempted to do so, were drowned. ³⁰ Faith caused the walls of Jericho to fall after being encircled for seven days. ³¹ Faith saved Rahab, the prostitute, from perishing with the unbelievers, after she had entertained the spies with friendliness. ³² Need I add anything more? Time would fail me if I attempted to relate the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, and those of David, Samuel, and the Prophets. ³³ By their faith they subdued kingdoms, ruled righteously, gained the fulfillment of God's promises, 'shut the mouths of lions,' ³⁴ quelled the fury of the flames, escaped the edge of the sword, found strength in the hour of weakness, displayed their prowess in war, and routed hostile armies. ³⁵ Women received back their dead raised to life. Some were tortured on the wheel, and refused release in order that they might rise to a better life. ³⁶ Others had to face taunts and blows, and even chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned to death, they were tortured, they were swan asunder, they were put to the sword; they wandered about clothed in the skins of sheep or goats, destitute, persecuted, ill-used-- ³⁸ men of whom the world was not worthy--roaming in lonely places, and on the mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. ³⁹ Yet, though they all won renown by their faith, they did not obtain the final fulfillment of God's promise; ⁴⁰ since God had in view some better thing for us, that they, apart from us, should not attain perfection.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered up to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received the witness that he was righteous, God witnessing to his gifts: and through it he having died is still speaking. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found because God translated him. For before he was translated he had the witness of the Spirit, that he pleased God: ⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise: ¹⁰ for he anticipated a city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore indeed they were born of one, and those things of one having died, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sands which are by the sea, which are innumerable. ¹³ These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those speaking such things declare that they are seeking after a country of their own. ¹⁵ If indeed they remember that country from which they came out, they would have had an opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: and the one having received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ in reference to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ considering that God is able to raise him from the dead; whence he also received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each one of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, on the hilt of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the exodus of the children of Israel; and commanded concerning his own bones. ²³ By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and did not fear the commandment of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, having become an adult, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he was looking unto the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one. ²⁸ By faith he instituted the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one destroying the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they pass through the Red sea as through dry land: the undertaking of which the Egyptians having entered upon were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encompassed about seven days, ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what do I yet say? time will fail me relating concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, ³⁴ obtained promises, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness became filled up with dynamite, became mighty in war, put to flight the armies of the aliens: ³⁵ women receive their dead from a resurrection: some were tortured, not accepting deliverance; in order that they might receive a better resurrection: ³⁶ and others received the trial of scourgings and mockings, and still of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were tempted, they were burnt, they died by the edge of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, troubled, persecuted, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and caves and dens of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having received the witness of the spirit through faith, did not obtain the promise: ⁴⁰ God having reserved something better for us, that they might not be made perfect apart from us.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks. ⁵ Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God. ⁶ But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him. ⁷ Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on faith. ⁸ Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to. ⁹ Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise; ¹⁰ for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother--although she was past the time of life for this--because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise. ¹² And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted. ¹³ All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth; ¹⁴ for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own. ¹⁵ And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ Through faith Abraham, as soon as God put him to the test, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had joyfully welcomed the promises was on the point of sacrificing his only son ¹⁸ with regard to whom he had been told, "IT IS THROUGH ISAAC THAT YOUR POSTERITY SHALL BE TRACED." ¹⁹ For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again. ²⁰ Through faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even in connexion with things soon to come. ²¹ Through faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and, leaning on the top of his staff, worshipped God. ²² Through faith Joseph, when he was near his end, made mention of the departure of the descendants of Israel, and gave orders about his own body. ²³ Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them. ²⁴ Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be known as Pharaoh's daughter's son, ²⁵ having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin; ²⁶ because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming reward. ²⁷ Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One. ²⁸ Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites. ²⁹ Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up. ³⁰ Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded for seven days. ³¹ Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies and had sheltered them. ³² And why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the Prophets; ³³ men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths, ³⁴ deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight foreign armies. ³⁵ Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them--that they might secure a better resurrection. ³⁶ Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty. ³⁸ (They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves in caves and in holes in the ground. ³⁹ And although by their faith all these people won God's approval, none of them received the fulfilment of His great promise; ⁴⁰ for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he, being dead, is still speaking. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for, it has been witnessed to him that, before his translation, he had been well-pleasing to God. ⁶ And, apart from faith, it is impossible to please Him; for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder to those who seek after Him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he was waiting for the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive seed, even when past the age of child-bearing, since she accounted Him faithful, Who promised. ¹² Wherefore also there sprang from one, and one impotent as to these things, as many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable. ¹³ These all died according to faith, not having obtained the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having greeted them, and having confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it manifest that they are seeking their paternal home. ¹⁵ And, if, indeed, they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they long for a better country, that is, a heavenly one; wherefore, God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for He prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, has offered up Isaac; yea, he who gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ to whom it was said, "In Isaac shall your seed be called;" ¹⁹ accounting that God is able to raise even from the dead; whence he did also, as in a figure, receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things about to be. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and he worshiped leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when approaching his end, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a comely child; and they were not afraid of the king's command. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a season; ²⁶ regarding the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking away to the recompense. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him Who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he has instituted the passover, and the applying of the blood, lest the destroyer of the first-born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians, making an attempt to do, were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been compassed about for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved; having received the spies with peace. ³² And what more am I to say? for the time will fail me, if I speak at length concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David also, and of Samuel, and the prophets; ³³ who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight armies of aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead by a resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of mockings and scourgings, and, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they perished in the slaughter of the sword; they went about in sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, suffering tribulation, maltreated ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having received a good report through faith, obtained not the promise; ⁴⁰ God having provided something better concerning us, that, apart from us, they should not be made perfect.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ It was by faith that Abel offered God a richer sacrifice than Cain did, and thus won from God the record of being 'just,' on the score of what he gave; he died, but by his faith he is speaking to us still. ⁵ It was by faith that Enoch was taken to heaven, so that he never died (he was not overtaken by death, for God had taken him away). For before he was taken to heaven, his record was that he had satisfied God; ⁶ and apart from faith it is impossible to satisfy him, for the man who draws near to God must believe that he exists and that he does reward those who seek him. ⁷ It was by faith that Noah, after being told by God what was still unseen, reverently constructed an ark to save his household; thus he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that follows faith. ⁸ It was by faith that Abraham obeyed his call to go forth to a place which he would receive as an inheritance; he went forth, although he did not know where he was to go. ⁹ It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land, as in a foreign country, residing in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob who were co-heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ he was waiting for the City with its fixed foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ It was by faith that even Sara got strength to conceive, bearing a son when she was past the age for it — because she considered she could rely on Him who gave the promise. ¹² Thus a single man, though he was physically impotent, had issue in number like the stars in heaven, countless as the sand on the seashore. ¹³ (These all died in faith without obtaining the promises; they only saw them far away and hailed them, owning they were 'strangers and exiles upon earth.' ¹⁴ Now people who speak in this way plainly show they are in search of a fatherland. ¹⁵ If they thought of the land they have left behind, they would have time to go back, ¹⁶ but they really aspire to the better land in heaven. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God; he has prepared a City for them.) ¹⁷ It was by faith, when Abraham was put to the test, that he sacrificed Isaac, he was ready to sacrifice his only son, although he had received the promises ¹⁸ and had been told that it is through Isaac that your offspring shall be reckoned — ¹⁹ for he considered that God was able even to raise men from the dead. Hence he did get him back, by what was a parable of the resurrection. ²⁰ It was by faith that Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in connexion with the future. ²¹ It was by faith that, when Jacob was dying, he blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bending in prayer over the head of his staff. ²² It was by faith that Joseph at his end thought about the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders about his own bones. ²³ It was by faith that Moses was hidden for three months after birth by his parents, because they saw the child was beautiful, and had no fear of the royal decree. ²⁴ It was by faith that Moses refused, when he had grown up, to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ ill-treatment with God's people he preferred to the passing pleasures of sin, ²⁶ considering obloquy with the messiah to be richer wealth than all Egypt's treasures — for he had an eye to the Reward. ²⁷ It was by faith that he left Egypt, not from any fear of the king's wrath; like one who saw the King Invisible, he never flinched. ²⁸ It was by faith that he celebrated the passover and performed the sprinkling by blood, so that the destroying angel might not touch Israel's first-born. ²⁹ It was by faith that they crossed the Red Sea like dry land — and when the Egyptians attempted it they were drowned. ³⁰ It was by faith that the walls of Jericho collapsed, after being surrounded for only seven days. ³¹ It was by faith that Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, as she had welcomed the scouts peaceably. ³² And what more shall I say? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak and Samson and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets — ³³ men who by faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouth of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness won to strength, proved valiant in warfare, and routed hosts of foreigners. ³⁵ Some were given back to their womankind, raised from the very dead; others were broken on the wheel, refusing to accept release, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ others, again, had to experience scoffs and scourging, aye chains and imprisonment — ³⁷ they were stoned, sawn in two, and cut to pieces; they had to roam about in sheepskins and goatskins, forlorn, oppressed, ill-treated ³⁸ (men of whom the world was not worthy), wanderers in the desert and among the hills, in caves and gullies. ³⁹ They all won their record for faith, but the Promise they did not obtain. ⁴⁰ God had something better in store for us; he would not have them perfected apart from us.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Faith made Abel's sacrifice greater in the sight of God than Cain's; through faith he gained God's approval as an upright man, for God himself approved his offering, and through faith even when he was dead he still spoke. ⁵ Faith caused Enoch to be taken up from the earth without experiencing death; he could not be found, because God had taken him up. For before he was taken up there is evidence that he pleased God, ⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please him; for whoever would approach God must have faith in his existence and in his willingness to reward those who try to find him. ⁷ Faith led Noah, when he was warned by God of things no one then saw, in obedience to the warning to build an ark in which to save his family, and by such faith he condemned the world, and came to possess that uprightness which faith produces. ⁸ Faith enabled Abraham to obey when God summoned him to leave his home for a region which he was to have for his own, and to leave home without knowing where he was going. ⁹ Faith led him to make a temporary home as a stranger in the land he had been promised, and to live there in his tents, with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him. ¹⁰ For he was looking forward to that city with the sure foundations, designed and built by God. ¹¹ Faith made even Sarah herself able to have a child, although she was past the time of life for it, because she thought, that he who had made the promise would keep it. ¹² And so from one man, for any prospect of descendants as good as dead, there sprang a people in number like the stars in the heavens or the countless sands on the seashore. ¹³ All these people lived all their lives in faith, and died without receiving what had been promised; they only saw it far ahead and welcomed the sight of it, recognizing that they themselves were only foreigners and strangers here on earth. ¹⁴ For men who recognize that show that they are in search of a country of their own. ¹⁵ And if it had been the country from which they had come to which their thoughts turned back, they would have found an opportunity to return to it. ¹⁶ But, as it is, their aspirations are for a better, a heavenly country! That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city to receive them. ¹⁷ Faith enabled Abraham, when he was put to the test, to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had accepted God's promises was ready to sacrifice his only son, ¹⁸ of whom he had been told, "Your posterity is to arise through Isaac!" ¹⁹ For he believed that God was able to raise men even from the dead, and from the dead he did indeed, to speak figuratively, receive him back. ²⁰ Faith enabled Isaac to bequeath to Jacob and Esau blessings that were still to be. ²¹ Faith made Jacob when he was dying give a blessing to each of Joseph's sons, and bow in worship even while leaning on his staff. ²² Faith inspired Joseph when he was dying to tell of the future migration of the Israelites, and to give instructions about his own body. ²³ Faith led Moses' parents to hide him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and they would not respect the edict of the king. 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. ³⁵ Women had their dead restored to them by resurrection. Others endured torture, and refused to accept release, that they might rise again to the better life. ³⁶ Still others had to endure taunts and blows, and even fetters and prison. ³⁷ They were stoned to death, they were tortured to death, they were sawed in two, they were killed with the sword. Clothed in the skins of sheep or goats, they were driven from place to place, destitute, persecuted, misused— ³⁸ men of whom the world was not worthy wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and holes in the ground. ³⁹ Yet though they all gained God's approval by their faith, they none of them received what he had promised, ⁴⁰ for God had resolved upon something still better for us, that they might not reach the fulfilment of their hopes except with us.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, for which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts, and by it, though dead, he still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he was not found because God had taken him. For before being taken he had this testimony that he had pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must have faith that he exists and that he becomes the rewarder of those who seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, after receiving a divine warning regarding things as yet unseen, reverently built an ark for the saving of his household. Thus he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness of faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham when called obeyed and came out into the place which he was to obtain for an inheritance. He came out not knowing where he was coming. ⁹ By faith he made his home in the promised land as in a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was looking for the city that has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah received power to conceive a child even when past the natural time of life, since she thought him trustworthy who had given the promise. ¹² And so from just one man, already dead in that respect, there sprang descendants "as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand on the seashore innumerable." ¹³ These all died in faith, not having obtained the promised blessings, but they saw them and greeted them afar and confessed that they were strangers and foreigners in the land. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a fatherland. ¹⁵ And if they had been thinking of that land from which they came they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them — of being called their God; for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises began offering his only son ¹⁸ regarding whom it had been said, "Those only whose descent is through Isaac shall be called your descendants." ¹⁹ He reasoned that God was able to raise him even from the dead, and figuratively he did win him back from the dead. ²⁰ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau and spoke of things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when at his end, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave orders regarding his own bones. ²³ By faith Moses at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they did not fear the king's command. ²⁴ By faith Moses when he had grown up refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter. ²⁵ He chose rather to suffer hard-ship with the people of God than to enjoy the brief pleasure of sin, ²⁶ and he thought the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the final reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; for he endured as if seeing him who is unseen. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer might not touch their first-born. ²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as on dry land; but the Egyptians when they tried to do so were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, did not perish with those who had refused to believe; because she had welcomed the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say further? Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the prophets; ³³ who through faith struggled against kingdoms and subdued them, did deeds of righteousness, obtained promised blessings, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness grew strong, became mighty in war, turned back armies of foreigners. ³⁵ Women received back their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to pay for liberation, in order to gain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Still others had experience of mockings and floggings, yes, of chains and prisons. ³⁷ They were stoned, afflicted, sawn in two, murdered with the sword. They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, distressed, maltreated. ³⁸ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in caves and in holes in the earth. ³⁹ All these won God's approval by their faith. Yet they did not obtain the fulfillment of the promise. ⁴⁰ In reference to us God had something better in view, that they without us should not reach perfection.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. Before his translation he had witness borne to him that he pleased God. ⁶ now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking. ⁷ By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he continually looked for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, although she was past the age for child-bearing, because she counted Him faithful who had promised; ¹² and thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars in the heavens in multitude, or grains of sand upon the seashore, innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having yet received the promises; nay, but they saw them from afar, and hailed them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a Fatherland. ¹⁵ And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return; ¹⁶ but now they are longing for a better homeland, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; and he has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son, ¹⁸ of whom it had been said, It is through Isaac that your posterity will be traced. ¹⁹ For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel, and gave instructions in regard to his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's decree. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. ²⁶ He accounted the obloquy of Christ to be greater than the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his eyes on the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not because he feared the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he established the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood, in order that the Destroying Angel might not touch the firstborn. ²⁹ By faith the people crossed over the Red Sea as on dry land; and when the Egyptians tried to do this they were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab, the harlot, perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace. ³² And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jeptha; of David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, proved valiant in warfare, and routed armies of aliens. ³⁵ Woman received their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were broken on the wheel, not accepting the offered deliverance, in order that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Others again bore trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, even of chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, persecuted, tormented— ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground. ³⁹ Yet, though these all had witness borne to them by their faith, they received not the promise; ⁴⁰ since it was for us that God had in store some better thing, so that apart from us they should not be perfected.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ It was by faith, Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice to God than Cain, and because of this, he received a testimonial that he was righteous, and God testified to his offering: therefore, even though he is dead, he speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch departed and did not taste death, and he was not found, because God transferred him: but before he took him away, there was a testimonial about him, that he pleased God. ⁶ Without faith, man cannot please God: for he who comes near to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, when he was warned concerning the things not seen, became fearful and he made an ark to save his household, and by it he condemned the world and he became heir of righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called to depart for the land which he was to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he became a sojourner in the land which was promised him as in a strange country, and he dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ Through faith also Sarah who was barren, received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she was sure that he who had promised her was faithful. ¹² Therefore, there sprang from one who was as good as dead, as many as the stars of the sky in number, and as the sand which is on the sea shore innumerable. ¹³ These all died in faith not having received the promised land, but they saw it from afar off, and rejoiced in it; and they acknowledged that they were strangers and pilgrims on earth. ¹⁴ For they who speak so, declare plainly that they seek a country for themselves. ¹⁵ And if they had a desire for that very country from which they went out, they had time to return to it again. ¹⁶ But now it is evident, that they desire a better city, that city which is in heaven: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac: he lifted upon the altar his only begotten son, even that very one who had been received in the promise. ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ And he reasoned in himself, It is possible for God even to raise the dead, and because of this Isaac was given to him as a parable. ²⁰ By faith in the things to come Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when be was dying, blessed both of the sons of Joseph, and he worshipped, leaning upon the head of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he died made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith the parents of Moses, hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that the infant boy was fair; and they were not afraid of the KingÆs commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he came to manhood, refused to be called the son of PhaÆraohÆs daughter. ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short while. ²⁶ And he reasoned that the reproach of Christ was greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked forward to be paid the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; and he survived after he had seen God, who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he instituted the passover, and sprinkled the blood, lest he who destroyed the first-born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land: but in it the Egyptians were drowned when they made the attempt. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were being encompassed seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, for she had received the spies in peace. ³² And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of JephÆtha-e, and of David also, and Samuel, and of the rest of the prophets: ³³ Who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, and became valiant in battle, and routed the camps of enemies; ³⁵ Restored to women their sons, raised from the dead: while others died through tortures, not hoping for deliverance; that they might have a better resurrection: ³⁶ Others endured mockings and scourgings, still others were delivered to bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ Others were stoned, others were sawn apart, others died by the edge of the sword: others wandered about, wearing sheep skins and goat skins; destitute, afflicted and tormented; ³⁸ Of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered as though lost in the desert, and in mountains, and in dens and in caves of the earth. ³⁹ Thus these all, having obtained a testimonial through the faith, did not receive the promise: ⁴⁰ Because God, from the beginning, provided for our help lest, without us, they should not be made perfect.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offers to God more of a sacrifice than Cain, through which he was testified to that he is just at God's testifying to his approach presents, and through it, dying, he is still speaking." ⁵ By faith Enoch was transferred, so as not to be acquainted with death, and was not found, because God transfers him. For before his transference he is attested to have pleased God well." ⁶ Now apart from faith it is impossible to be well pleasing, for he who is coming to God must believe that He is, and is becoming a Rewarder of those who are seeking Him out." ⁷ By faith Noah, being apprized concerning that which is not as yet being observed, being pious, constructs an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemns the world, and became an enjoyer of the allotment of the righteousness which accords with faith." ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, obeys, coming out into the place which he was about to obtain to enjoy as an allotment, and came out, not versed in where he is coming." ⁹ By faith he sojourns in the land of promise as in an alien land, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the joint enjoyers of the allotment of the same promise. " ¹⁰ For he waited for the city having foundations, whose Artificer and Architect is God. " ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also obtained power for the disruption of seed, and brought forth beyond the period of her prime, since she deems the Promiser faithful;" ¹² wherefore, also, were begotten by one, and these of one who is deadened, according as the constellations of heaven in multitude, and as the sand beside the sea shore innumerable." ¹³ In faith died all these, not being requited with the promises, but perceiving them ahead and saluting them, and avowing that they are strangers and expatriates on the earth. " ¹⁴ For those who are saying such things are disclosing that they are seeking for a country of their own. ¹⁵ And, if, indeed, they remembered that from which they came out, they might have had occasion to go back." ¹⁶ Yet now they are craving a better, that is, a celestial; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as their God, for He makes ready for them a city." ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when undergoing trial, has offered Isaac, and he who receives the promises offered the only-begotten, ¹⁸ he to whom it was spoken that "In Isaac shall your seed be called, ¹⁹ reckoning that God is able to be rousing him from among the dead also; whence he recovers him in a parable also. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blesses Jacob and Esau concerning that which is impending also. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blesses each of the sons of Joseph, and worships, leaning on the top of his staff." ²² By faith Joseph, at his decease, remembers concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gives directions concerning his bones." ²³ By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his fathers, because they perceived that the little boy was handsome, and they were not afraid of the mandate or the king." ²⁴ By faith Moses, becoming great, disowns the term "son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ preferring rather to be maltreated with the people of God than to have a temporary enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ deeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked away to the reward." ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the fury of the king, for he is staunch as seeing the Invisible." ²⁸ By faith he has the passover made and the pouring of blood against the door jambs, lest the exterminator of the first-born may come into contact with them." ²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as through dry land, attempting which, the Egyptians were swallowed up." ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fall, being surrounded on seven days." ³¹ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, perished not with the stubborn, receiving the spies with peace." ³² And what still may I be saying? For the time will be lacking for me to relate concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, besides Samuel also, and the prophets, ³³ who, through faith, subdue kingdoms, work righteousness, happened on promises, bar the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quench the power of fire, fled from the edge of the sword, were invigorated from infirmity, became strong in battle, rout the camps of aliens, ³⁵ women obtained their dead by resurrection. Now others are flogged, not anticipating deliverance, that they may be happening upon a better resurrection." ³⁶ Yet others got a trial of scoffings and scourgings, yet still more of bonds and jail." ³⁷ They are stoned, they are sawn, they are tried, they died, murdered by the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, in want, afflicted, maltreated" ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), straying in wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth." ³⁹ And these all, being testified to through faith, are not requited with the promise of God concerning us" ⁴⁰ (the looking forward is to something better), that, apart from us, they may not be perfected."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered a sacrifice more acceptable to God than Cain did, for by it he was approved as an upright man, since God approved him for the offering he made; and by it he still continues to speak, though dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was transplanted from earth, so that he did not experience dying; and he could not be found, because God had transplanted him from earth. For before he was transplanted from earth evidence was given him that he pleased God; ⁶ but without faith it is impossible to please Him, for anyone who approaches God must believe that there is a God and that He gives rewards to all who earnestly try to find Him. ⁷ By faith Noah, on being divinely warned about things not seen as yet, in reverence prepared an ark for saving his family, and by his faith condemned the world and became possessor of the uprightness that results from faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, on being called, obeyed in starting off for a country which he was to receive as his own, and he did it in spite of the fact that he did not know where he was going. ⁹ By faith he made his temporary home in the land that God had promised him, although a land inhabited by others, living merely in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were to share the promise with him. ¹⁰ For he was confidently looking forward to that city with the solid foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah received strength to become pregnant, and actually gave birth to a child, although she was past the time of life for it, because she thought that He who made her the promise was to be trusted. ¹² And so there sprang from one man, and that dead as to any prospects for offspring, a people as numberless as the stars in the sky and as the sands beside the seashore. ¹³ These people all died victoriously as a result of their faith, although they did not receive the blessings promised; that is, because they really saw them in the far-off future and welcomed them, and so professed to be only foreigners and strangers here on earth. ¹⁴ For people who make such a profession as this show that they are in search of a country of their own. ¹⁵ And if they had been cherishing the memory of the country they had left, they would have had an opportunity to go back. ¹⁶ But in reality they were aspiring for a better country, I mean, a heavenly one. This is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, offered Isaac as a sacrifice; that is, he who had received the promise was starting to offer as a sacrifice his only son, ¹⁸ of whom it had been said, "Through Isaac your offspring must be traced." ¹⁹ For he considered the fact that God was able to raise people from the dead; and so from the dead, in a figure, he did receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac put his blessings for the future on Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when about to die, put his blessing on each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, at the closing of his life, made mention of the future migration of the Israelites, and gave directions what to do with his body. ²³ By faith, Moses, at his birth was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's decree. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as a son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ because he preferred to suffer hardships with the people of God than to have the passing enjoyment that results from sin, ²⁶ and thought the reproach endured for the Christ was greater wealth than all the treasures in Egypt, for he kept his eye upon the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, because he was not afraid of the king's anger, for he persevered as though he were actually seeing Him who is unseen. ²⁸ By faith he instituted the Passover and the pouring of blood upon the doorposts, so that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as though it were dry land, while the Egyptians, in attempting it, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho collapsed, after being surrounded each of seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who disobeyed God, because she had welcomed the scouts as friends. ³² And why should I continue to mention more? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who by their faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, received new promises, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ stopped the force of fire, escaped from dying by the sword, out of weakness found great strength, grew mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. ³⁵ Women by a resurrection received their dead again; others endured tortures, because they would not accept release, that they might rise to a better life. ³⁶ Still others stood the test of taunts and tortures, and even chains and prisons. ³⁷ They were stoned to death, they were tortured to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. With nothing on their bodies but skins of sheep or goats they wandered here and there, destitute, oppressed, mistreated -- ³⁸ men of whom the world was not worthy, though wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and holes in the ground. ³⁹ Though all these people by their faith won God's approval, yet none of them received what He had promised, ⁴⁰ for God had provided something still better for us, that they, apart from us might not attain perfection.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up to heaven so that he did not see death; he was seen no longer, for God took him away: for before he was taken, witness had been given that he was well-pleasing to God: ⁶ And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going. ⁹ By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage: ¹⁰ For he was looking for the strong town, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ And by faith Sarah herself had power to give birth, when she was very old, because she had faith in him who gave his word; ¹² So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered. ¹³ All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves. ¹⁵ And truly if they had kept in mind the country from which they went out, they would have had chances of turning back. ¹⁶ But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body, ¹⁸ Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name: ¹⁹ Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death. ²⁰ By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob gave a blessing to the two sons of Joseph, when he was near to death; and gave God worship, supported by his stick. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, said that the children of Israel would go out of Egypt; and gave orders about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin; ²⁶ Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward. ²⁷ By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover, and put the sign of the blood on the houses, so that the angel of destruction might not put their oldest sons to death. ²⁹ By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land. ³² What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets: ³³ Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut, ³⁴ Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations. ³⁵ Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come; ³⁶ And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked, ³⁸ Wandering in waste places and in mountains and in holes in the rocks; for whom the world was not good enough. ³⁹ And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith, ⁴⁰ Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to 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 speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶ But 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. ⁷ By faith Noah, having been warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he was afterward going to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he went. ⁹ By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs of the same promise with him. ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him who had promised to be faithful. ¹² Because of this came into being from one, and that of one having died, even as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. ¹³ These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. And they were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For they who say such things declare plainly that they seek a fatherland. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. ¹⁶ But now they stretch forth to a better fatherland, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promises offered up his only-begotten son, ¹⁸ of whom it was said that in Isaac your Seed shall be called, ¹⁹ concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from where he even received him, in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith, Joseph dying remembered concerning the Exodus of the sons of Israel and gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, having been 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 commandments. ²⁴ Having become great, Moses by faith refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time, ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest He who destroyed the first-born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. ³² And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the strangers. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings; yes, more, of bonds and imprisonments. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented. ³⁸ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains and dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ for God had provided some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered a greater sacrifice to God than Cain, by which he obtained witness to be righteous, God testifying over his gifts; and through it, having died, he yet speaks. ⁵ By faith "Enoch" was translated so as not to see death, and "was not found, because God translated him." For before his translation, he had obtained witness to have been pleasing to God. Gen. 5:24 ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please God . For it is right that the one drawing near to God should believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder to the ones seeking Him out. ⁷ Being warned by God about the things not yet having been seen, moved with fear, by faith Noah prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness according to faith. ⁸ Having been called out by faith, Abraham obeyed to go forth to a place which he was going to receive for an inheritance; and he went out not understanding where he went. ⁹ By faith he resided as a foreigner in a land of promise, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he looked forward to a city having the foundations of which the builder and maker is God. ¹¹ Also by faith Sarah herself received power for conceiving seed even beyond the time of age, and gave birth; since she deemed the One having promised to be faithful. ¹² Because of this came into being from one (and that from one having died), seed even "as the stars of the heaven" in multitude and countless "as sand by the seaside." Gen. 22:17 ¹³ These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them from afar, and being persuaded, and having embraced and confessed that they are aliens and tenants. ¹⁴ For those saying such things make clear that they seek a fatherland. ¹⁵ And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to return. ¹⁶ But now they stretch forth to a better, that is, a heavenly land . Therefore, God is not ashamed of them, for Him to be called their God; for He prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith, being tested, Abraham offered up Isaac; and he receiving the promises was offering up the only begotten, ¹⁸ as to whom it was said, "In Isaac your Seed shall be called;" Gen. 21:12 ¹⁹ reckoning that God was able to raise even from the dead; from where indeed he obtained him in a parable. ²⁰ By faith concerning things to come Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau. ²¹ By faith dying Jacob blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and "worshiped on the top of his staff." LXX-47:31 ²² Dying Joseph by faith made mention of the Exodus of the sons of Israel, and he gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ Being born, Moses was by faith hidden by his parents three months, because they saw the child was fair; and they did not fear the king's decree. ²⁴ Having become great, Moses by faith refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ having chosen rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than for a time to have enjoyment of sin; ²⁶ having counted the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he kept on as seeing the Invisible One . ²⁸ By faith he made the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as through dry land; by which attempt the Egyptians taking, they were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been circled during seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those disobeying, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what more may I say? For the times will fail me telling about Gideon, Barak, and also Samson and Jephthah, and also David and Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who through faith overcame kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouths of the sword, acquired power from weakness, became strong in war, made armies of foreigners to yield. ³⁵ Women received their dead by resurrection; but others were beaten to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others received trial of mockings and of floggings; yea, more, of bonds and of prison: ³⁷ they were stoned; they were tried; they were sawn in two; they died by murder of sword; they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins, being in need, being afflicted, being ill-treated; ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And having obtained witness through the faith, these all did not obtain the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something better concerning us, that they should not be perfected apart from us.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By trust Abel offered Elohim a much better sacrifice than Qayin; through which he witnessed to being just - Elohim witnessing of his gratuities: and through it, being dead, he still speaks. ⁵ By trust Hanoch was transplaced to not see death; and was not found; because Elohim transplaced him: for ere his transplacing he had this witness - that he well-pleased Elohim: ⁶ and apart from trust it is impossible to well-please: for whoever comes to Elohim must trust that he is: and that he comes a recompenser to them who seek him. ⁷ By trust Noach, being oracled concerning those still unseen, moved with reverence; prepared an ark to the salvation of his house; through which he condemned the cosmos and became heir of the justness by trust. ⁸ By trust Abraham, when called to go to a place he was about to take to an inheritance, obeyed; and he went, knowing not where he goes. ⁹ By trust he settled in the land of pre-evangelism, as in anothers, settling in tabernacles with Yischaq and Yaaqov - co-heirs of the same pre-evangelism: ¹⁰ for he awaited a city having foundations, whose artificer and public worker is Elohim. ¹¹ By trust Sara also took dynamis to conceive sperma - and birthed when she was beyond the season of maturescence; since she deemed him who had pre-evangelized trustworthy. ¹² So even of one and him as good as dead birthed a multitude exactly as the stars of the sky and innumerable as the sand by the sea shore. ¹³ These all died in trust not taking the pre-evangelisms; but seeing them afar: and were convinced and saluted and professed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For whoever words such manifest that they seek a fatherland. ¹⁵ And indeed, if they had remembered from whence they came, they had ever had season to return. ¹⁶ But now they reach for a better - that is, the heavenlies: so Elohim shames not to be called their Elohim: for he prepared them a city. ¹⁷ By trust when Abraham was tested, offered Yischaq - he who received the pre-evangelisms offered his only birthed son, ¹⁸ to whom it was spoken, In Yischaq your sperma is called: ¹⁹ reckoning that Elohim was able to raise - even from the dead; whence also he received him in a parable. ²⁰ By trust Yischaq blessed Yaaqov and Esav concerning those to come. ²¹ By trust Yaaqov, dying, blessed each of the sons of Yoseph; and worshipped on the tip of his scion. ²² By trust Yoseph, dying, remembered concerning the exodus of the sons of Yisra El; and misvahed concerning his bones. ²³ By trust Mosheh, being birthed, was secreted three months by his fathers, because they saw he was an urbane child; and they awed not by the ordinance of the sovereign. ²⁴ By trust Mosheh, becoming mega, denied being worded the son of the daughter of Paroh; ²⁵ choosing rather to co-suffer with the people of Elohim, than the temporal enjoyment of sin; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of the Messiah greater riches than the treasures in Misrayim: for he looked to the recompence. ²⁷ By trust he forsook Misrayim; not awestricken by the fury of the sovereign: for he persevered - as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By trust he did the pasach and the pouring of blood, lest he who destroys the firstborn, finger them. ²⁹ By trust they passed through the Reed sea as through dry: which the Misrayim took to test, and were swallowed. ³⁰ By trust the walls of Jericho fell, after they were surrounded seven days. ³¹ By trust Rachab the whore co-destructed not with them who distrusted, when she received the spies with shalom. ³² And what word I still? for the time fails me to declare about Gidon and also Baraq and Shimshon and Yipthach; also David and Shemu El and the prophets ³³ - who through trust: subdued sovereigndoms, worked justness, obtained pre-evangelisms, sealed the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the dynamis of fire, fled the edge of the sword, from frailty were empowered, became mighty in war, put down the encampments of others, ³⁵ women took their dead by resurrection, and others were tortured - not receiving redemption to obtain a better resurrection, ³⁶ and others took testings of mockings and scourgings - yes, still of bonds and guardhouses: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn apart, they were tested, deathified in murder by the sword, wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, falling behind - tribulated - vilified, ³⁸ of whom the cosmos was not worthy: wandering in wildernesses and mountains and grottos and caverns of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, witnessing through the trust, received not the pre-evangelism: ⁴⁰ Elohim having previously provided somewhat better for us - that they not completed/shalamed apart from us.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By [having] faith, Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. [And] because of his faith he was commended by God for being righteous, when God expressed approval of his offerings. By means of his faith, Abel still speaks [to us], even though he is dead. ⁵ By [having] faith, Enoch was taken [to be with God], so that he did not have to die. And he could not be found because God had taken him away. For he had been commended [by God] before he was taken away, that he had pleased God. [Note: The Hebrew of Gen. 5:24 says, “he walked with God”]. ⁶ And unless one has faith, it is impossible for him to be pleasing to God, for the person who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. ⁷ By [having] faith, when Noah was warned [by God] about conditions that had not yet been seen [i.e., regarding events of the coming Flood], he acted out of reverent concern [for God] by constructing a ship to save [i.e., rescue] his household [from the Flood waters]. By this [i.e., his faith which led to action], Noah condemned the world and inherited righteousness because of his faith. ⁸ By [having] faith, when Abraham was called [by God] to leave [his homeland] and go to a place he would later receive as an inheritance [i.e., Palestine], he obeyed God and went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By [having] faith, he became an alien in the foreign country that had been promised to him. He lived in tents, along with Isaac [his son] and Jacob [his grandson], who [also] were to receive the same inheritance he had been promised. ¹⁰ For he was looking forward to [living in] a city with [lasting] foundations, designed and built by God. [Note: This undoubtedly refers to heaven]. ¹¹ By [having] faith, Sarah herself received the ability to have children, even though she was [sterile, being] past the age of child-bearing, since she considered God faithful to His promise. [Note: Some translations consider “Abraham” to be the subject of this highly controversial verse. See Lightfoot, pages 222-225]. ¹² Therefore, from one man [Abraham], who was as good as dead [i.e., because of having a sterile wife], were born descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the [grains of] sand on the seashore. ¹³ These people [all] continued to have faith until they died, [even though] they had not obtained [all] the things God had promised, but had [only] seen them and welcomed them from a distance. And they had confessed to being strangers and aliens on earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it obvious that they are looking for a country of their own [i.e. heaven]. ¹⁵ And indeed, if they had remembered [with longing] the country they had left, they would have had the opportunity to return to it. ¹⁶ But instead, they longed for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By [having] faith, when Abraham was tested [by God], he offered Isaac [as a sacrifice]. [Even though] he had received the promises [of having many descendants], he was ready to offer his only conceived [and eventually born] son, ¹⁸ [even though] he had been told [by God, Gen. 21:12], “Your descendants will be traced through Isaac.” ¹⁹ [So], he reasoned that God was able to raise up [Isaac] from the dead, which, in a sense, he did receive him back [from the dead]. ²⁰ By [having] faith, Isaac pronounced a future blessing on Jacob and Esau. [See Gen. 27:26-40]. ²¹ By [having] faith, Jacob blessed each of Joseph’s sons just before he died, and bowed in worship [to God] while leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By [having] faith, when Joseph was about to die, he mentioned the Israelites’ departure [from Egypt] and gave [them] instructions concerning his bones [i.e., that they were to take them back to Palestine. See Gen. 50:25]. ²³ By [having] faith, Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born because they saw that he was a handsome child, and they were not afraid of the king’s decree [to destroy all male Hebrew children]. ²⁴ By [having] faith, when Moses was grown up, he refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ but chose rather to suffer mistreatment with God’s people [i.e., the Israelites] than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a brief time. ²⁶ He considered suffering ridicule for Christ’s sake to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking forward to his reward. ²⁷ By [having] faith, he left Egypt, not being afraid of the king’s anger, for he endured [all the rigors of wandering in the desert] because he could see the invisible God. ²⁸ By [having] faith, he established the Passover Festival [Note: This festival was first celebrated in Egypt by the fleeing Israelites, then observed annually in commemoration of that event], and had [lambs’] blood sprinkled [on the door jambs] to prevent the one who destroyed the firstborn children from touching them. [See Ex. 12:23]. ²⁹ By [having] faith, the Israelites passed [safely] through the Red Sea as if it were dry ground, but when the Egyptians attempted to do it, they were drowned. ³⁰ By [the people having] faith, the walls of Jericho fell in response to their marching around them for seven days. ³¹ By [having] faith, Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with the disobedient [inhabitants of Jericho] because she welcomed the [twelve] spies in peace. ³² And what more shall I say? For time would fail me if I were to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and [all] the prophets, ³³ who, by [having] faith, conquered kingdoms, practiced what was right, and obtained what was promised [by God]. They shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ they put out raging fires, and they escaped being killed by swords. They were strengthened when weak, became mighty in battle, and defeated foreign armies. ³⁵ Women received their dead [loved ones] back to life. Others were tortured but refused to be rescued, so they could obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And [still] others experienced mockings and floggings, and were even chained up and put in prison. ³⁷ They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were executed by the sword. They traveled around in sheepskin and goatskin clothing; they were destitute, afflicted and mistreated. ³⁸ (The world did not deserve such people). They wandered in deserts and mountains, [living] in caves and [even] holes in the ground. ³⁹ And all of these people were commended [by God] for their faith, yet did not receive [all of] what was promised to them, ⁴⁰ because God had planned to give us something better [than they got], so that they would not be complete without us. [Note: The idea here is that these faithful people of Old Testament times did not receive the fullest of blessings until Christ came to make them available to both them and us together].

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, because of which he was reported to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through it, he who died still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was transferred to not see death, and he was not found, because God transferred him. For before his removal he was reported to be pleasing to God. ⁶ And apart from faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is, and becomes a rewarder of those who search for him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely warned about things not yet seen, moved with awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became an heir of righteousness according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he anticipated the city that has the foundations, whose builder and architect is God. ¹¹ By faith even Sarah herself received power for conception of seed, and she gave birth beyond the time of age, because she considered him faithful who promised. ¹² And therefore from one man, and these things having become deadened, were begotten as the stars of the heaven for multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, countless. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things show that they are seeking a fatherland. ¹⁵ And if indeed they remembered that from which they came out, they would have had time to return. ¹⁶ But now they aspire for a superior one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered Isaac. And he who received the promises offered his only begotten son, ¹⁸ about whom it was said, The seed by thee will be called in Isaac. ¹⁹ Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau about things coming. ²¹ By faith Jacob, while dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, while perishing, remembered about the exodus of the sons of Israel, and commanded about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, after being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child well-formed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ having chosen rather to be mistreated with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin temporarily. ²⁶ Having esteemed the vilification of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he focused toward the recompense of reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not having feared the wrath of the king, for he persevered as seeing the invisible. ²⁸ By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, of which the Egyptians, having taken an attempt, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot was not destroyed with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I say further? For the time would fail me telling about Gideon, also Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who, through faith, conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the force of fire, escaped the jaw of the sword. Out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, bowed down armies of aliens. ³⁵ Women took hold of their dead from a resurrection, but others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, so that they might experience a superior resurrection. ³⁶ And others took a trial of mockings and scourgings, and moreover of bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were tempted, they died in murder by sword. They wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, restricted, tormented ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his gifts. And through faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God. ⁶ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in godly fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he lived in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he was looking forward to the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, because she considered him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from a distance, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. ¹⁴ For people who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ And if they had been thinking of that country from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, ¹⁸ of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your descendants be called." ¹⁹ He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he was at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites, and gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. ²⁶ He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them. ²⁹ By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies. ³² And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of justice, received promises, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, who became mighty in war, and put foreign armies to flight. ³⁵ Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy wandering in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. ³⁹ And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, ⁴⁰ because God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

WEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks. ⁵ By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God. ⁶ Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. ⁷ By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance.

15 G2532 G1487 If G3303 indeed G3421 they had been thinking G1565 of that G575 country from G3739 which G1831 they went out, G2192 they would have had G302 enough G2540 time G344 to return.

16 G1161 But G3570 now G3713 they desire G2909 a better G5124 country, that G2076 is, G2032 a heavenly G1352 one. Therefore G2316 God G1870 is G3756 not G1870 ashamed G846 of them, G1941 to be called G846 their G2316 God, G1063 for G2090 he has prepared G4172 a city G846 for them.

17 G4102 By faith, G11 Abraham, G3985 being tested, G4374 offered up G2464 Isaac. G2532 Yes, G324 he who had gladly received G1860 the promises G4374 was offering up G3439 his one and only son;

18 G4314 even he to G3739 whom G2980 it was said, G3754 G1722 "In G2464 Isaac G2564 will G4671 your G4690 seed G2564 be called;"

19 G3049 concluding G3754 that G2316 God G1415 is able G1453 to raise G1453 up G2532 even G1537 from G3498 the dead. G3850 Figuratively G2532 speaking, he also G2865 did receive G846 him G1537 back from G3498 the dead.

20 G4102 By faith, G2464 Isaac G2127 blessed G2384 Jacob G2532 and G2269 Esau, G4012 even concerning G3195 things to come.

21 G4102 By faith, G2384 Jacob, G599 when he was dying, G2127 blessed G1538 each G5207 of the sons G2501 of Joseph, G2532 and G4352 worshiped, G1909 leaning on G206 the top G4464 of G846 his G4464 staff.

22 G4102 By faith, G2501 Joseph, G5053 when his end G3421 was near, made mention G4012 of G1841 the departure G5207 of the children G2474 of Israel; G2532 and G1781 gave instructions G4012 concerning G846 his G3747 bones.

23 G4102 By faith, G3475 Moses, G1080 when he was born, G2928 was hidden G5150 for three months G5259 by G846 his G3962 parents, G1360 because G1492 they saw G791 that he was a beautiful G3813 child, G2532 and G5399 they were G3756 not G5399 afraid G1297 of G935 the king's G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith, G3475 Moses, G1096 when he had grown G3173 up, G720 refused G3004 to be called G5207 the son G2364 of G5328 Pharaoh's G2364 daughter,

25 G138 choosing G3123 rather G4778 to share ill treatment with G2316 God's G2992 people, G2228 than G2192 to enjoy G619 the pleasures G266 of sin G4340 for a time;

26 G2233 accounting G3680 the reproach G5547 of Christ G3173 greater G4149 riches G2344 than the treasures G1722 of G125 Egypt; G1063 for G578 he looked G1519 to G3405 the reward.

27 G4102 By faith, G2641 he left G125 Egypt, G3361 not G5399 fearing G2372 the wrath G935 of the king; G1063 for G2594 he endured, G5613 as G3708 seeing G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 By faith, G4160 he kept G3957 the Passover, G2532 and G4378 the sprinkling G2443 of the blood, G3645 that the destroyer G4416 of the firstborn G3361 should not G2345 touch G846 them.

29 G4102 By faith, G1224 they passed through G2281 the G2063 Red G2281 Sea G5613 as G1223 on G3584 dry G3739 land. When G124 the Egyptians G3984 tried G2983 to do G2666 so, they were swallowed up.

30 G4102 By faith, G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 fell down, G2944 after they had been encircled G1909 for G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith, G4460 Rahab G4204 the prostitute, G3756 didn't G4881 perish G4881 with G544 those who were disobedient, G1209 having received G2685 the spies G3326 in G1515 peace.

32 G5101 What G2089 more G3004 shall I G3004 say? G1063 For G5550 the time G1952 would fail G3165 me G1334 if I told G4012 of G1066 Gideon, G913 Barak, G4546 Samson, G2422 Jephthah, G1138 David, G4545 Samuel, G5037 and G4396 the prophets;

33 G3739 who, G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 subdued G932 kingdoms, G2038 worked G1343 out righteousness, G2013 obtained G1860 promises, G5420 stopped G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 quenched G1411 the power G4442 of fire, G5343 escaped G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword, G575 from G769 weakness G1743 were made strong, G1096 grew G2478 mighty G1722 in G4171 war, G245 and caused foreign G3925 armies G2827 to flee.

35 G1135 Women G2983 received G846 their G3498 dead G1537 by G386 resurrection. G243 Others G5178 were tortured, G3756 not G4327 accepting G629 their deliverance, G2443 that G5177 they might obtain G2909 a better G386 resurrection.

36 G1161 G2087 Others G2983 were G3984 tried G1701 by G1701 mocking G1161 and G3148 scourging, G2089 yes, G1161 moreover G1199 by bonds G2532 and G5438 imprisonment.

37 G3034 They were stoned. G4249 They were sawn apart. G3985 They were tempted. G5408 They were slain G1722 with G3162 the sword. G1722 They went around in G1192 sheep skins G1722 and G1722 in G122 goat G1192 skins; G5302 being destitute, G2346 afflicted, G2558 ill-treated

38 G3739 (of whom G2889 the world G2258 was G3756 not G514 worthy), G4105 wandering G1722 in G2047 deserts, G3735 mountains, G4693 caves, G2532 and G3692 the holes G1093 of the earth.

39 G3778 These G3956 all, G3140 having had testimony G1223 given to them through G4102 their faith, G3756 didn't G2865 receive G1860 the promise,

40 G2316 God G4265 having provided G5100 some G2909 better G5100 thing G4012 concerning G2257 us, G2443 so that G5565 apart G2257 from us G5048 they should G3361 not G5048 be made perfect.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith, Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested as righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and though he died he still speaks through it. ⁵ By faith, Hanoch was taken away, so that he would not see death, "and he was not found, because God took him away." For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. ⁷ By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared a box-shaped vessel for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith, he sojourned in a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith, even barren Sarah herself received power to conceive when she was past age, and gave birth, since she considered him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return. ¹⁶ Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac; and he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son; ¹⁸ even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;" ¹⁹ concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead. ²⁰ By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed over the top of his staff. ²² By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones. ²³ By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. ²⁴ By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time; ²⁶ considering the abuse suffered for the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward. ²⁷ By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. ²⁹ By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace. ³² And what more should I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets; ³³ who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee. ³⁵ Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were put to the test, they were killed with the sword. They went around in sheepskins and in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, mistreated ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to 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 speaks. ⁵ 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. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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 where he went. ⁹ 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: ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 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. 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. 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. ¹⁴ For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from where they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: why God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall your seed be called: ¹⁹ Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from where also he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 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. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 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: ³³ Who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. 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. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 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; ³⁸ (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

4 G4102 By faith G6 Abel G4374 offered G2316 to God G4119 a more excellent G2378 sacrifice G3844 than G2535 Cain, G3739 by which G3140 he obtained G3140 witness G1342 that he was righteous, G2316 God G3140 testifying G1435 of his gifts: G599 and by it he being dead G2089 yet G2980 speaks.

5 G4102 By faith G1802 Enoch G3346 was translated G1492 that he should not see G2288 death; G2147 and was not found, G1360 because G2316 God G3346 had translated G4253 him: for before G3331 his translation G3140 he had this testimony, G2100 that he pleased G2316 God.

6 G5565 But without G4102 faith G102 it is impossible G2100 to please G4334 him: for he that comes G2316 to God G1163 must G4100 believe G3406 that he is, and that he is a rewarder G1567 of them that diligently G1567 seek him.

7 G4102 By faith G3575 Noah, G5537 being warned G991 of God of things not seen G3369 as yet, G2125 moved G2125 with fear, G2680 prepared G2787 an ark G4991 to the saving G3624 of his house; G3739 by the which G2632 he condemned G2889 the world, G1096 and became G2818 heir G1343 of the righteousness G4102 which is by faith.

8 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G2564 when he was called G1831 to go G1519 out into G5117 a place G3739 which G3195 he should G3195 after G2983 receive G2817 for an inheritance, G5219 obeyed; G1831 and he went G1987 out, not knowing G4226 where G2064 he went.

9 G4102 By faith G3939 he sojourned G1093 in the land G1860 of promise, G245 as in a strange G2730 country, dwelling G4633 in tabernacles G2464 with Isaac G2384 and Jacob, G4789 the heirs G1860 with him of the same promise:

10 G1551 For he looked G4172 for a city G2192 which has G2310 foundations, G3739 whose G5079 builder G1217 and maker G2316 is God.

11 G4102 Through faith G2532 also G4564 Sara G846 herself G2983 received G1411 strength G2602 to conceive G4690 seed, G5088 and was delivered G5088 of a child G3844 when she was past G2244 age, G1893 because G2233 she judged G4103 him faithful G1861 who had promised.

12 G1352 Therefore G1080 sprang G2532 there even G1520 of one, G3499 and him as good as dead, G798 so many as the stars G3772 of the sky G4128 in multitude, G285 and as the sand G3588 which G2281 is by the sea G5491 shore G382 innumerable.

13 G3778 These G3956 all G599 died G4102 in faith, G2983 not having received G1860 the promises, G1492 but having seen G4207 them afar G3982 off, and were persuaded G782 of them, and embraced G3670 them, and confessed G3581 that they were strangers G3927 and pilgrims G1909 on G1093 the earth.

14 G3004 For they that say G5108 such G1718 things declare G1718 plainly G1934 that they seek G3968 a country.

15 G3303 And truly, G1487 if G3421 they had been mindful G3739 of that country from where G1831 they came G2192 out, they might have G2192 had G2540 opportunity G344 to have returned.

16 G3570 But now G3713 they desire G2909 a better G2032 country, that is, an heavenly: G1352 why G2316 God G1870 is not ashamed G1941 to be called G2316 their God: G2090 for he has prepared G4172 for them a city.

17 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G3985 when he was tried, G4374 offered G2464 up Isaac: G324 and he that had received G1860 the promises G4374 offered G3439 up his only G3439 begotten son,

18 G3739 Of whom G2980 it was said, G2464 That in Isaac G4690 shall your seed G2564 be called:

19 G3049 Accounting G2316 that God G1415 was able G1453 to raise G2532 him up, even G3498 from the dead; G3606 from where G2532 also G2865 he received G3850 him in a figure.

20 G4102 By faith G2464 Isaac G2127 blessed G2384 Jacob G2269 and Esau G4012 concerning G3195 things to come.

21 G4102 By faith G2384 Jacob, G599 when he was a dying, G2127 blessed G1538 both G5207 the sons G2501 of Joseph; G4352 and worshipped, G206 leaning on the top G4464 of his staff.

22 G4102 By faith G2501 Joseph, G5053 when he died, G3421 made G3421 mention G1841 of the departing G5207 of the children G2474 of Israel; G1781 and gave commandment G4012 concerning G3747 his bones.

23 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1080 when he was born, G2928 was hid G5150 three G5150 months G3962 of his parents, G1360 because G1492 they saw G791 he was a proper G3813 child; G5399 and they were not afraid G935 of the king’s G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1096 when he was come G1096 to years, G3173 G720 refused G3004 to be called G5207 the son G5328 of Pharaoh’s G2364 daughter;

25 G138 Choosing G3123 rather G4778 to suffer G4778 affliction G2992 with the people G2316 of God, G2228 than G2192 to enjoy G619 G2237 the pleasures G266 of sin G4340 for a season;

26 G2233 Esteeming G3680 the reproach G5547 of Christ G3187 greater G4149 riches G2344 than the treasures G125 in Egypt: G578 for he had respect G3405 to the recompense G3405 of the reward.

27 G4102 By faith G2641 he forsook G125 Egypt, G5399 not fearing G2372 the wrath G935 of the king: G2594 for he endured, G3708 as seeing G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 Through faith G4160 he kept G3957 the passover, G4378 and the sprinkling G129 of blood, G2443 lest G3361 G3645 he that destroyed G4416 the firstborn G2345 should touch them.

29 G4102 By faith G1224 they passed G1224 through G2281 the Red G2281 sea G3584 as by dry G3739 land: which G124 the Egyptians G3984 assaying G2983 G2666 to do were drowned.

30 G4102 By faith G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 fell G2944 down, after they were compassed G2944 about G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith G4204 the harlot G4460 Rahab G4881 perished G544 not with them that believed G1209 not, when she had received G2685 the spies G1515 with peace.

32 G5101 And what G2089 shall I more G3004 say? G5550 for the time G1952 would fail G1334 me to tell G1066 of Gedeon, G913 and of Barak, G4546 and of Samson, G2422 and of Jephthae; G1138 of David G5037 also, G4545 and Samuel, G4396 and of the prophets:

33 G3739 Who G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 subdued G932 kingdoms, G2038 worked G1343 righteousness, G2013 obtained G1860 promises, G5420 stopped G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions.

34 G4570 Quenched G1411 the violence G4442 of fire, G5343 escaped G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword, G769 out of weakness G1743 were made G1743 strong, G1096 waxed G2478 valiant G4171 in fight, G2827 turned G5437 to flight G3925 the armies G245 of the aliens.

35 G1135 Women G2983 received G3498 their dead G386 raised G386 to life again: G243 and others G5178 were tortured, G4327 not accepting G629 deliverance; G5177 that they might obtain G2909 a better G386 resurrection:

36 G2087 And others G2983 had G3984 trial G1701 of cruel mockings G3148 and scourgings, G1161 yes, G1161 moreover G1199 of bonds G5438 and imprisonment:

37 G3034 They were stoned, G4249 they were sawn G4249 asunder, G3985 were tempted, G1722 were slain G3162 with the sword: G4022 they wandered G4022 about G3374 in sheepskins G122 and goatskins; G1192 G5302 being destitute, G2346 afflicted, G2558 tormented;

38 G3739 (Of whom G2889 the world G514 was not worthy: G4105 ) they wandered G2047 in deserts, G3735 and in mountains, G4693 and in dens G3692 and caves G1093 of the earth.

KJC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 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 speaks. ⁵ 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. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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 to where he went. ⁹ 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: ¹⁰ For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 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. 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. 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. ¹⁴ For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from where they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall your seed be called: ¹⁹ Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 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. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 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: ³³ Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. ³⁴ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, grown valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 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; ³⁸ (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserted places, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

4 G4102 By faith G6 Abel G4374 offered G2316 unto God G4119 a more excellent G2378 sacrifice G3844 than G2535 Cain, G1223 by G3739 which G3140 he obtained witness G1511 that he was G1342 righteous, G2316 God G3140 testifying G1909 of G846 his G1435 gifts: G2532 and G1223 by G846 it G599 he being dead G2089 yet G2980 speaks.

5 G4102 By faith G1802 Enoch G3346 was translated G3361 that G1492 he should G3361 not G1492 see G2288 death; G2532 and G2147 was G3756 not G2147 found, G1360 because G2316 God G3346 had translated G846 him: G1063 for G4253 before G846 his G3331 translation G3140 he had this testimony, G2100 that he pleased G2316 God.

6 G1161 But G5565 without G4102 faith G102 it is impossible G2100 to please G1063 him: for G4334 he that comes G2316 to God G1163 must G4100 believe G3754 that G2076 he is, G2532 and G1096 that he is G3406 a rewarder G1567 of them that diligently seek G846 him.

7 G4102 By faith G3575 Noah, G5537 being warned of God G4012 of G991 things G3369 not G991 seen G3369 as yet, G2125 moved with fear, G2680 prepared G2787 an ark G1519 to G4991 the saving G3624 of G846 his G3624 house; G1223 by G3739 which G2632 he condemned G2889 the world, G2532 and G1096 became G2818 heir G1343 of the righteousness G2596 which is by G4102 faith.

8 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G2564 when he was called G1831 to go out G1519 into G5117 a place G3739 which G3195 he should later G2983 receive G1519 for G2817 an inheritance, G5219 obeyed; G2532 and G1831 he went out, G3361 not G1987 knowing G4226 where G2064 he went.

9 G4102 By faith G3939 he stayed G1519 in G1093 the land G1860 of promise, G5613 as G245 in a strange country, G2730 living G1722 in G4633 tabernacles G3326 with G2464 Isaac G2532 and G2384 Jacob, G4789 the heirs with him G846 of the same G1860 promise:

10 G1063 For G1551 he looked for G4172 a city G2192 which has G2310 foundations, G3739 whose G5079 builder G2532 and G1217 maker G2316 is God.

11 G4102 Through faith G2532 also G4564 Sara G846 herself G2983 received G1411 strength G1519 to G2602 conceive G4690 seed, G2532 and G5088 was delivered of a child G3844 when she was past G2540 G2244 age, G1893 because G2233 she judged G1861 him G4103 faithful G1861 who had promised.

12 G1352 Therefore G1080 was born there G2532 even G575 by G1520 one, G2532 and G5023 him G3499 as good as dead, G2531 so many as G798 the stars G3772 of the sky G4128 in multitude, G2532 and G5616 as G285 the sand G3588 which is G3844 by G2281 the sea G5491 shore G382 innumerable.

13 G3778 These G3956 all G599 died G2596 in G4102 faith, G3361 not G2983 having received G1860 the promises, G235 but G1492 having seen G846 them G4207 afar off, G2532 and G3982 were persuaded of G2532 them, and G782 embraced G2532 them, and G3670 confessed G3754 that G1526 they were G3581 strangers G2532 and G3927 pilgrims G1909 on G1093 the earth.

14 G1063 For G3004 they that say G5108 such things G1718 declare plainly G3754 that G1934 they seek G3968 a country.

15 G2532 And G3303 truly, G1487 if G3421 they had been mindful G1565 of that G575 country from G3739 from where G1831 they came out, G2192 they might have had G302 G2540 opportunity G344 to have returned.

16 G1161 But G3570 now G3713 they desire G2909 a better G5124 country, that G2076 is, G2032 a heavenly: G1352 therefore G2316 God G1870 is G3756 not G1870 ashamed G846 G1941 to be called G846 their G2316 God: G1063 for G2090 he has prepared G846 for them G4172 a city.

17 G4102 By faith G11 Abraham, G3985 when he was tested, G4374 offered up G2464 Isaac: G2532 and G324 he that had received G1860 the promises G4374 offered up G3439 his only fathered son,

18 G4314 Of G3739 whom G2980 it was said, G3754 That G1722 in G2464 Isaac G2564 shall G4671 your G4690 seed G2564 be called:

19 G3049 Reckoning G3754 that G2316 God G1415 was able G1453 to raise G1453 him up, G2532 even G1537 from G3498 the dead; G3606 from from where G2532 also G2865 he received G846 him G1722 in G3850 a figure.

20 G4102 By faith G2464 Isaac G2127 blessed G2384 Jacob G2532 and G2269 Esau G4012 concerning G3195 things to come.

21 G4102 By faith G2384 Jacob, G599 when he was dying, G2127 blessed G1538 both G5207 the sons G2501 of Joseph; G2532 and G4352 worshiped, G1909 leaning upon G206 the top G4464 of G846 his G4464 staff.

22 G4102 By faith G2501 Joseph, G5053 when he died, G3421 made mention G4012 of G1841 the departing G5207 of the sons G2474 of Israel; G2532 and G1781 gave commandment G4012 concerning G846 his G3747 bones.

23 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1080 when he was born, G2928 was hidden G5150 three months G5259 by G846 his G3962 parents, G1360 because G1492 they saw G791 he was a proper G3813 child; G2532 and G5399 they were G3756 not G5399 afraid G1297 of G935 the king's G1297 commandment.

24 G4102 By faith G3475 Moses, G1096 when he had come G3173 to age, G720 refused G3004 to be called G5207 the son G2364 of G5328 Pharaoh's G2364 daughter;

25 G138 Choosing G3123 rather G4778 to suffer affliction with G2992 the people G2316 of God, G2228 than G2192 to enjoy G619 the pleasures G266 of sin G4340 for a season;

26 G2233 Esteeming G3680 the reproach G5547 of Christ G3173 greater G4149 riches G2344 than the treasures G1722 in G125 Egypt: G1063 for G578 he had respect G1519 unto G3405 the recompense of the reward.

27 G4102 By faith G2641 he forsook G125 Egypt, G3361 not G5399 fearing G2372 the wrath G935 of the king: G1063 for G2594 he endured, G5613 as G3708 seeing G517 him who is invisible.

28 G4102 Through faith G4160 he kept G3957 the passover, G2532 and G4378 the sprinkling G2443 of blood, G3361 lest G3645 he that destroyed G4416 the firstborn G2345 should touch G846 them.

29 G4102 By faith G1224 they passed through G2281 the G2063 Red G2281 sea G5613 as G1223 by G3584 dry G3739 land: which G124 the Egyptians G3984 attempting G2983 to do G2666 were drowned.

30 G4102 By faith G5038 the walls G2410 of Jericho G4098 fell down, G2944 after they were surrounded G1909 for G2033 seven G2250 days.

31 G4102 By faith G4204 the prostitute G4460 Rahab G4881 perished G3756 not G4881 with G544 them that believed not, G1209 when she had received G2685 the spies G3326 with G1515 peace.

32 G2532 And G5101 what G3004 shall I G2089 more G3004 say? G1063 For G5550 the time G1952 would fail G3165 me G1334 to tell G4012 of G1066 Gedeon, G5037 and G913 of Barak, G2532 and G4546 of Samson, G2532 and G2422 of Jephthae; G1138 of David G5037 also, G2532 and G4545 Samuel, G2532 and G4396 of the prophets:

33 G3739 Who G1223 through G4102 faith G2610 subdued G932 kingdoms, G2038 did G1343 righteousness, G2013 obtained G1860 promises, G5420 stopped G4750 the mouths G3023 of lions,

34 G4570 Quenched G1411 the violence G4442 of fire, G5343 escaped G4750 the edge G3162 of the sword, G575 out of G769 weakness G1743 were made strong, G1096 grew G2478 valiant G1722 in G4171 fight, G2827 turned to flight G3925 the armies G245 of the aliens.

35 G1135 Women G2983 received G846 their G3498 dead G1537 G386 raised to life again: G1161 and G243 others G5178 were tortured, G3756 not G4327 accepting G629 deliverance; G2443 that G5177 they might obtain G2909 a better G386 resurrection:

36 G1161 And G2087 others G2983 had G3984 trial G1701 of G1701 cruel mockings G2532 and G3148 scourgings, G2089 Yes, G1161 moreover G1199 by bonds G2532 and G5438 imprisonment:

37 G3034 They were stoned, G4249 they were sawn asunder, G3985 were tempted, G1722 were slain G5408 G3162 with the sword: G4022 they wandered about G1722 in G3374 sheepskins G1722 and G122 goat G1192 skins; G5302 being destitute, G2346 afflicted, G2558 tormented;

38 G3739 (Of whom G2889 the world G2258 was G3756 not G514 worthy:) G4105 they wandered G1722 in G2047 deserts, G2532 and G3735 in mountains, G2532 and G4693 in dens G2532 and G3692 caves G1093 of the earth.

39 G3778 And these G3956 all, G3140 having obtained a good report G1223 through G4102 faith, G2865 received G3756 not G1860 the promise:

40 G2316 God G4265 having provided G5100 some G2909 better G5100 thing G4012 for G2257 us, G2443 that G5565 they without G2257 us G5048 should G3361 not G5048 be made perfect.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, does yet speak. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated -- not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to -- that he had pleased God well, ⁶ and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it benefits him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becomes a rewarder. ⁷ By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he does go; ⁹ by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise, ¹⁰ for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise; ¹² therefore, also from one were begotten -- and that of one who had become dead -- as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that is by the sea-shore -- the innumerable. ¹³ In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted them, and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth, ¹⁴ for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country; ¹⁵ and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return, ¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham has offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises, ¹⁸ of whom it was said -- 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to you;' ¹⁹ reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive him. ²⁰ By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau; ²¹ by faith Jacob dying -- each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff; ²² by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command. ²³ By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king; ²⁴ by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh, ²⁵ having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season, ²⁶ greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward; ²⁷ by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One -- he endured; ²⁸ by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up; ³⁰ by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days; ³¹ by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive, ³⁶ and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins -- being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth; ³⁹ and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ ¶ 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 speaks. ⁵ 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. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please God; for he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, having received revelation of things not seen as yet, with great care prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and was made heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, hearkened to go out into the place which he should afterwards receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he went. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the promised land, as in a strange country, dwelling in booths with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sara herself being sterile received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she believed him to be faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore there sprang 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. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off and believing them and embracing them and confessing that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those that say such things declare plainly that they seek their native country. ¹⁵ And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came out, they might have had time to have returned. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one; therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac, and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called, ¹⁹ accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence he also received him in a figure. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning what they should become. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, as he died, made mention of the departing of the sons of Israel, and gave a commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover and the sprinkling of the blood lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempted to do and were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days. ³¹ By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish together with the disobedient, having received the spies with peace. 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, ³³ who by faith won kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered from infirmities, were made valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of foreign enemies; ³⁵ women received their dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ and others experienced cruel mockings and scourgings, and added to this, bonds and imprisonment; ³⁷ they were stoned; they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; poor, afflicted, mistreated, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy); they wandered in deserts and in mountains and in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, approved by testimony of faith, received not the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying concerning his gifts; and through it, although he died, he still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, "and he was not found, because God translated him"; for before his translation he had obtained witness that he was pleasing to God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please God, for it is necessary for the one approaching God to believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. ⁷ By faith Noah, having being warned By God concerning the things not yet seen, being reverent, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go forth to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he migrated into a land of promise as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he waited for the city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also received power for conception of seed, and she bore a child past the normal age, because she regarded Him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore even from one man they were begotten, and him as good as dead, just as the stars of the sky in multitude, and innumerable as the sand by the seashore. ¹³ These all died according to faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off and welcoming them, and confessing that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ For those saying such things make evident that they seek a fatherland. ¹⁵ And indeed if they had remembered that land from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to turn back. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, had offered up Isaac, and he that received the promises offered up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ of whom it was spoken, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," ¹⁹ considering that even from the dead, God was able to raise him up, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he was dying, remembered concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw a beautiful child; and they did not fear the edict of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have the temporary pleasure of sin, ²⁶ regarding the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing the Unseen One. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith the prositute Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. ³² And what more should I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, both Barak and Samson and Jephthah, both David and Samuel and the prophets: ³³ who through faith overcame kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in battle, turned to flight the armies of foreigners. ³⁵ Women received their dead back by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, in order that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Still others took a trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and of prison. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tried, they were slain, being murdered with the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, being in want, being afflicted, being ill treated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having obtained witness through their faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than did Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying concerning his gifts; and by means of it he still speaks, even though being dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was transferred so as not to see death, and could not be found because God had translated him; before his translation he had obtained witness that he was pleasing to God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to please Him, because the one approaching God must believe that He exists and that He becomes a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, upon being called to go forth to the place that he would receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went, though not being acquainted with where he was going. ⁹ By faith he migrated into the land of promise as into a foreign country, dwelling in tents, along with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he was waiting expectantly for the city with the real foundations, whose designer and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the normal age, since she judged Him faithful who had promised. ¹² And so, from one man, actually an impotent, were begotten descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and as countless as the sand on the seashore. ¹³ These all died believing—not having received the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, thus confessing that they were aliens and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. ¹⁵ If they were actually remembering that land from which they had departed, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ Instead they are aspiring to a better home—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; in fact He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, upon being tested, offered up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his only begotten, ¹⁸ of whom it had been said, “Through Isaac will your seed be reckoned,” ¹⁹ calculating that God was indeed able to raise him from the dead; from whence in fact he did receive him, figuratively speaking. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshipped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, near the end, thought of the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses was hidden for three months by his parents, after he was born, because they saw he was a fine child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to be maltreated along with God’s people than to have the temporary pleasure of sin, ²⁶ considering the reproach of Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; because he was looking ahead to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt behind, not fearing the king’s rage, because he persevered as though seeing Him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry ground, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith the prostitute Rahab, having received the spies in peace, did not perish with the disobedient. ³² And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell about Gideon, about Barak and Samson and Jephtha, about David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, closed lions’ mouths, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in battle, put to flight foreign armies. ³⁵ Women received their dead back by resurrection; while others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, so that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Still others were tried by mockings and scourgings, and even by chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were tempted, they were murdered by sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, mistreated ³⁸ —of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground. ³⁹ Now all these did not receive the promise, though having been approved through faith, ⁴⁰ God having planned something better for us, so that they should not be perfected without us.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ In faith, by trust, with loyal confidence and to express faithful allegiance, Abel offered to God much more of a sacrifice than (or: compared to) Cain, through which he was given witness (a testimony) to be one in accord with the Way pointed out, with fairness and equity in rightwised relationship (a just one), God's continuous witnessing [being] upon his gifts [with other MSS: a continual testimony upon his gifts, by and in God]; and through it [i.e., faith and God's testimony] he, being dead, is still continuously speaking. ⁵ In faith, by trust, with confidence and for loyal allegiance, Enoch was transported (transferred; translated; changed to be in another place), pertaining to the [situation] to not see death (to not behold, perceive or observe a death; or: = to not experience death), and he continued not being found, because God transported him. You see, before his transport (transfer; change of place), he had received testimony (or: is attested) to have pleased God well. ⁶ Now apart from faith, trust, confidence and loyal allegiance, [one is] powerless (or: unable) to please [God] well. It is necessary and binding for the person habitually approaching God to believe (to be convinced and trust) that He is (or: that He exists), and that He habitually comes to be (or: becomes) the One who pays back wages (or: gives away rewards) to, in and for those folks repeatedly (or: constantly) seeking Him out (or: seeking from out of Him). ⁷ In faith, by trust, with confidence and loyal allegiance, Noah, being instructed (or: being managed in public affairs) concerning those things as yet not seen, acting cautiously (or: receiving carefully; being shown [as] one who is taking hold well), prepared (made ready; furnished and equipped) an ark – [leading] into a deliverance (a rescue; a keeping safe) of his house – through which he made a corresponding evaluation and a commensurate decision about the aggregate of humanity (or: separated down the secular world; condemns the System; makes a judgment which falls in line with and follows the pattern of the ordered arrangement) and came to be an heir (an enjoyer of an allotment) of fair and equitable dealings (of justice and rightwised relationships in accord with the Way pointed out; also: = of covenant inclusion) down from faith, which is in line with trust and is in the sphere of convinced loyalty. ⁸ In loyal faith, by trusting allegiance and with confident faithfulness, Abraham obeyed (humbly listened and submissively paid attention, under [God]), continuing to be called to go out into the place which he was, and continued being, about to take in hand (or: receive) – into an inheritance (an enjoyment of an allotment). And he went out not presently putting his thoughts on (or: not being versed in or acquainted with) where he was progressively going. ⁹ In faith, by trust, with confident loyal allegiance, he sojourned (resided as an alien in a foreign country; lived alongside as a temporary inhabitant) [settling] into the land of the Promise as not his own (as belonging to another), dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he continued taking with the hand from out of (or: reaching in and receiving, then taking away from within) the city continuously having the foundations – whose Craftsman (or: Technician; Artisan) and skilled Worker for the people (or: Producer; Architect) [is] God. ¹¹ In faith, by trust, with confidence and for loyal allegiance, also, Sarah herself – being sterile – received (or: laid hold of) power and ability unto a conception (a depositing; founding; casting down) of seed (= offspring), even beyond [the] fertile season of maturity (full age and prime of life), since a Faithful, Loyal and Believable One – the One promising – took the lead (led the way; presided; or, an alternate meaning of hgeomai yields: since she regarded the Promiser trustworthy and believable), ¹² on which account, also, were born from one [couple] – and these of one having been deadened – [people] corresponding to the stars of the heaven (or: sky) for fullness of multitude, and as the sand beside the lip (shore) of the sea: the innumerable. [Gen. 15:5-6] ¹³ Down from faith (or: In line with confidence; Corresponding to trust; In the sphere of loyal allegiance and faithfulness) all these folks died off, not taking hold of (or: receiving; [other MSS: not being ones carrying off to themselves for kindly keeping]) the promises, but still, after seeing them forward at a distance, and drawing them to themselves and clinging to them, even speaking alike (saying the same thing; confessing in verbal agreement) that they are, and continue being, strangers and sojourners (or: foreigners and alien residents living in a foreign place) upon the land (or: earth). ¹⁴ For those (or: people) constantly saying such things are continuously shining within because (or: are causing to clearly appear that) they are habitually seeking upon (or: in earnest seeking for) a father-land (a land of the Father). ¹⁵ And if, indeed, they were still being mindful of and continued remembering that from which they came forth (or: went out) they would have continued having a fitting season (situation; occasion) to bend back up again (or: return), ¹⁶ yet now they are continuously stretching themselves out in order to touch a superior (stronger and better) one: this is one belonging to the superior-heaven (or: that is, pertaining to the One upon the atmosphere; or: this exists being one from the added, superimposed heaven). Wherefore God is habitually not ashamed of them, to be called upon [as] their God. You see, He prepared (made ready) a city for (or: by; with; among) them. ¹⁷ By faith, in trust and with confidence, Abraham, being progressively tried (or: being repeatedly tested for loyal allegiance) had presented and handed-over Isaac; even the one taking up and receiving the promises back again, began offering the only-begotten. ¹⁸ [He] toward whom it was spoken that, "In Isaac a seed shall continue being called (or: an offspring continue being summoned) for (to; in; by) you," [Gen. 21:12] ¹⁹ was logically reasoning and considering (reckoning; figuring; counting on) that God has power and is able to repeatedly arouse even out from among dead folks – whence also, in a parable, he took him back into keeping (or: he recovered him). ²⁰ In faith, by trust, with confidence and for faithfulness, also, Isaac spoke well of (or: blessed) Jacob and Esau concerning impending things. ²¹ In faith, by trust, with confident faithfulness and for loyal allegiance, Jacob, when dying away, spoke well of (or: blessed) each of the sons of Joseph, and kissed his hand toward [them] (or: worshiped; or: showed respect), [leaning] upon the top of his staff. ²² In faith, by trust, with confidence and with loyalty, Joseph, finishing (ending; completing his course; reaching the goal of his destiny), called to mind (was mindful) concerning a way out (an exodus) of the sons of Israel, and imparted instructions for the goal, concerning his bones. ²³ In faith, by trust, with confidence and for loyal allegiance, Moses, being born, was hidden three months by his parents (or: fathers), because they saw (perceived) the little boy [was] belonging to a city (well-bred; well-formed, genteel), and they were not frightened by the effect of the mandate of the king. ²⁴ In faith, by trust, with confidence and for loyal allegiance, Moses, coming to be great (= important), refused (denies; disclaims; rejects; disowned) to be declared (or: termed) a son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing for himself (taking to himself) more (in preference; rather) to constantly encounter adversity and ill-treatment along with God's People, than to have a temporary (toward a limited period of time marked by a suitableness of circumstances) enjoyment and pleasure involved with falling short of the goal (which are a failure; that originates with error; characteristic of missing of the target; of sin), ²⁶ considering the reproach associated with being the anointed one (or: pertaining to the Christ; or: = of Israel [at that time]) [to be] greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he began, and continued, looking away and giving his attention unto the reward (or: the discharge of wages). ²⁷ In faith, by trust, with confidence and for faithfulness, he left Egypt behind, not fearing the rushing fury (violent breathing, rage and angry passion) of the king, for he was strong and stout as continually seeing the invisible (or: the Unseen One). ²⁸ In faith, by trust, with confident loyalty and for trustworthy allegiance, he had performed (or: has created so that it now stands as an institution) the Passover and the pouring of the blood, so that the One presently destroying (the Exterminator of) the first-born of people and animals would (or: could) not touch or come in contact with them. ²⁹ In faith, by trust, with confidence and in loyal allegiance, they walked through the Red Sea as through dry land – [whereas] the Egyptians, upon taking a trial of (or: making an attempt at) which, were gulped (or: swallowed) down. ³⁰ In faith, by confidence, and with trust mixed with loyal allegiance, the wall of Jericho suddenly fell, after being encircled upon and surrounded [for] seven days. ³¹ In faith, by confidence, with trust and for loyal allegiance, Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed or lost with those being unpersuaded (or: incompliant; [p46 reads: those not having faith, trust or loyalty]), having welcomingly received and embraced the scouts (or: spies) with peace. ³² And so, what am I yet presently saying? For the time shall fail me, while progressively leading throughout and relating concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and the prophets, ³³ who through faith, trust and confident loyalty conquered (violently struggled and fought-down) kingdoms, worked a fair and equitable dealing (justice in covenant participation of the Way pointed out), hit right on target with regard to (thus: experienced and obtained) promises, fenced in (blocked; closed up) mouths of lions; ³⁴ extinguished [the] power (quenched [the] ability) of fire, escaped mouths (= edge) of [the] sword; were empowered (enabled), moving away from a [state of] of weakness (or infirmity); were made to be (were caused to become) strong ones in the midst of war (or: combat; battle); they caused battle lines of foreigners to bend (or: caused encampments of aliens to bow down; wheeled [the] ranks belonging to [the] armies of others); ³⁵ women took with the hand their dead folks from out of a resurrection (or: wives received their dead ones out of the midst of a rising-again). Yet others were beaten to death with rods (or: drummed upon), not receiving (or: accepting; taking) toward (or: with a view to) themselves (= refusing) the releasing away (liberation; setting free) procured by payment of a ransom, so that they may hit the target of (or: attain) a superior (stronger and better) resurrection. ³⁶ But different ones took a trial (or: received a test) of mockings (scoffings), and of scourgings, and further, of bonds and imprisonment (= put in chains and thrown in jail). ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut in two with a saw, they were put to the proof (tried; tested), they passed away in a slaughter (or: by murder) with sword, they went around (wandered) in sheepskins, in goat skins, continuously being behind (being in want; being in the rear), being constantly pressed (squeezed; afflicted), habitually being held in the bad (being maltreated; having it bad) – ³⁸ of whom the System (the ordered arrangement; the world or culture, secular society, religions and government) was not worthy (was not of equal value) – being continually deceived (led astray; caused to wander) in deserts and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth (or: ground). ³⁹ And yet all these folks, being given testimony (being attested by witnesses) through their faith, trust, confidence and loyal allegiance, did not at any point bring to themselves (or: acquire) God's Promise (the promise of and from God; the Promise, which is God), ⁴⁰ He Himself foreseeing (looking ahead of time and planning) something superior (stronger and better) concerning us, so that they would not be made perfect (brought to the destined goal; made complete; finished; made mature) apart from us.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. Through this he was commended as righteous. God testified about his gifts. Thus through faith he still speaks even though he is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was moved (transferred) (removed) so that he would not see death. He was not found, because God had moved him away. Before he was moved away he saw that he had pleased God well. (Genesis 5:24) ⁶ Without faith it is impossible to please God. He who comes to God must believe that he is and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not seen as yet, moved with godly respect. He prepared an ark to save his house. By his faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith. ⁸ By faith, when Abraham was called, he obeyed. He went to a place that he was to receive for an inheritance. He went even though he did not know where he was going. ⁹ By faith he became an alien in the Promised Land. It was not his land. He lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob. They were heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ He looked for the city having real foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah received strength to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who promised. ¹² This was to come from one man and him as good as dead. There were born children, as many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as uncountable as the sand by the seashore. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar. They confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ¹⁴ Those who say such things declare that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they came, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Because of this, God is not ashamed to be called their God. He has prepared a city for them! ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. He that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son! ¹⁸ It was said: »In Isaac your descendants will be called.« ¹⁹ Abraham reasoned that God is able to raise him from the dead. So he figured he would receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph. He worshipped while leaning upon the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel. Then he gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents. They saw he was a beautiful child and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. ²⁵ He chose to share the bad treatment with the people of God, rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. ²⁶ He considered the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. He looked intently (respectfully) for the payment of the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king. He endured, by seeing him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were on dry land. The Egyptians tried and were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with the disobedient, after she welcomed the spies in peace. ³² What more shall I say? For the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who through faith subdued kingdoms, affected righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, and turned to flight foreign armies. ³⁵ Women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection: ³⁶ And others had trial of cruel mocking and scourging and bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented. ³⁸ The world was not worthy of them! They wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise. ⁴⁰ God provided something better for us that they might not be made perfect without us.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did, and by faith he was declared to be righteous, since God himself accepted his offerings. And by faith he continues to speak, even though he is dead.
⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away without experiencing death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he won approval as one who pleased God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.
⁷ By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, reverently prepared an ark to save his family, and by faith he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes by faith.
⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
⁹ By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who also inherited the same promise, ¹⁰ because he was waiting for the city with permanent foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
¹¹ By faith Sarah, even though she was old and barren, received the strength to conceive, because she was convinced that the one who had made the promise was faithful. ¹² Abraham was as good as dead, yet from this one man came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
¹³ All these people died having faith. They did not receive the things that were promised, yet they saw them in the distant future and welcomed them, acknowledging that they were strangers and foreigners on earth. ¹⁴ For people who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own. ¹⁵ If they had been thinking about what they had left behind, they would have had an opportunity to go back. ¹⁶ Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he has prepared a city for them.
¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac—he who had received the promises was about to offer his unique son in sacrifice, ¹⁸ about whom it had been said, “It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you.” ¹⁹ Abraham was certain that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did get Isaac back in this way.
²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.
²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons “and worshipped while leaning on the top of his staff.”
²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelis and gave them instructions about burying his bones.
²³ By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and were not afraid of the king’s order.
²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ because he preferred being mistreated with God’s people to enjoying the pleasures of sin for a short time. ²⁶ He thought that being insulted for the sake of the Messiah was of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, without being afraid of the king’s anger, and he persevered because he saw the one who is invisible.
²⁸ By faith he established the Passover and the sprinkling of blood to keep the destroyer of the firstborn from touching the people.
²⁹ By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it were dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do this, they were drowned.
³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.
³¹ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies with a greeting of peace.
³² And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell you about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. ³³ Through faith they conquered kingdoms, administered justice, received promises, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ put out raging fires, escaped death by the sword, found strength in weakness, became powerful in battle, and routed foreign armies. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised back to life. Other people were brutally tortured, but refused to be ransomed, so that they might gain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Still others endured taunts and floggings, and even chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned to death, sawed in half, and killed with swords. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins. They were needy, oppressed, and mistreated. ³⁸ The world wasn’t worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and from caves to holes in the ground.
³⁹ All these people won approval for their faith but they did not receive what was promised, ⁴⁰ since God had planned something better for us, so that they would not be perfected without us.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, by which he was approved that he was righteous, because* God approved him for his gifts, and through it* he still speaks, although he* is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up, so that he did not experience death, and he was not found, because God took him up. For before his removal, he had been approved _⌊as having been pleasing_⌋* to God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and is a rewarder of those who seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, having been warned about things not yet seen, out of reverence constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family, by which he pronounced sentence on the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when he* was called, obeyed to go out to a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was expecting the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith also, _⌊with Sarah_⌋*,* he received _⌊the ability to procreate_⌋* even _⌊past the normal age_⌋*, because he regarded the one who had promised to be faithful. ¹² And therefore these were fathered from one man, and he being as good as dead, as the stars of heaven in number and like the innumerable sand by the shore of the sea. ¹³ These all died in faith without receiving the promises, but seeing them from a distance and welcoming them, and admitting that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make clear that they are seeking a homeland. ¹⁵ And if they remember* that land from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac, and the one who received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son, ¹⁸ with reference to whom it was said, "In Isaac your descendants will be named,"* ¹⁹ having reasoned that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which he received him back also as a symbol. ²⁰ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things that were going to happen. ²¹ By faith Jacob, as he* was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, as he* was dying, mentioned about the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when he* was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw the child was handsome, and they were not afraid of the edict of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he* was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing instead to be mistreated with the people of God rather than to experience the transitory enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ considering _⌊reproach endured for the sake of Christ_⌋* greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king, for he persevered as if he* saw the invisible one. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; the Egyptians, _⌊when they made the attempt_⌋*, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they* had been marched around for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she* welcomed the spies in peace. ³² And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and the prophets, ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained what was promised, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ extinguished the effectiveness of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong from weakness, became mighty in battle, put to flight enemy battle lines. ³⁵ Women received back their dead by resurrection. But others were tortured, not accepting release, in order that they might gain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others _⌊experienced mocking and flogging_⌋*, and in addition bonds and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by murder with a sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, impoverished, afflicted, mistreated, ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy, wandering about on deserts and mountains and in caves and in holes in the ground. ³⁹ And although they* all were approved* through their faith, they did not receive what was promised, ⁴⁰ because* God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts; and through it, having died, he still speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated not to see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him up. For before the translation, he was commended to have pleased God. ⁶ And without faith, it is impossible to please Him. For it behooves the one drawing near to God to believe that He exists and that He becomes a rewarder to those earnestly seeking Him out. ⁷ By faith Noah, having been divinely instructed concerning the things not yet seen, having been moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place that he was going to receive for an inheritance, obeyed and went out, not knowing where he is going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise, as in a foreign country, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was awaiting the city having foundations, of which the architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah, herself barren, received power for the conception of seed, even beyond the opportune age, since she considered the One having promised faithful. ¹² Therefore also were born from one man, and he having been as good as dead, as the stars of heaven in multitude, and countless as the sand by the shore of the sea. ¹³ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having embraced them, and having confessed that they are strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For those saying such things make manifest that they are seeking their own country. ¹⁵ And indeed if they had been remembering that from where they came out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they stretch forward to a better one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, has offered up Isaac. Even the one having received the promises was offering up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ as to whom it was said, “In Isaac your offspring will be reckoned,” ¹⁹ having reasoned that God was able even to raise him out from the dead, from where he received him also in a simile. ²⁰ By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the things coming. ²¹ By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw the little child was beautiful, and they did not fear the edict of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, having become grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ having chosen to suffer affliction with the people of God, rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ having esteemed the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking toward the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the anger of the king; for he persevered, as seeing the Invisible One. ²⁸ By faith he has kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the one destroying the firstborn would not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians, an attempt having made, were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those having disobeyed, having received the spies with peace. ³² And what more shall I say? For the time will fail me, telling of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, also David, and Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who by faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises; shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouths of the sword; acquired strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put to flight foreign armies. ³⁵ Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others received the trial of mockings and of scourgings, and in addition, of chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were killed by slaughter of the sword; they wandered in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, being oppressed, being mistreated; ³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and holes of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having been commended through the faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having planned something better for us, so that not apart from us, they should be made perfect.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. ⁶ And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. ⁷ By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going. ⁹ By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised. ¹² And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. ¹³ All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. ¹⁴ Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son, ¹⁸ even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.” ¹⁹ Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. ²⁵ He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin. ²⁶ He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward. ²⁷ By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn. ²⁹ By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days. ³¹ By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient. ³² And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight. ³⁵ Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated. ³⁸ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground. ³⁹ These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. ⁴⁰ God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ In faith, Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice to God than Cain, through which he was witnessed to be righteous, God testifying on the basis of his gifts and through it he still speaks, although being dead. ⁵ In faith, Enoch was transferred, not to see death, and he was not being found, because God transferred him; for it had been testified of him to have been well pleasing to God before his transfer. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to God; for it is essential for the one who comes near to God to believe that he is and that he becomes a rewarder to those who are seeking him out. ⁷ In faith, Noah, having been divinely-warned concerning things not yet seen, and being scared, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; through which he condemned the world and he became an heir of righteousness according to faith. ⁸ In faith, Abraham obeyed, being called to go out to the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he was going. ⁹ In faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as an alien, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the joint heirs of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was waiting for the city which has the foundations, whose craftsman and contractor is God. ¹¹ In faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed and bore a son contrary to the time of her fertile age, since she deemed him faithful who had promised. ¹² And hence these were fathered from one sterile man, just-as the stars of heaven in a multitude and as innumerable as the sand beside the sea shore. \ulnone\nosupersub ¹³ These all died according to faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and having greeted them from farther out and having confessed that they are strangers and travelers upon the earth. ¹⁴ For those who are saying such things are disclosing that they are seeking after a fatherland. ¹⁵ And if they were indeed remembering that region from which they went out, they would have had an opportunity to revisit. ¹⁶ But now they are aspiring for themselves to a better region, this thing is a heavenly one. Hence God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared a city for them.
¹⁷ In faith, Abraham, being tested, has offered up Isaac. And he who had accepted the promises was offering up his only begotten son; ¹⁸ to whom it was said, In Isaac your seed will be called. ¹⁹ Having reasoning that God is able to raise him up even from the dead; from where he also got him back in a figure. ²⁰ In faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning future things. ²¹ In faith, Jacob, while dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, resting upon the tip of his staff. ²² In faith, Joseph, while dying, made a remembrance concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, and commanded them concerning his bones.
²³ In faith, Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a handsome child, and they were not afraid of the command of the king. ²⁴ In faith, Moses, having become great, denied to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; ²⁵ having selected for himself to be mistreated together with the people of God rather than to have temporary enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ having deemed the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking toward the reward. ²⁷ In faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the fury of the king; for he persevered, as seeing the invisible one. ²⁸ In faith, he has made the Passover and the splashing of the blood on the door frames, in order that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. ²⁹ In faith, they crossed over the Red Sea as if through dry land; from which the Egyptians having taken an attempt at it, were swallowed up.
³⁰ In faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, having been surrounded for seven days. ³¹ In faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish together with the disobedient, having accepted the spies with peace.
³² And what more should I say? For the time will fail me if I describe the things concerning Gideon, Barak, and both Samson and Jephthah; both David and Samuel, and the prophets: ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, sealed the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, fled away from the edge of the sword, were empowered away from weakness, became mighty in war, the encampments of aliens bowed down. ³⁵ Women received back their dead from a resurrection. But others were tortured, having not accepted their redemption; in order that they might obtain a better resurrection, ³⁶ and others received a trial from mocking and scourges, but still more, from bonds and prison: ³⁷ they were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were tempted; they died in murder from the sword; they went around in sheepskins, and in hides; they were lacking, being afflicted, and being mistreated, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in the wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having been testified of through the faith,
did not get the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something better concerning us, in order that they should not be completed separate from us.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. ⁶ And without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. ⁹ By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰ For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the opportune age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised. ¹² And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. ¹³ All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. ¹⁴ Those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own. ¹⁵ If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son, ¹⁸ even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.” ¹⁹ Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones. ²³ By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as a son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ He chose to share the bad treatment with the people of God, rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. ²⁶ He thought that being insulted for the sake of the Messiah was of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. ²⁷ By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn. ²⁹ By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days. ³¹ By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient. ³² And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets, ³³ who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and obtained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, who became mighty in war, and put foreign armies to flight. ³⁵ Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. ³⁶ Others endured mockings and scourgings, still others were delivered to bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated. ³⁸ The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground. ³⁹ These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. ⁴⁰ God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Durch den Glauben hat Abel Gott ein größer Opfer getan denn Kain, durch welchen er Zeugnis überkommen hat, daß er gerecht sei, da Gott zeugete von seiner Gabe; und durch denselbigen redet er noch, wiewohl er gestorben ist. ⁵ Durch den Glauben ward Enoch weggenommen, daß er den Tod nicht sähe, und ward nicht gefunden, darum daß ihn Gott wegnahm; denn vor seinem Wegnehmen hat er Zeugnis gehabt, daß er Gott gefallen habe. ⁶ Aber ohne Glauben ist's unmöglich, Gott gefallen; denn wer zu Gott kommen will, der muß glauben, daß er sei und denen, die ihn suchen, ein Vergelter sein werde. ⁷ Durch den Glauben hat Noah Gott geehret und die Arche zubereitet zum Heil seines Hauses, da er einen göttlichen Befehl empfing von dem das man noch nicht sah; durch welchen er verdammte die Welt und hat ererbet die Gerechtigkeit, die durch den Glauben kommt. ⁸ Durch den Glauben ward gehorsam Abraham, da er berufen ward, auszugehen in das Land, das er ererben sollte; und ging aus und wußte nicht, wo er hinkäme. ⁹ Durch den Glauben ist er ein Fremdling gewesen in dem verheißenen Lande als in einem fremden und wohnete in Hütten mit Isaak und Jakob, den Miterben derselbigen Verheißung. ¹⁰ Denn er wartete auf eine Stadt, die einen Grund hat, welcher Baumeister und Schöpfer Gott ist. ¹¹ Durch den Glauben empfing auch Sara Kraft, daß sie schwanger ward, und gebar über die Zeit ihres Alters; denn sie achtete ihn treu, der es verheißen hatte. ¹² Darum sind auch von einem, wie wohl erstorbenen Leibes, viele geboren wie die Sterne am Himmel und wie der Sand am Rande des Meeres, der unzählig ist. ¹³ Diese alle sind gestorben im Glauben und haben die Verheißung nicht empfangen, sondern sie von ferne gesehen und sich der vertröstet und wohl genügen lassen und bekannt, daß sie Gäste und Fremdlinge auf Erden sind. ¹⁴ Denn die solches sagen, die geben zu verstehen, daß sie ein Vaterland suchen. ¹⁵ Und zwar, wo sie das gemeinet hätten, von welchem sie waren ausgezogen, hatten sie ja Zeit, wieder umzukehren. ¹⁶ Nun aber begehren sie eines besseren, nämlich eines himmlischen. Darum schämet sich Gott ihrer nicht, zu heißen ihr Gott; denn er hat ihnen eine Stadt zubereitet. ¹⁷ Durch den Glauben opferte Abraham den Isaak, da er versucht ward, und gab dahin den Eingebornen, da er schon die Verheißung empfangen hatte, ¹⁸ von welchem gesagt war: In Isaak wird dir dein Same geheißen werden, ¹⁹ und dachte: Gott kann auch wohl von den Toten erwecken; daher er auch ihn zum Vorbilde wieder nahm. ²⁰ Durch den Glauben segnete Isaak von den zukünftigen Dingen den Jakob und Esau. ²¹ Durch den Glauben segnete Jakob, da er starb, beide Söhne Josephs und neigete sich gegen seines Zepters Spitze. ²² Durch den Glauben redete Joseph vom Auszug der Kinder Israel, da er starb, und tat Befehl von seinen Gebeinen. ²³ Durch den Glauben ward Mose, da er geboren war, drei Monden verborgen von seinen Eltern, darum daß sie sahen, wie er ein schön Kind war, und fürchteten sich nicht vor des Königs Gebot. ²⁴ Durch den Glauben wollte Mose, da er groß ward, nicht mehr ein Sohn heißen der Tochter Pharaos ²⁵ und erwählete viel lieber, mit dem Volk Gottes Ungemach zu leiden, denn die zeitliche Ergötzung der Sünde zu haben, ²⁶ und achtete die Schmach Christi für größeren Reichtum denn die Schätze Ägyptens; denn er sah an die Belohnung. ²⁷ Durch den Glauben verließ er Ägypten und fürchtete nicht des Königs Grimm; denn er hielt sich an den, den er nicht sah, als sähe er ihn. ²⁸ Durch den Glauben hielt er Ostern und das Blutvergießen, auf daß, der die Erstgeburten würgete, sie nicht träfe. ²⁹ Durch den Glauben gingen sie durch das Rote Meer als durch trocken Land; welches die Ägypter auch versuchten und ersoffen. ³⁰ Durch den Glauben fielen die Mauern Jerichos, da sie sieben Tage umhergegangen waren. ³¹ Durch den Glauben ward die Hure Rahab nicht verloren mit den Ungläubigen, da sie die Kundschafter freundlich aufnahm. ³² Und was soll ich mehr sagen? Die Zeit würde mir zu kurz, wenn ich sollte erzählen von Gideon und Barak und Simson und Jephthah und David und Samuel und den Propheten, ³³ welche haben durch den Glauben Königreiche bezwungen, Gerechtigkeit gewirket, die Verheißung erlanget, der Löwen Rachen verstopfet, ³⁴ des Feuers Kraft ausgelöscht, sind des Schwerts Schärfe entronnen, sind kräftig worden aus der Schwachheit, sind stark worden im Streit, haben der Fremden Heer daniedergelegt. ³⁵ Die Weiber haben ihre Toten von der Auferstehung wieder genommen; die andern aber sind zerschlagen und haben keine Erlösung angenommen, auf daß sie die Auferstehung, die besser ist, erlangeten. ³⁶ Etliche haben Spott und Geißeln erlitten, dazu Bande und Gefängnis. ³⁷ Sie sind gesteiniget, zerhackt, zerstochen, durchs Schwert getötet; sie sind umhergegangen in Pelzen und Ziegenfellen, mit Mangel, mit Trübsal, mit Ungemach ³⁸ (deren die Welt nicht wert war) und sind im Elend gegangen in den Wüsten, auf den Bergen und in den Klüften und Löchern der Erde. ³⁹ Diese alle haben durch den Glauben Zeugnis überkommen und nicht empfangen die Verheißung, ⁴⁰ darum daß Gott etwas Besseres für uns zuvor versehen hat, daß sie nicht ohne uns vollendet würden.

4 G1223 Durch G3739 den G4102 Glauben G3140 hat G6 Abel G2316 GOtt G2378 ein größer Opfer G4374 getan G4119 denn G2535 Kain G1223 , durch G846 welchen er G3140 Zeugnis G1909 überkommen hat G1342 , daß er gerecht G1511 sei G2316 , da GOtt G3844 zeugete von G1435 seiner Gabe G2532 ; und G2980 durch denselbigen redet G2089 er noch G599 , wiewohl er gestorben ist.

5 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3346 ward Enoch weggenommen G846 , daß er G2288 den Tod G3361 nicht G1492 sähe G2532 , und G3756 ward nicht G2147 gefunden G1063 , darum G2316 daß ihn GOtt G1360 wegnahm; denn G4253 vor G3331 seinem Wegnehmen G1492 hat G846 er G3140 Zeugnis G2316 gehabt, daß er GOtt G2100 gefallen G2147 habe .

6 G1161 Aber G5565 ohne G4102 Glauben G2076 ist‘s G102 unmöglich G2316 , GOtt G2100 gefallen G1063 ; denn G4334 wer zu GOtt kommen G1163 will, der muß G4100 glauben G3754 , daß G846 er G2532 sei und G1567 denen, die ihn suchen G3406 , ein Vergelter G1096 sein werde.

7 G1223 Durch G2596 den G4102 Glauben G3575 hat Noah G5537 GOtt G2532 geehret und G2787 die Arche G2680 zubereitet G1519 zum G4991 Heil G3624 seines Hauses G4012 , da er einen göttlichen Befehl empfing von G3739 dem das G1096 man G3369 noch nicht G991 sah G2632 ; durch welchen er verdammte G2889 die Welt G1343 und hat ererbet die Gerechtigkeit G4102 , die durch den Glauben kommt.

8 G1519 Durch G4102 den Glauben G2564 ward G5219 gehorsam G11 Abraham G2064 , da er berufen ward G1519 , auszugehen in G3739 das G5117 Land G2817 , das er ererben G3195 sollte G2532 ; und G1831 ging G1831 aus G1987 und wußte G3361 nicht G4226 , wo er hinkäme.

9 G4102 Durch den Glauben G846 ist er G3939 ein Fremdling gewesen G1519 in G1860 dem verheißenen G1093 Lande G5613 als G1722 in G245 einem fremden G2532 und G4633 wohnete in Hütten G3326 mit G2464 Isaak G2384 und Jakob G4789 , den Miterben G1860 derselbigen Verheißung .

10 G1063 Denn G1551 er wartete G4172 auf eine Stadt G2310 , die einen Grund G2192 hat G3739 , welcher G1217 Baumeister G2532 und G5079 Schöpfer G2316 GOtt ist.

11 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2983 empfing G2532 auch G4564 Sara G1411 Kraft G1519 , daß G846 sie G5088 schwanger G2602 ward G2532 , und G2244 gebar über die Zeit ihres Alters G3844 ; denn G2233 sie achtete G4103 ihn treu G1861 , der es verheißen hatte.

12 G1352 Darum G2532 sind auch G575 von G2531 einem, wie G3499 wohl erstorbenen G4128 Leibes, viele G5616 geboren wie G5023 die G798 Sterne G3844 am G3772 Himmel G2532 und G1520 wie der G285 Sand G5491 am Rande G2532 des G2281 Meeres G3588 , der G1080 unzählig ist .

13 G3778 Diese G3956 alle G1526 sind G599 gestorben G2596 im G4102 Glauben G2532 und G1860 haben die Verheißung G3361 nicht G2983 empfangen G235 , sondern G846 sie G4207 von ferne G1492 gesehen G2532 und G2532 sich der vertröstet und G782 wohl genügen lassen G2532 und G3670 bekannt G3754 , daß G3982 sie G3581 Gäste G3927 und Fremdlinge G1909 auf G1093 Erden sind.

14 G1063 Denn G5108 die solches G3004 sagen G1718 , die geben zu verstehen G3754 , daß G3968 sie ein Vaterland G1934 suchen .

15 G2532 Und G3303 zwar G1487 , wo G302 sie G1565 das G3421 gemeinet hätten G575 , von G3739 welchem G1831 sie waren G2192 ausgezogen, hatten G2540 sie ja Zeit G344 , wieder umzukehren.

16 G3570 Nun G1161 aber G2909 begehren sie eines besseren G5123 , nämlich G2032 eines himmlischen G1352 . Darum G1870 schämet G1870 sich G2316 GOtt G3756 ihrer nicht G2090 , zu G1941 heißen G846 ihr G2316 GOtt G1063 ; denn G846 er G3713 hat G4172 ihnen eine Stadt zubereitet.

17 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4374 opferte G11 Abraham G2464 den Isaak G3985 , da er versucht G4374 ward G2532 , und G1860 gab dahin den Eingebornen, da er schon die Verheißung G324 empfangen hatte,

18 G3739 von welchem G2980 gesagt war G1722 : In G2464 Isaak G4314 wird G4671 dir G4690 dein Same G2564 geheißen G2564 werden,

19 G3754 und G3049 dachte G2316 : GOtt G1415 kann G2532 auch G1537 wohl von G1722 den G3498 Toten G1453 erwecken G3606 ; daher G846 er G2532 auch G3850 ihn zum Vorbilde wieder nahm.

20 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2127 segnete G2464 Isaak G4012 von G3195 den zukünftigen G2384 Dingen den Jakob G2532 und G2269 Esau .

21 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2127 segnete G2384 Jakob G846 , da er G599 starb G1538 , beide G2501 Söhne Josephs G2532 und G4352 neigete sich G1909 gegen seines G206 Zepters Spitze .

22 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3421 redete G2501 Joseph G4012 vom G1841 Auszug G2474 der Kinder Israel G5053 , da er starb G2532 , und G1781 tat Befehl G4012 von G3747 seinen Gebeinen .

23 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3475 ward Mose G5399 , da er G1080 geboren war G2928 , drei Monden verborgen G5259 von G3962 seinen Eltern G1360 , darum daß G1492 sie sahen G3813 , wie er ein schön Kind G2532 war, und G848 fürchteten sich G3756 nicht G935 vor des Königs G1297 Gebot .

24 G4102 Durch den Glauben G720 wollte G3475 Mose G3173 , da er groß G1096 ward G3004 , nicht mehr ein Sohn heißen G2364 der Tochter G5328 Pharaos

25 G3123 und erwählete viel G2992 lieber, mit dem Volk G2316 Gottes G4778 Ungemach zu leiden G2228 , denn G4340 die zeitliche G619 Ergötzung G266 der Sünde G2192 zu haben,

26 G2233 und achtete G3680 die Schmach G5547 Christi G1519 für G4149 größeren Reichtum G3187 denn G2344 die Schätze G125 Ägyptens G1063 ; denn G578 er sah G1722 an G3405 die Belohnung .

27 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2641 verließ G5399 er G125 Ägypten G3361 und fürchtete nicht G935 des Königs G2372 Grimm G1063 ; denn G2594 er hielt sich G517 an den, den er nicht G3708 sah G5613 , als sähe er ihn.

28 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4160 hielt G846 er G3957 Ostern G2532 und G3363 das Blutvergießen, auf daß G4416 , der die Erstgeburten G2345 würgete, sie nicht träfe .

29 G1223 Durch G4102 den Glauben G3739 gingen sie durch das G2063 Rote G2281 Meer G5613 als G3584 durch trocken Land G124 ; welches die Ägypter G3984 auch versuchten G2666 und ersoffen .

30 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4098 fielen G5038 die Mauern G2410 Jerichos G1909 , da G2033 sie sieben G2250 Tage umhergegangen waren.

31 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4204 ward die Hure G4460 Rahab G3756 nicht G4881 verloren G3326 mit G544 den Ungläubigen G2685 , da sie die Kundschafter G1515 freundlich G1209 aufnahm .

32 G2532 Und G5101 was G2089 soll ich mehr G3004 sagen G5550 ? Die Zeit G3165 würde mir G1952 zu kurz G1334 , wenn ich sollte erzählen G4012 von G1066 Gideon G1063 und G913 Barak G5037 und G4546 Simson G2532 und G2422 Jephthah G2532 und G1138 David G2532 und G4545 Samuel G5037 und G4396 den Propheten,

33 G2610 welche haben G1223 durch G4102 den Glauben G932 Königreiche G1343 bezwungen, Gerechtigkeit G3739 gewirket, die G1860 Verheißung G3023 erlanget, der Löwen G4750 Rachen verstopfet,

34 G4442 des Feuers G1411 Kraft G4570 ausgelöscht G5343 , sind G4750 des Schwerts Schärfe G575 entronnen, sind kräftig worden aus G769 der Schwachheit G1743 , sind stark G1722 worden im G4171 Streit G1096 , haben G245 der Fremden Heer daniedergelegt.

35 G1135 Die Weiber G3498 haben ihre Toten G386 von der Auferstehung G2983 wieder genommen G243 ; die andern G1161 aber G5178 sind zerschlagen G3756 und haben keine G629 Erlösung G4327 angenommen, auf G2443 daß G386 sie die Auferstehung G2909 , die besser ist, erlangeten.

36 G2087 Etliche G2983 haben G1701 Spott G1161 und G3148 Geißeln G3984 erlitten G1161 , dazu G1199 Bande G2532 und G5438 Gefängnis .

37 G3985 Sie G599 sind G4249 gesteiniget, zerhackt G3162 , zerstochen, durchs Schwert G4022 getötet; sie sind umhergegangen G1722 in G1722 Pelzen und Ziegenfellen, mit G5302 Mangel G1722 , mit G2346 Trübsal G2558 , mit Ungemach

38 G3739 [deren die G2889 Welt G3756 nicht G514 wert G2258 war G2532 ] und G4105 sind G1722 im Elend gegangen in G3735 den Wüsten, auf den Bergen G2532 und G2047 in G4693 den Klüften G2532 und G3692 Löchern G1093 der Erde .

39 G3778 Diese G3956 alle G1223 haben durch G4102 den Glauben G3140 Zeugnis G2532 überkommen und G3756 nicht G2865 empfangen G1860 die Verheißung,

40 G2443 darum daß G2316 GOtt G5100 etwas G2909 Besseres G4012 für G2257 uns G4265 zuvor versehen hat G3363 , daß G5100 sie G5565 nicht ohne G2257 uns G5048 vollendet G5048 würden .

Luther1912⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Durch den Glauben hat Abel Gott ein größeres Opfer getan denn Kain; durch welchen er Zeugnis überkommen hat, daß er gerecht sei, da Gott zeugte von seiner Gabe; und durch denselben redet er noch, wiewohl er gestorben ist. ⁵ Durch den Glauben ward Henoch weggenommen, daß er den Tod nicht sähe, und ward nicht gefunden, darum daß ihn Gott wegnahm; denn vor seinem Wegnehmen hat er Zeugnis gehabt, daß er Gott gefallen habe. ⁶ Aber ohne Glauben ist's unmöglich, Gott zu gefallen; denn wer zu Gott kommen will, der muß glauben, daß er sei und denen, die ihn suchen, ein Vergelter sein werde. ⁷ Durch den Glauben hat Noah Gott geehrt und die Arche zubereitet zum Heil seines Hauses, da er ein göttliches Wort empfing über das, was man noch nicht sah; und verdammte durch denselben die Welt und hat ererbt die Gerechtigkeit, die durch den Glauben kommt. ⁸ Durch den Glauben ward gehorsam Abraham, da er berufen ward, auszugehen in das Land, das er ererben sollte; und ging aus und wußte nicht wo er hinkäme. ⁹ Durch den Glauben ist er ein Fremdling gewesen in dem verheißenen Lande als in einem fremden und wohnte in Hütten mit Isaak und Jakob, den Miterben derselben Verheißung; ¹⁰ denn er wartete auf eine Stadt, die einen Grund hat, der Baumeister und Schöpfer Gott ist. ¹¹ Durch den Glauben empfing auch Sara Kraft, daß sie schwanger ward und gebar über die Zeit ihres Alters; denn sie achtete ihn treu, der es verheißen hatte. ¹² Darum sind auch von einem, wiewohl erstorbenen Leibes, viele geboren wie die Sterne am Himmel und wie der Sand am Rande des Meeres, der unzählig ist. ¹³ Diese alle sind gestorben im Glauben und haben die Verheißung nicht empfangen, sondern sie von ferne gesehen und sich ihrer getröstet und wohl genügen lassen und bekannt, daß sie Gäste und Fremdlinge auf Erden wären. ¹⁴ Denn die solches sagen, die geben zu verstehen, daß sie ein Vaterland suchen. ¹⁵ Und zwar, wo sie das gemeint hätten, von welchem sie waren ausgezogen, hatten sie ja Zeit, wieder umzukehren. ¹⁶ Nun aber begehren sie eines bessern, nämlich eines himmlischen. Darum schämt sich Gott ihrer nicht, zu heißen ihr Gott; denn er hat ihnen eine Stadt zubereitet. ¹⁷ Durch den Glauben opferte Abraham den Isaak, da er versucht ward, und gab dahin den Eingeborenen, da er schon die Verheißungen empfangen hatte, ¹⁸ von welchem gesagt war: "In Isaak wird dir dein Same genannt werden"; ¹⁹ und dachte, Gott kann auch wohl von den Toten auferwecken; daher er auch ihn zum Vorbilde wiederbekam. ²⁰ Durch den Glauben segnete Isaak von den zukünftigen Dingen den Jakob und Esau. ²¹ Durch den Glauben segnete Jakob, da er starb, beide Söhne Josephs und neigte sich gegen seines Stabes Spitze. ²² Durch den Glauben redete Joseph vom Auszug der Kinder Israel, da er starb, und tat Befehl von seinen Gebeinen. ²³ Durch den Glauben ward Mose, da er geboren war, drei Monate verborgen von seinen Eltern, darum daß sie sahen, wie er ein schönes Kind war, und fürchteten sich nicht vor des Königs Gebot. ²⁴ Durch den Glauben wollte Mose, da er groß ward, nicht mehr ein Sohn heißen der Tochter Pharaos, ²⁵ und erwählte viel lieber, mit dem Volk Gottes Ungemach zu leiden, denn die zeitliche Ergötzung der Sünde zu haben, ²⁶ und achtete die Schmach Christi für größern Reichtum denn die Schätze Ägyptens; denn er sah an die Belohnung. ²⁷ Durch den Glauben verließ er Ägypten und fürchtete nicht des Königs Grimm; denn er hielt sich an den, den er nicht sah, als sähe er ihn. ²⁸ Durch den Glauben hielt er Ostern und das Blutgießen, auf daß, der die Erstgeburten erwürgte, sie nicht träfe. ²⁹ Durch den Glauben gingen sie durchs Rote Meer wie durch trockenes Land; was die Ägypter auch versuchten, und ersoffen. ³⁰ Durch den Glauben fielen die Mauern Jerichos, da sie sieben Tage um sie herumgegangen waren. ³¹ Durch den Glauben ward die Hure Rahab nicht verloren mit den Ungläubigen, da sie die Kundschafter freundlich aufnahm. ³² Und was soll ich mehr sagen? Die Zeit würde mir zu kurz, wenn ich sollte erzählen von Gideon und Barak und Simson und Jephthah und David und Samuel und den Propheten, ³³ welche haben durch den Glauben Königreiche bezwungen, Gerechtigkeit gewirkt, Verheißungen erlangt, der Löwen Rachen verstopft, ³⁴ des Feuers Kraft ausgelöscht, sind des Schwertes Schärfe entronnen, sind kräftig geworden aus der Schwachheit, sind stark geworden im Streit, haben der Fremden Heere darniedergelegt. ³⁵ Weiber haben ihre Toten durch Auferstehung wiederbekommen. Andere aber sind zerschlagen und haben keine Erlösung angenommen, auf daß sie die Auferstehung, die besser ist, erlangten. ³⁶ Etliche haben Spott und Geißeln erlitten, dazu Bande und Gefängnis; ³⁷ sie wurden gesteinigt, zerhackt, zerstochen, durchs Schwert getötet; sie sind umhergegangen in Schafpelzen und Ziegenfellen, mit Mangel, mit Trübsal, mit Ungemach ³⁸ [deren die Welt nicht wert war], und sind im Elend umhergeirrt in den Wüsten, auf den Bergen und in den Klüften und Löchern der Erde. ³⁹ Diese alle haben durch den Glauben Zeugnis überkommen und nicht empfangen die Verheißung, ⁴⁰ darum daß Gott etwas Besseres für uns zuvor ersehen hat, daß sie nicht ohne uns vollendet würden.

4 G4102 Durch den Glauben G6 hat Abel G2316 Gott G4119 ein größeres G2378 Opfer G4374 getan G3844 denn G2535 Kain G1223 ; durch G3739 welchen G3140 er Zeugnis G3140 überkommen hat G1511 , daß G1342 er gerecht G1511 sei G2316 , da Gott G3140 zeugte G1909 von G846 seiner G1435 Gabe G2532 ; und G1223 durch G846 denselben G2980 G2980 redet G2089 er noch G599 , wiewohl G599 er gestorben ist.

5 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3346 ward G1802 Henoch G3346 weggenommen G1492 , daß G2288 er den Tod G3361 nicht G1492 sähe G2532 , und G3756 ward nicht G2147 gefunden G1360 , darum G846 daß ihn G2316 Gott G3346 wegnahm G1063 ; denn G4253 vor G846 seinem G3331 Wegnehmen G3140 hat G3140 er Zeugnis G2100 gehabt, daß G2316 er Gott G2100 gefallen habe.

6 G1161 Aber G5565 ohne G4102 Glauben G102 ist’s unmöglich G2100 , Gott zu gefallen G1063 ; denn G4334 wer G2316 zu Gott G4334 kommen G1163 will, der muß G4100 glauben G3754 , daß G2076 er sei G2532 und G1567 denen, die G846 ihn G1567 suchen G3406 , ein Vergelter G1096 sein werde.

7 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3575 hat Noah G2125 Gott geehrt G2787 und die Arche G2680 zubereitet G1519 zum G4991 Heil G846 seines G3624 Hauses G5537 , da er ein göttliches G5537 Wort empfing G4012 über G3369 das, was G3369 man noch nicht G991 sah G2632 ; und verdammte G1223 durch G3739 denselben G2889 die Welt G2532 und G1096 hat G2818 ererbt G1343 die Gerechtigkeit G2596 , die durch G4102 den Glauben kommt.

8 G4102 Durch den Glauben G5219 ward gehorsam G11 Abraham G2564 , da er berufen G1831 ward, auszugehen G1519 in G5117 das Land G3739 , das G2817 G2983 er ererben G3195 sollte G2532 ; und G1831 ging aus G1987 und wußte G3361 nicht G4226 , wo G1519 G2064 er hinkäme .

9 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3939 ist er ein Fremdling G1519 gewesen in G1860 dem verheißenen G1093 Lande G5613 als G245 in einem fremden G2730 und wohnte G1722 in G4633 Hütten G3326 mit G2464 Isaak G2532 und G2384 Jakob G4789 , den Miterben G846 derselben G1860 Verheißung;

10 G1063 denn G1551 er wartete G4172 auf eine Stadt G2192 , die G2310 einen Grund G2192 hat G3739 , deren G5079 Baumeister G2532 und G1217 Schöpfer G2316 Gott ist.

11 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2983 empfing G2532 auch G4564 G846 Sara G1411 Kraft G1519 , daß G2602 G4690 sie schwanger G2532 ward und G5088 gebar G3844 über G2540 die Zeit G2244 ihres Alters G1893 ; denn G2233 sie achtete G4103 ihn treu G1861 , der G1861 es verheißen hatte.

12 G1352 Darum G2532 sind auch G575 von G1520 einem G2532 G5023 , wiewohl G3499 erstorbenen G4128 Leibes, viele G1080 geboren G2531 wie G798 die Sterne G3772 am Himmel G2532 und G5616 wie G285 G3588 der Sand G3844 am G5491 Rande G2281 des Meeres G382 , der unzählig ist.

13 G3778 Diese G3956 alle G599 sind gestorben G2596 im G4102 Glauben G2983 und haben G1860 die Verheißungen G3361 nicht G2983 empfangen G235 , sondern G846 sie G4207 von ferne G1492 gesehen G2532 und G3982 sich ihrer getröstet G2532 und G782 wohl genügen lassen G2532 und G3670 bekannt G3754 , daß G1526 sie G3581 Gäste G2532 und G3927 Fremdlinge G1909 auf G1093 Erden G1526 wären .

14 G1063 Denn G5108 die solches G3004 sagen G1718 , die geben G1718 zu verstehen G3754 , daß G1934 sie G3968 ein Vaterland G1934 suchen .

15 G2532 Und G3303 zwar G1487 , wo G3421 sie G1565 das G3421 gemeint G575 hätten, von G3739 welchem G1831 sie waren ausgezogen G2192 , hatten G302 sie G2540 ja Zeit G344 , wieder umzukehren .

16 G3570 Nun G1161 aber G3713 begehren G2909 sie eines bessern G5123 , nämlich G2032 eines himmlischen G1352 . Darum G846 G1870 schämt G2316 sich Gott G3756 ihrer nicht G1941 , zu heißen G846 ihr G2316 Gott G1063 ; denn G2090 er G846 hat ihnen G4172 eine Stadt G2090 zubereitet .

17 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4374 opferte G11 Abraham G2464 den Isaak G3985 , da G3985 er versucht G2532 ward, und G4374 gab dahin G3439 den Eingeborenen G324 , da G1860 er schon die Verheißungen G324 empfangen hatte,

18 G4314 von G3739 welchem G2980 gesagt G3754 war: G1722 «In G2464 Isaak G2564 wird G4671 dir dein G4690 Same G2564 genannt werden»;

19 G3049 und dachte G3754 , G2316 Gott G1415 kann G2532 auch wohl G1537 von G3498 den Toten G1453 erwecken G3606 ; daher G2532 er auch G846 ihn G1722 zum G3850 Vorbilde G2865 wiederbekam .

20 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2127 segnete G2464 Isaak G4012 von G3195 den zukünftigen Dingen G2384 den Jakob G2532 und G2269 Esau .

21 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2127 segnete G2384 Jakob G599 , da er starb G1538 , beide G5207 Söhne G2501 Josephs G2532 und G4352 neigte G1909 sich gegen G846 seines G4464 Stabes G206 Spitze .

22 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3421 redete G2501 Joseph G4012 vom G1841 Auszug G5207 der Kinder G2474 Israel G5053 , da er starb G2532 , und G1781 tat Befehl G4012 von G846 seinen G3747 Gebeinen .

23 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2928 ward G3475 Mose G1080 , da er geboren G5150 war, drei Monate G2928 verborgen G5259 von G846 seinen G3962 Eltern G1360 , darum G1492 daß sie sahen G791 , wie er ein schönes G3813 Kind G2532 war, und G5399 fürchteten G3756 sich nicht G935 vor des Königs G1297 Gebot .

24 G4102 Durch den Glauben G3475 wollte Mose G1096 , da G3173 er groß G1096 ward G720 , nicht G5207 mehr ein Sohn G3004 heißen G2364 der Tochter G5328 Pharaos,

25 G138 und erwählte G3123 viel lieber G2992 , mit dem Volk G2316 Gottes G4778 Ungemach G4778 zu leiden G2228 , denn G4340 die zeitliche G619 G2192 Ergötzung G266 der Sünde zu haben,

26 G2233 und achtete G3680 die Schmach G5547 Christi G1519 für G3187 größern G4149 Reichtum G2233 denn G2344 die Schätze G125 Ägyptens G1063 ; denn G578 er sah G1722 an G3405 die Belohnung .

27 G4102 Durch den Glauben G2641 verließ G125 er Ägypten G5399 und fürchtete G3361 nicht G935 des Königs G2372 Grimm G1063 ; denn G2594 er hielt G517 sich an den, den er nicht G5613 sah, als G3708 sähe G517 er ihn .

28 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4160 hielt G3957 er Ostern G2532 und G129 G4378 das Blutgießen G3363 , auf daß G4416 , der die Erstgeburten G3645 erwürgte G846 , sie G3363 nicht G2345 träfe .

29 G4102 Durch den Glauben G1224 gingen G1224 sie durchs G2063 Rote G2281 Meer G5613 wie G1223 durch G3584 trockenes G3739 Land; was G124 die Ägypter G3984 G2983 auch versuchten G2666 , und ersoffen .

30 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4098 fielen G5038 die Mauern G2410 Jerichos G2944 , da G2033 sie sieben G2250 Tage G1909 um G2944 sie herumgegangen waren.

31 G4102 Durch den Glauben G4204 ward die Hure G4460 Rahab G3756 nicht G4881 verloren G544 mit den Ungläubigen G1209 , da G2685 sie die Kundschafter G3326 G1515 freundlich G1209 aufnahm .

32 G2532 Und G5101 was G3004 soll G2089 ich mehr G3004 sagen G1063 ? G5550 Die Zeit G1952 würde G3165 mir G1952 zu kurz G1334 , wenn ich sollte erzählen G4012 von G1066 Gideon G5037 und G913 Barak G2532 und G4546 Simson G2532 und G2422 Jephthah G2532 und G1138 David G5037 und G4545 Samuel G2532 und G4396 den Propheten,

33 G3739 welche G1223 haben durch G4102 den Glauben G932 Königreiche G2610 bezwungen G1343 , Gerechtigkeit G2038 gewirkt G1860 , Verheißungen G2013 erlangt G3023 , der Löwen G4750 Rachen G5420 verstopft,

34 G4442 des Feuers G1411 Kraft G4570 ausgelöscht G3162 , sind des Schwertes G4750 Schärfe G5343 entronnen G1743 , sind G1743 kräftig geworden G575 aus G769 der Schwachheit G1096 , sind G2478 stark G1096 geworden G1722 im G4171 Streit G245 , haben der Fremden G3925 Heere G2827 darniedergelegt .

35 G1135 Weiber G846 haben ihre G3498 Toten G1537 G386 durch Auferstehung G2983 wiederbekommen G243 . Andere G1161 aber G5178 sind zerschlagen G3756 und haben keine G629 Erlösung G4327 angenommen G2443 , auf daß G386 sie die Auferstehung G2909 , die besser G5177 ist, erlangten .

36 G1161 G2087 Etliche G2983 haben G3984 G1701 Spott G2532 und G3148 Geißeln G1161 erlitten, G2089 dazu G1199 Bande G2532 und G5438 Gefängnis;

37 G3034 sie G3034 wurden gesteinigt G4249 , zerhackt G3985 , zerstochen G1722 , durchs G5408 G3162 Schwert G599 getötet G4022 ; sie sind umhergegangen G1722 in G3374 Schafpelzen G1722 und G122 G1192 Ziegenfellen G5302 , mit Mangel G2346 , mit Trübsal G2558 , mit Ungemach

38 G3739 [deren G2889 die Welt G3756 nicht G514 wert G2258 war G2532 , und G4105 sind im Elend umhergeirrt G1722 in G2047 den Wüsten G3735 , auf den Bergen G2532 und G4693 in den Klüften G2532 und G3692 Löchern G1093 der Erde .

39 G2532 G3778 Diese G3956 alle G3140 haben G1223 durch G4102 den Glauben G3140 Zeugnis G3756 überkommen und nicht G2865 empfangen G1860 die Verheißung,

40 G2316 darum daß Gott G5100 etwas G2909 Besseres G4012 für G2257 uns G4265 zuvor ersehen G3363 hat, daß G3363 sie nicht G5565 ohne G2257 uns G5048 vollendet würden.

ELB1871⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Durch Glauben brachte Abel Gott ein vorzüglicheres Opfer dar als Kain, durch welches er Zeugnis erlangte, daß er gerecht war, indem Gott Zeugnis gab zu seinen Gaben; und durch diesen, obgleich er gestorben ist, redet er noch. ⁵ Durch Glauben ward Henoch entrückt, damit er den Tod nicht sehen sollte, und er wurde nicht gefunden, weil Gott ihn entrückt hatte; denn vor der Entrückung hat er das Zeugnis gehabt, daß er Gott wohlgefallen habe. ⁶ Ohne Glauben aber ist es unmöglich, ihm wohlzugefallen; denn wer Gott naht, muß glauben, daß er ist, und denen, die ihn suchen, ein Belohner ist. ⁷ Durch Glauben bereitete Noah, als er einen göttlichen Ausspruch über das, was noch nicht zu sehen war, empfangen hatte, von Furcht bewegt, eine Arche zur Rettung seines Hauses, durch welche er die Welt verurteilte und Erbe der Gerechtigkeit wurde, die nach dem Glauben ist. ⁸ Durch Glauben war Abraham, als er gerufen wurde, gehorsam, auszuziehen an den Ort, den er zum Erbteil empfangen sollte; und er zog aus, nicht wissend, wohin er komme. ⁹ Durch Glauben hielt er sich auf in dem Lande der Verheißung, wie in einem fremden, und wohnte in Zelten mit Isaak und Jakob, den Miterben derselben Verheißung; ¹⁰ denn er erwartete die Stadt, welche Grundlagen hat, deren Baumeister und Schöpfer Gott ist. ¹¹ Durch Glauben empfing auch selbst Sarah Kraft, einen Samen zu gründen, und zwar über die geeignete Zeit des Alters hinaus, weil sie den für treu achtete, der die Verheißung gegeben hatte. ¹² Deshalb sind auch von einem, und zwar Gestorbenen, geboren worden gleichwie die Sterne des Himmels an Menge, und wie der Sand am Ufer des Meeres, der unzählig ist. ¹³ Diese alle sind im Glauben gestorben und haben die Verheißungen nicht empfangen, sondern sahen sie von ferne und begrüßten sie und bekannten, daß sie Fremdlinge und ohne Bürgerschaft auf der Erde seien. ¹⁴ Denn die solches sagen, zeigen deutlich, daß sie ein Vaterland suchen. ¹⁵ Und wenn sie an jenes gedacht hätten, von welchem sie ausgegangen waren, so hätten sie Zeit gehabt zurückzukehren. ¹⁶ Jetzt aber trachten sie nach einem besseren, das ist himmlischen. Darum schämt sich Gott ihrer nicht, ihr Gott genannt zu werden, denn er hat ihnen eine Stadt bereitet. ¹⁷ Durch Glauben hat Abraham, als er versucht wurde, den Isaak geopfert, und der, welcher die Verheißungen empfangen hatte, brachte den Eingeborenen dar, ¹⁸ über welchen gesagt worden war: "In Isaak soll dein Same genannt werden"; ¹⁹ indem er urteilte, daß Gott auch aus den Toten zu erwecken vermöge, von woher er ihn auch im Gleichnis empfing. ²⁰ Durch Glauben segnete Isaak, in Bezug auf zukünftige Dinge, den Jakob und den Esau. ²¹ Durch Glauben segnete Jakob sterbend einen jeden der Söhne Josephs und betete an über der Spitze seines Stabes. ²² Durch Glauben gedachte Joseph sterbend des Auszugs der Söhne Israels und gab Befehl wegen seiner Gebeine. ²³ Durch Glauben wurde Moses, als er geboren wurde, drei Monate von seinen Eltern verborgen, weil sie sahen, daß das Kindlein schön war; und sie fürchteten das Gebot des Königs nicht. ²⁴ Durch Glauben weigerte sich Moses, als er groß geworden war, ein Sohn der Tochter Pharaos zu heißen, ²⁵ und wählte lieber, mit dem Volke Gottes Ungemach zu leiden, als die zeitliche Ergötzung der Sünde zu haben, ²⁶ indem er die Schmach des Christus für größeren Reichtum hielt als die Schätze Ägyptens; denn er schaute auf die Belohnung. ²⁷ Durch Glauben verließ er Ägypten und fürchtete die Wut des Königs nicht; denn er hielt standhaft aus, als sähe er den Unsichtbaren. ²⁸ Durch Glauben hat er das Passah gefeiert und die Besprengung des Blutes, auf daß der Zerstörer der Erstgeburt sie nicht antaste. ²⁹ Durch Glauben gingen sie durch das Rote Meer wie durch trockenes Land, welches die Ägypter versuchten und verschlungen wurden. ³⁰ Durch Glauben fielen die Mauern Jerichos, nachdem sie sieben Tage umzogen waren. ³¹ Durch Glauben kam Rahab, die Hure, nicht mit den Ungläubigen um, da sie die Kundschafter in Frieden aufgenommen hatte. ³² Und was soll ich noch sagen? Denn die Zeit würde mir fehlen, wenn ich erzählen wollte von Gideon und Barak und Simson und Jephta, und David und Samuel und den Propheten, ³³ welche durch Glauben Königreiche bezwangen, Gerechtigkeit wirkten, Verheißungen erlangten, der Löwen Rachen verstopften, ³⁴ des Feuers Kraft auslöschten, des Schwertes Schärfe entgingen, aus der Schwachheit Kraft gewannen, im Kampfe stark wurden, der Fremden Heerscharen zurücktrieben. ³⁵ Weiber erhielten ihre Toten wieder durch Auferstehung; andere aber wurden gefoltert, da sie die Befreiung nicht annahmen, auf daß sie eine bessere Auferstehung erlangten. ³⁶ Andere aber wurden durch Verhöhnung und Geißelung versucht und dazu durch Bande und Gefängnis. ³⁷ Sie wurden gesteinigt, zersägt, versucht, starben durch den Tod des Schwertes, gingen umher in Schafpelzen, in Ziegenfellen, hatten Mangel, Drangsal, Ungemach, ³⁸ (deren die Welt nicht wert war) irrten umher in Wüsten und Gebirgen und Klüften und den Höhlen der Erde. ³⁹ Und diese alle, die durch den Glauben ein Zeugnis erlangten, haben die Verheißung nicht empfangen, ⁴⁰ da Gott für uns etwas Besseres vorgesehen hat, auf daß0 sie nicht ohne uns vollkommen gemacht würden.

4 G4102 Durch Glauben G4374 brachte G6 Abel G2316 Gott G4119 ein vorzüglicheres G2378 Opfer G4374 dar G3844 als G2535 Kain, G1223 durch G3739 welches G3140 er Zeugnis erlangte, G1342 daß er gerecht G1511 war, G2316 indem Gott G3140 Zeugnis gab G1909 zu G846 seinen G1435 Gaben; G2532 und G1223 durch G846 diesen, G599 obgleich er gestorben G2980 ist, redet G2089 er noch.

5 G4102 Durch Glauben G3346 ward G1802 Henoch G3346 entrückt, G2288 damit er den Tod G3361 nicht G1492 sehen G2532 sollte, und G2147 er wurde G3756 nicht G2147 gefunden, G1360 weil G2316 Gott G846 ihn G3346 entrückt G1063 hatte; denn G4253 vor G846 der G3331 Entrückung G3140 hat er das Zeugnis gehabt, G2316 daß er Gott G2100 wohlgefallen habe.

6 G5565 Ohne G4102 Glauben G1161 aber G102 ist es unmöglich, G2100 ihm wohlzugefallen; G1063 denn G2316 wer Gott G4334 naht, G1163 muß G4100 glauben, G3754 daß G2076 er ist, G2532 und G846 denen, die ihn G1567 suchen, G3406 ein Belohner G1096 ist.

7 G4102 Durch Glauben G2680 bereitete G3575 Noah, G5537 als er einen göttlichen Ausspruch G4012 über G3369 das, was noch nicht G991 zu sehen G5537 war, empfangen G2125 hatte, von Furcht bewegt, G2787 eine Arche G1519 zur G4991 Rettung G846 seines G3624 Hauses, G1223 durch G3739 welche G2889 er die Welt G2632 verurteilte G2532 und G2818 Erbe G1343 der Gerechtigkeit G1096 wurde, G2596 die nach G4102 dem Glauben ist.

8 G4102 Durch Glauben G5219 war G11 Abraham, G2564 als er gerufen G5219 wurde, gehorsam, G1831 auszuziehen G1519 an G5117 den Ort, G3739 den G1519 er zum G2817 Erbteil G2983 empfangen G3195 sollte; G2532 und G1831 er zog aus, G3361 nicht G1987 wissend, G4226 wohin G2064 er komme.

9 G4102 Durch Glauben G3939 hielt er sich auf G1519 in G1093 dem Lande G1860 der Verheißung, G5613 wie G245 in einem fremden, G2532 und G2730 wohnte G1722 in G4633 Zelten G3326 mit G2464 Isaak G2532 und G2384 Jakob, G4789 den Miterben G846 derselben G1860 Verheißung;

10 G1063 denn G1551 er erwartete G4172 die Stadt, G2310 welche Grundlagen G2192 hat, G3739 deren G5079 Baumeister G2532 und G1217 Schöpfer G2316 Gott ist.

11 G4102 Durch Glauben G2983 empfing G2532 auch G846 selbst G4564 Sarah G1411 Kraft, G4690 einen Samen G1519 zu G2602 gründen, G2532 und G3844 zwar über G2540 die geeignete Zeit G2244 des Alters G3844 hinaus, G1893 weil G2233 sie G4103 den für treu G2233 achtete, G1861 der die Verheißung gegeben hatte.

12 G1352 Deshalb G1080 sind G2532 auch G575 von G1520 einem, G2532 und G3499 zwar Gestorbenen, G1080 geboren G2531 worden gleichwie G798 die Sterne G3772 des Himmels G4128 an Menge, G2532 und G5616 wie G285 der Sand G3844 am G5491 Ufer G2281 des Meeres, G3588 der G382 unzählig ist.

13 G3778 Diese G3956 alle G599 sind G2596 im G4102 Glauben G599 gestorben G2983 und haben G1860 die Verheißungen G3361 nicht G2983 empfangen, G235 sondern G1492 sahen G846 sie G4207 von ferne G2532 und G782 begrüßten G2532 sie und G3670 bekannten, G3754 daß G3581 sie Fremdlinge G2532 und G3927 ohne Bürgerschaft G1909 auf G1093 der Erde G1526 seien.

14 G1063 Denn G5108 die solches G3004 sagen, G1718 zeigen deutlich, G3754 daß G3968 sie ein Vaterland G1934 suchen.

15 G2532 G3303 Und G1487 wenn G1565 sie an jenes G3421 gedacht G575 hätten, von G3739 welchem G1831 sie ausgegangen G2192 G302 waren, so hätten G2540 sie Zeit G2192 gehabt G344 zurückzukehren.

16 G3570 Jetzt G1161 aber G3713 trachten sie nach G2909 einem besseren, G5123 das ist G2032 himmlischen. G1352 Darum G1870 schämt G2316 sich Gott G3756 ihrer nicht, G846 ihr G2316 Gott G1941 genannt G1063 zu werden, denn G2090 er hat G846 ihnen G4172 eine Stadt G2090 bereitet.

17 G4102 Durch Glauben G4374 hat G11 Abraham, G3985 als er versucht G2464 wurde, den Isaak G4374 geopfert, G2532 und G1860 der, welcher die Verheißungen G324 empfangen G4374 hatte, brachte G3439 den Eingeborenen G4374 dar,

18 G4314 über G3739 welchen G2980 gesagt G1722 worden war: "In G2464 Isaak G2564 soll G4671 dein G4690 Same G2564 genannt werden";

19 G3049 indem er urteilte, G3754 daß G2316 Gott G2532 auch G1537 aus G3498 den Toten G1453 zu erwecken G1415 vermöge, G3606 von woher G846 er ihn G2532 auch G1722 im G3850 Gleichnis G2865 empfing.

20 G4102 Durch Glauben G2127 segnete G2464 Isaak, G4012 in Bezug auf G3195 zukünftige Dinge, G2384 den Jakob G2532 und G2269 den Esau.

21 G4102 Durch Glauben G2127 segnete G2384 Jakob G599 sterbend G1538 einen jeden G5207 der Söhne G2501 Josephs G2532 und G4352 betete an G1909 über G206 der Spitze G846 seines G4464 Stabes.

22 G4102 Durch Glauben G3421 gedachte G2501 Joseph G5053 sterbend G4012 des G1841 Auszugs G5207 der Söhne G2474 Israels G2532 und G1781 gab Befehl G4012 wegen G846 seiner G3747 Gebeine.

23 G4102 Durch Glauben G2928 wurde G3475 Moses, G1080 als er geboren G5150 wurde, drei Monate G5259 von G846 seinen G3962 Eltern G2928 verborgen, G1360 weil G1492 sie sahen, G3813 daß das Kindlein G791 schön G2532 war; und G5399 sie fürchteten G1297 das Gebot G935 des Königs G3756 nicht.

24 G4102 Durch Glauben G720 weigerte G3475 sich Moses, G3173 als er groß G1096 geworden G5207 war, ein Sohn G2364 der Tochter G5328 Pharaos G3004 zu heißen,

25 G2532 und G138 wählte G3123 lieber, G2992 mit dem Volke G2316 Gottes G4778 Ungemach zu leiden, G2228 als G4340 die zeitliche G619 Ergötzung G266 der Sünde G2192 zu haben,

26 G3680 indem er die Schmach G5547 des Christus G3187 für größeren G4149 Reichtum G2233 hielt G3187 als G2344 die Schätze G125 Ägyptens; G1063 denn G578 er schaute G1519 auf G3405 die Belohnung.

27 G4102 Durch Glauben G2641 verließ G125 er Ägypten G5399 und fürchtete G2372 die Wut G935 des Königs G3361 nicht; G1063 denn G2594 er hielt standhaft aus, G5613 als G3708 sähe G517 er den Unsichtbaren.

28 G4102 Durch Glauben G4160 hat G3957 er das Passah G4160 gefeiert G2532 und G4378 die Besprengung G129 des Blutes, G2443 auf daß G3645 der Zerstörer G4416 der Erstgeburt G846 sie G3361 nicht G2345 antaste.

29 G4102 Durch Glauben G1224 gingen sie durch G2063 das Rote G2281 Meer G5613 wie G1223 durch G3584 trockenes G3739 Land, welches G124 die Ägypter G3984 G2983 versuchten G2666 und verschlungen wurden.

30 G4102 Durch Glauben G4098 fielen G5038 die Mauern G2410 Jerichos, G2944 nachdem sie G1909 G2033 sieben G2250 Tage G2944 umzogen waren.

31 G4102 Durch Glauben G4881 kam G4460 Rahab, G4204 die Hure, G3756 nicht G544 mit den Ungläubigen G4881 um, G2685 da sie die Kundschafter G3326 in G1515 Frieden G1209 aufgenommen hatte.

32 G2532 Und G5101 was G3004 soll G2089 ich noch G3004 sagen? G1063 Denn G5550 die Zeit G1952 würde G3165 mir G1952 fehlen, G1334 wenn ich erzählen G4012 wollte von G1066 Gideon G2532 und G913 Barak G2532 und G4546 Simson G2532 und G2422 Jephta, G2532 und G1138 David G2532 G5037 und G4545 Samuel G2532 und G4396 den Propheten,

33 G3739 welche G1223 durch G4102 Glauben G932 Königreiche G2610 bezwangen, G1343 Gerechtigkeit G2038 wirkten, G1860 Verheißungen G2013 erlangten, G3023 der Löwen G4750 Rachen G5420 verstopften,

34 G4442 des Feuers G1411 Kraft G4570 auslöschten, G3162 des Schwertes G4750 Schärfe G5343 entgingen, G575 aus G769 der Schwachheit G1743 Kraft gewannen, G1722 im G4171 Kampfe G2478 stark G1096 wurden, G245 der Fremden G3925 Heerscharen G2827 zurücktrieben.

35 G1135 Weiber G2983 erhielten G846 ihre G3498 Toten G2983 wieder G1537 durch G386 Auferstehung; G243 andere G1161 aber G5178 wurden gefoltert, G629 da sie die Befreiung G3756 nicht G4327 annahmen, G2443 auf daß G2909 sie eine bessere G386 Auferstehung G5177 erlangten.

36 G2087 Andere G1161 aber G2983 wurden G1701 durch Verhöhnung G2532 und G3148 Geißelung G3984 versucht G2532 und G2089 G1161 dazu G1199 durch Bande G2532 und G5438 Gefängnis.

37 G3034 Sie wurden gesteinigt, G4249 zersägt, G3985 versucht, G599 starben G1722 durch G5408 den Tod G3162 des Schwertes, G4022 gingen umher G1722 in G3374 Schafpelzen, G1722 in G122 G1192 Ziegenfellen, G5302 hatten Mangel, G2346 Drangsal, G2558 Ungemach,

38 G3739 [deren G2889 die Welt G3756 nicht G514 wert G2258 war] G4105 irrten umher G1722 in G2047 Wüsten G2532 und G3735 Gebirgen G2532 und G4693 Klüften G2532 und G3692 den Höhlen G1093 der Erde.

39 G2532 Und G3778 diese G3956 alle, G1223 die durch G4102 den Glauben G3140 ein Zeugnis erlangten, G2865 haben G1860 die Verheißung G3756 nicht G2865 empfangen,

40 G2316 da Gott G4012 für G2257 uns G5100 etwas G2909 Besseres G4265 vorgesehen G3363 hat, auf daß0 sie nicht G5565 ohne G2257 uns G5048 vollkommen gemacht würden.

ELB1905⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Durch Glauben brachte Abel Gott ein vorzüglicheres O. größeres Opfer Eig. Schlachtopfer dar als Kain, durch welches O. welchen, di. Glauben er Zeugnis erlangte, daß er gerecht war, indem Gott Zeugnis gab zu seinen Gaben; und durch diesen, O. dieses; O. welchen Glauben obgleich er gestorben ist, redet er noch. ⁵ Durch Glauben ward Henoch entrückt, damit er den Tod nicht sehen sollte, und er wurde nicht gefunden, weil Gott ihn entrückt hatte; denn vor der Entrückung hat er das Zeugnis gehabt, daß er Gott wohlgefallen habe. ⁶ Ohne Glauben aber ist es unmöglich, ihm wohlzugefallen; denn wer Gott naht, muß glauben, daß er ist, und denen, die ihn suchen, ein Belohner ist. ⁷ Durch Glauben bereitete Noah, als er einen göttlichen Ausspruch über das, was noch nicht zu sehen war, empfangen hatte, von Furcht bewegt, eine Arche zur Rettung seines Hauses, durch welche O. dieses; O. welchen Glauben er die Welt verurteilte und Erbe der Gerechtigkeit wurde, die nach dem Glauben ist. ⁸ Durch Glauben war Abraham, als er gerufen wurde, gehorsam, auszuziehen an den Ort, den er zum Erbteil empfangen sollte; und er zog aus, ohne zu wissen, wohin er komme. ⁹ Durch Glauben hielt er sich auf in dem Lande der Verheißung, wie in einem fremden, und wohnte in Zelten mit Isaak und Jakob, den Miterben derselben Verheißung; ¹⁰ denn er erwartete die Stadt, welche Grundlagen hat, deren Baumeister und Schöpfer O. Werkmeister Gott ist. ¹¹ Durch Glauben empfing auch selbst Sara Kraft, einen Samen zu gründen, O. schwanger zu werden und zwar über die geeignete Zeit des Alters hinaus, weil sie den für treu achtete, der die Verheißung gegeben hatte. ¹² Deshalb sind auch von einem, und zwar Gestorbenen, geboren worden gleichwie die Sterne des Himmels an Menge, und wie der Sand am Ufer des Meeres, der unzählig ist. ¹³ Diese alle sind im Glauben O. dem Glauben gemäß gestorben und haben die Verheißungen nicht empfangen, sondern sahen sie von ferne und begrüßten sie und bekannten, daß sie Fremdlinge und ohne Bürgerschaft auf der Erde O. im Lande seien. ¹⁴ Denn die solches sagen, zeigen deutlich, daß sie ein Vaterland suchen. O. begehren ¹⁵ Und wenn sie an jenes gedacht hätten, von welchem sie ausgegangen waren, so hätten sie Zeit gehabt zurückzukehren. ¹⁶ Jetzt aber trachten sie nach einem besseren, das ist himmlischen. Darum schämt sich Gott ihrer nicht, ihr Gott genannt zu werden, denn er hat ihnen eine Stadt bereitet. ¹⁷ Durch Glauben hat Abraham, als er versucht wurde, den Isaak geopfert, und der, welcher die Verheißungen empfangen hatte, brachte den Eingeborenen dar, ¹⁸ über welchen gesagt worden war: »In Isaak soll dein Same genannt werden«; [1.Mose 21,12] ¹⁹ indem er urteilte, daß Gott auch aus den Toten zu erwecken vermöge, von woher er ihn auch im Gleichnis empfing. ²⁰ Durch Glauben segnete Isaak, in Bezug auf zukünftige Dinge, den Jakob und den Esau. ²¹ Durch Glauben segnete Jakob sterbend einen jeden der Söhne Josephs und betete an über der Spitze seines Stabes. dh. sich darüber hinbeugend ²² Durch Glauben gedachte Joseph sterbend W. sein Leben beschließend des Auszugs der Söhne Israels und gab Befehl wegen seiner Gebeine. ²³ Durch Glauben wurde Moses, als er geboren wurde, drei Monate von seinen Eltern verborgen, weil sie sahen, daß das Kindlein schön war; und sie fürchteten das Gebot des Königs nicht. ²⁴ Durch Glauben weigerte sich Moses, als er groß geworden war, ein Sohn der Tochter Pharaos zu heißen, ²⁵ und wählte lieber, mit dem Volke Gottes Ungemach zu leiden, als die zeitliche Ergötzung der Sünde zu haben, ²⁶ indem er die Schmach des Christus für größeren Reichtum hielt als die Schätze Ägyptens; denn er schaute auf die Belohnung. ²⁷ Durch Glauben verließ er Ägypten und fürchtete die Wut des Königs nicht; denn er hielt standhaft aus, als sähe er den Unsichtbaren. ²⁸ Durch Glauben hat er das Passah gefeiert und die Besprengung des Blutes, auf daß der Zerstörer der Erstgeburt sie nicht antaste. ²⁹ Durch Glauben gingen sie durch das Rote Meer wie durch trockenes Land, welches die Ägypter versuchten und verschlungen wurden. ³⁰ Durch Glauben fielen die Mauern Jerichos, nachdem sie sieben Tage umzogen waren. ³¹ Durch Glauben kam Rahab, die Hure, nicht mit den Ungläubigen O.

Denn die Zeit würde mir fehlen, wenn ich erzählen wollte von Gideon und Barak und Simson und Jephta, und David ³³ und Samuel und den Propheten, welche durch Glauben Königreiche bezwangen, Gerechtigkeit wirkten, Verheißungen d. h. das was ihnen verheißen war erlangten, der Löwen Rachen verstopften, ³⁴ des Feuers Kraft auslöschten, des Schwertes Schärfe entgingen, aus der Schwachheit Kraft gewannen, im Kampfe stark wurden, der Fremden Heerscharen zurücktrieben. ³⁵ Weiber erhielten ihre Toten wieder durch Auferstehung; andere aber wurden gefoltert, da sie die Befreiung nicht annahmen, auf daß sie eine bessere Auferstehung erlangten. ³⁶ Andere aber wurden durch Verhöhnung und Geißelung Eig.

4 G4102 Durch Glauben G4374 brachte G6 Abel G2316 Gott G4119 ein vorzüglicheres G2378 Opfer G4374 dar G3844 als G2535 Kain G1223 , durch G3739 welches G3140 er Zeugnis erlangte G1342 , daß er gerecht G1511 war G2316 , indem Gott G3140 Zeugnis gab G1909 zu G846 seinen G1435 Gaben G2532 ; und G1223 durch G846 diesen G599 , obgleich er gestorben G2980 ist, redet G2089 er noch .

5 G4102 Durch Glauben G3346 ward G1802 Henoch G3346 entrückt G2288 , damit er den Tod G3361 nicht G1492 sehen G2532 sollte, und G2147 er wurde G3756 nicht G2147 gefunden G1360 , weil G2316 Gott G846 ihn G3346 entrückt G1063 hatte; denn G4253 vor G846 der G3331 Entrückung G3140 hat er das Zeugnis gehabt G2316 , daß er Gott G2100 wohlgefallen habe.

6 G5565 Ohne G4102 Glauben G1161 aber G102 ist es unmöglich G2100 , ihm wohlzugefallen G1063 ; denn G2316 wer Gott G4334 naht G1163 , muß G4100 glauben G3754 , daß G2076 er ist G2532 , und G846 denen, die ihn G1567 suchen G3406 , ein Belohner G1096 ist .

7 G4102 Durch Glauben G2680 bereitete G3575 Noah G5537 , als er einen göttlichen Ausspruch G4012 über G3369 das, was noch nicht G991 zu sehen G5537 war, empfangen G2125 hatte, von Furcht bewegt G2787 , eine Arche G1519 zur G4991 Rettung G846 seines G3624 Hauses G1223 , durch G3739 welche G2889 er die Welt G2632 verurteilte G2532 und G2818 Erbe G1343 der Gerechtigkeit G1096 wurde G2596 , die nach G4102 dem Glauben ist.

8 G4102 Durch Glauben G5219 war G11 Abraham G2564 , als er gerufen G5219 wurde, gehorsam G1831 , auszuziehen G1519 an G5117 den Ort G3739 , den G1519 er zum G2817 Erbteil G2983 empfangen G3195 sollte G2532 ; und G1831 er zog aus G3361 , ohne G1987 zu wissen G4226 , wohin G2064 er komme .

9 G4102 Durch Glauben G3939 hielt er sich auf G1519 in G1093 dem Lande G1860 der Verheißung G5613 , wie G245 in einem fremden G2532 , und G2730 wohnte G1722 in G4633 Zelten G3326 mit G2464 Isaak G2532 und G2384 Jakob G4789 , den Miterben G846 derselben G1860 Verheißung;

10 G1063 denn G1551 er erwartete G4172 die Stadt G2310 , welche Grundlagen G2192 hat G3739 , deren G5079 Baumeister G2532 und G1217 Schöpfer G2316 Gott ist.

11 G4102 Durch Glauben G2983 empfing G2532 auch G846 selbst G4564 Sara G1411 Kraft G4690 , einen Samen G1519 zu G2602 gründen G2532 , und G3844 zwar über G2540 die geeignete Zeit G2244 des Alters G3844 hinaus G1893 , weil G2233 sie G4103 den für treu G2233 achtete G1861 , der die Verheißung gegeben hatte.

12 G1352 Deshalb G1080 sind G2532 auch G575 von G1520 einem G2532 , und G3499 zwar Gestorbenen G1080 , geboren G2531 worden gleichwie G798 die Sterne G3772 des Himmels G4128 an Menge G2532 , und G5616 wie G285 der Sand G3844 am G5491 Ufer G2281 des Meeres G3588 , der G382 unzählig ist.

13 G3778 Diese G3956 alle G599 sind G2596 im G4102 Glauben G599 gestorben G2983 und haben G1860 die Verheißungen G3361 nicht G2983 empfangen G235 , sondern G1492 sahen G846 sie G4207 von ferne G2532 und G782 begrüßten G2532 sie und G3670 bekannten G3754 , daß G3581 sie Fremdlinge G2532 und G3927 ohne Bürgerschaft G1909 auf G1093 der Erde G1526 seien .

14 G1063 Denn G5108 die solches G3004 sagen G1718 , zeigen deutlich G3754 , daß G3968 sie ein Vaterland G1934 suchen .

15 G2532 -G3303 Und G1487 wenn G1565 sie an jenes G3421 gedacht G575 hätten, von G3739 welchem G1831 sie ausgegangen G302 -G2192 waren, so hätten G2540 sie Zeit G2192 gehabt G344 zurückzukehren .

16 G3570 Jetzt G1161 aber G3713 trachten sie nach G2909 einem besseren G5123 , das ist G2032 himmlischen G1352 . Darum G1870 schämt G2316 sich Gott G3756 ihrer nicht G846 , ihr G2316 Gott G1941 genannt G1063 zu werden, denn G2090 er hat G846 ihnen G4172 eine Stadt G2090 bereitet .

17 G4102 Durch Glauben G4374 hat G11 Abraham G3985 , als er versucht G2464 wurde, den Isaak G4374 geopfert G2532 , und G1860 der, welcher die Verheißungen G324 empfangen G4374 hatte, brachte G3439 den Eingeborenen G4374 dar,

18 G4314 über G3739 welchen G2980 gesagt G1722 worden war:" In G2464 Isaak G2564 soll G4671 dein G4690 Same G2564 genannt werden ";

19 G3049 indem er urteilte G3754 , daß G2316 Gott G2532 auch G1537 aus G3498 den Toten G1453 zu erwecken G1415 vermöge G3606 , von woher G846 er ihn G2532 auch G1722 im G3850 Gleichnis G2865 empfing .

20 G4102 Durch Glauben G2127 segnete G2464 Isaak G4012 , in Bezug auf G3195 zukünftige Dinge G2384 , den Jakob G2532 und G2269 den Esau .

21 G4102 Durch Glauben G2127 segnete G2384 Jakob G599 sterbend G1538 einen jeden G5207 der Söhne G2501 Josephs G2532 und G4352 betete an G1909 über G206 der Spitze G846 seines G4464 Stabes .

22 G4102 Durch Glauben G3421 gedachte G2501 Joseph G5053 sterbend G4012 des G1841 Auszugs G5207 der Söhne G2474 Israels G2532 und G1781 gab Befehl G4012 wegen G846 seiner G3747 Gebeine .

23 G4102 Durch Glauben G2928 wurde G3475 Moses G1080 , als er geboren G5150 wurde, drei Monate G5259 von G846 seinen G3962 Eltern G2928 verborgen G1360 , weil G1492 sie sahen G3813 , daß das Kindlein G791 schön G2532 war; und G5399 sie fürchteten G1297 das Gebot G935 des Königs G3756 nicht .

24 G4102 Durch Glauben G720 weigerte G3475 sich Moses G3173 , als er groß G1096 geworden G5207 war, ein Sohn G2364 der Tochter G5328 Pharaos G3004 zu heißen,

25 G2532 und G138 wählte G3123 lieber G2992 , mit dem Volke G2316 Gottes G4778 Ungemach zu leiden G2228 , als G4340 die zeitliche G619 Ergötzung G266 der Sünde G2192 zu haben,

26 G3680 indem er die Schmach G5547 des Christus G3187 für größeren G4149 Reichtum G2233 hielt G3187 als G2344 die Schätze G125 Ägyptens G1063 ; denn G578 er schaute G1519 auf G3405 die Belohnung .

27 G4102 Durch Glauben G2641 verließ G125 er Ägypten G5399 und fürchtete G2372 die Wut G935 des Königs G3361 nicht G1063 ; denn G2594 er hielt standhaft aus G5613 , als G3708 sähe G517 er den Unsichtbaren .

28 G4102 Durch Glauben G4160 hat G3957 er das Passah G4160 gefeiert G2532 und G4378 die Besprengung G129 des Blutes G2443 , auf daß G3645 der Zerstörer G4416 der Erstgeburt G846 sie G3361 nicht G2345 antaste .

29 G4102 Durch Glauben G1224 gingen sie durch G2063 das Rote G2281 Meer G5613 wie G1223 durch G3584 trockenes G3739 Land, welches G124 die Ägypter G2983 -G3984 versuchten G2666 und verschlungen wurden.

30 G4102 Durch Glauben G4098 fielen G5038 die Mauern G2410 Jerichos G2944 , nachdem sie G1909 -G2033 sieben G2250 Tage G2944 umzogen waren.

31 G4102 Durch Glauben G4881 kam G4460 Rahab G4204 , die Hure G3756 , nicht G544 mit den Ungläubigen G4881 um G2685 , da sie die Kundschafter G3326 in G1515 Frieden G1209 aufgenommen hatte.

32 G2532 Und G5101 was G3004 soll G2089 ich noch G3004 sagen G1063 ? Denn G5550 die Zeit G1952 würde G3165 mir G1952 fehlen G1334 , wenn ich erzählen G4012 wollte von G1066 Gideon G2532 und G913 Barak G2532 und G4546 Simson G2532 und G2422 Jephta G2532 , und G1138 David G2532 -G5037 und G4545 Samuel G2532 und G4396 den Propheten,

33 G3739 welche G1223 durch G4102 Glauben G932 Königreiche G2610 bezwangen G1343 , Gerechtigkeit G2038 wirkten G1860 , Verheißungen G2013 erlangten G3023 , der Löwen G4750 Rachen G5420 verstopften,

34 G4442 des Feuers G1411 Kraft G4570 auslöschten G3162 , des Schwertes G4750 Schärfe G5343 entgingen G575 , aus G769 der Schwachheit G1743 Kraft gewannen G1722 , im G4171 Kampfe G2478 stark G1096 wurden G245 , der Fremden G3925 Heerscharen G2827 zurücktrieben .

35 G1135 Weiber G2983 erhielten G846 ihre G3498 Toten G2983 wieder G1537 durch G386 Auferstehung G243 ; andere G1161 aber G5178 wurden gefoltert G629 , da sie die Befreiung G3756 nicht G4327 annahmen G2443 , auf daß G2909 sie eine bessere G386 Auferstehung G5177 erlangten .

36 G2087 Andere G1161 aber G1701 wurden durch Verhöhnung G2532 und G3148 Geißelung G3984 versucht G2532 und G1161 -G2089 dazu G1199 durch Bande G2532 und G5438 Gefängnis .

37 G3034 Sie wurden gesteinigt G4249 , zersägt G3985 , versucht G599 , starben G1722 durch G5408 den Tod G3162 des Schwertes G4022 , gingen umher G1722 in G3374 Schafpelzen G1722 , in G122 -G1192 Ziegenfellen G5302 , hatten Mangel G2346 , Drangsal G2558 , Ungemach,

38 G3739 [ deren G2889 die Welt G3756 nicht G514 wert G2258 war G4105 ] umher G1722 in G2047 Wüsten G2532 und G3735 Gebirgen G2532 und G4693 Klüften G2532 und G3692 den Höhlen G1093 der Erde .

39 G2532 Und G3778 diese G3956 alle G1223 , die durch G4102 den Glauben G3140 ein Zeugnis erlangten G2865 , haben G1860 die Verheißung G3756 nicht G2865 empfangen,

40 G2316 da Gott G4012 für G2257 uns G5100 etwas G2909 Besseres G4265 vorgesehen G2443 hat, auf daß G3361 sie nicht G5565 ohne G2257 uns G5048 vollkommen gemacht würden.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Door het geloof heeft Abel een meerdere offerande Gode geofferd dan Kaïn, door hetwelk hij getuigenis bekomen heeft, dat hij rechtvaardig was, alzo God over zijn gave getuigenis gaf; en door hetzelve geloof spreekt hij nog, nadat hij gestorven is. ⁵ Door het geloof is Enoch weggenomen geweest, opdat hij den dood niet zou zien; en hij werd niet gevonden, daarom dat hem God weggenomen had; want voor zijn wegneming heeft hij getuigenis gehad, dat hij Gode behaagde. ⁶ Maar zonder geloof is het onmogelijk Gode te behagen. Want die tot God komt, moet geloven, dat Hij is, en een Beloner is dergenen, die Hem zoeken. ⁷ Door het geloof heeft Noach, door Goddelijke aanspraak vermaand zijnde van de dingen, die nog niet gezien werden, en bevreesd geworden zijnde, de ark toebereid tot behoudenis van zijn huisgezin; door welke ark hij de wereld heeft veroordeeld, en is geworden een erfgenaam der rechtvaardigheid, die naar het geloof is. ⁸ Door het geloof is Abraham, geroepen zijnde, gehoorzaam geweest, om uit te gaan naar de plaats, die hij tot een erfdeel ontvangen zou; en hij is uitgegaan, niet wetende, waar hij komen zou. ⁹ Door het geloof is hij een inwoner geweest in het land der belofte, als in een vreemd land, en heeft in tabernakelen gewoond met Izak en Jakob, die medeerfgenamen waren derzelfde belofte. ¹⁰ Want hij verwachtte de stad, die fondamenten heeft, welker Kunstenaar en Bouwmeester God is. ¹¹ Door het geloof heeft ook Sara zelve kracht ontvangen, om zaad te geven, en boven den tijd haars ouderdoms heeft zij gebaard; overmits zij Hem getrouw heeft geacht, Die het beloofd had. ¹² Daarom zijn ook van een, en dat een verstorvene, zovelen in menigte geboren, als de sterren des hemels, en als het zand, dat aan den oever der zee is, hetwelk ontallijk is. ¹³ Deze allen zijn in het geloof gestorven, de beloften niet verkregen hebbende, maar hebben dezelve van verre gezien, en geloofd, en omhelsd, en hebben beleden, dat zij gasten en vreemdelingen op de aarde waren. ¹⁴ Want die zulke dingen zeggen, betonen klaarlijk, dat zij een vaderland zoeken. ¹⁵ En indien zij aan dat vaderland gedacht hadden, van hetwelk zij uitgegaan waren, zij zouden tijd gehad hebben, om weder te keren; ¹⁶ Maar nu zijn zij begerig naar een beter, dat is, naar het hemelse. Daarom schaamt Zich God hunner niet, om hun God genaamd te worden; want Hij had hun een stad bereid. ¹⁷ Door het geloof heeft Abraham, als hij verzocht werd, Izak geofferd, en hij, die de beloften ontvangen had, heeft zijn eniggeborene geofferd, ¹⁸ (Tot denwelken gezegd was: In Izak zal u het zaad genoemd worden) overleggende, dat God machtig was, hem ook uit de doden te verwekken; ¹⁹ Waaruit hij hem ook bij gelijkenis wedergekregen heeft. ²⁰ Door het geloof heeft Izak zijn zonen Jakob en Ezau gezegend aangaande toekomende dingen. ²¹ Door het geloof heeft Jakob, stervende, een iegelijk der zonen van Jozef gezegend, en heeft aangebeden, leunende op het opperste van zijn staf. ²² Door het geloof heeft Jozef, stervende, gemeld van den uitgang der kinderen Israëls, en heeft bevel gegeven van zijn gebeente. ²³ Door het geloof werd Mozes, toen hij geboren was, drie maanden lang van zijn ouders verborgen, overmits zij zagen, dat het kindeken schoon was; en zij vreesden het gebod des konings niet. ²⁴ Door het geloof heeft Mozes, nu groot geworden zijnde, geweigerd een zoon van Farao's dochter genoemd te worden; ²⁵ Verkiezende liever met het volk van God kwalijk gehandeld te worden, dan voor een tijd de genieting der zonde te hebben; ²⁶ Achtende de versmaadheid van Christus meerderen rijkdom te zijn, dan de schatten in Egypte; want hij zag op de vergelding des loons. ²⁷ Door het geloof heeft hij Egypte verlaten, niet vrezende den toorn des konings; want hij hield zich vast, als ziende den Onzienlijke. ²⁸ Door het geloof heeft hij het pascha uitgericht, en de besprenging des bloeds, opdat de verderver der eerstgeborenen hen niet raken zou. ²⁹ Door het geloof zijn zij de Rode zee doorgegaan, als door het droge; hetwelk de Egyptenaars, ook verzoekende, zijn verdronken. ³⁰ Door het geloof zijn de muren van Jericho gevallen, als zij tot zeven dagen toe omringd waren geweest. ³¹ Door het geloof is Rachab, de hoer, niet omgekomen met de ongehoorzamen, als zij de verspieders met vrede had ontvangen. ³² En wat zal ik nog meer zeggen? Want de tijd zal mij ontbreken, zou ik verhalen van Gideon, en Barak, en Samson, en Jeftha, en David, en Samuël, en de profeten; ³³ Welken door het geloof koninkrijken hebben overwonnen, gerechtigheid geoefend, de beloftenissen verkregen, de muilen der leeuwen toegestopt; ³⁴ De kracht des vuurs hebben uitgeblust, de scherpte des zwaards zijn ontvloden, uit zwakheid krachten hebben gekregen, in den krijg sterk geworden zijn, heirlegers der vreemden op de vlucht hebben gebracht; ³⁵ De vrouwen hebben hare doden uit de opstanding weder gekregen; en anderen zijn uitgerekt geworden, de aangeboden verlossing niet aannemende, opdat zij een betere opstanding verkrijgen zouden. ³⁶ En anderen hebben bespottingen en geselen geproefd, en ook banden en gevangenis; ³⁷ Zijn gestenigd geworden, in stukken gezaagd, verzocht, door het zwaard ter dood gebracht; hebben gewandeld in schaapsvellen en in geitenvellen; verlaten, verdrukt, kwalijk gehandeld zijnde; ³⁸ (Welker de wereld niet waardig was) hebben in woestijnen gedoold, en op bergen, en in spelonken, en in holen der aarde. ³⁹ En deze allen, hebbende door het geloof getuigenis gehad, hebben de belofte niet verkregen; ⁴⁰ Alzo God wat beters over ons voorzien had, opdat zij zonder ons niet zouden volmaakt worden.

4 G4102 Door het geloof G6 heeft Abel G4119 een meerdere G2378 offerande G2316 Gode G4374 G5656 geofferd G3844 dan G2535 Kain G1223 , door G3739 hetwelk G3140 G5681 hij getuigenis bekomen heeft G1342 , dat hij rechtvaardig G1511 G5750 was G2316 , alzo God G1909 over G846 zijn G1435 gave G3140 G5723 getuigenis gaf G2532 ; en G1223 door G846 hetzelve G2980 G5719 G5625 G2980 G5731 [geloof] spreekt hij G2089 nog G599 G5631 , nadat hij gestorven is.

5 G4102 Door het geloof G1802 is Enoch G3346 G5681 weggenomen geweest G2288 , opdat hij den dood G3361 niet G1492 G5629 zou zien G2532 ; en G3756 hij werd niet G2147 G5712 gevonden G1360 , daarom dat G846 hem G2316 God G3346 G5656 weggenomen had G1063 ; want G4253 voor G846 zijn G3331 wegneming G3140 G5769 heeft hij getuigenis gehad G2316 , dat hij Gode G2100 G5760 behaagde.

6 G1161 Maar G5565 zonder G4102 geloof G102 is het onmogelijk G2100 G5658 [Gode] te behagen G1063 . Want G2316 die tot God G4334 G5740 komt G1163 G5748 , moet G4100 G5658 geloven G3754 , dat G2076 G5748 Hij is G2532 , en G3406 een Beloner G1096 G5736 is G846 dergenen, die Hem G1567 G5723 zoeken.

7 G4102 Door het geloof G3575 heeft Noach G5537 G5685 , door Goddelijke aanspraak vermaand zijnde G4012 van G3369 de dingen, die nog niet G991 G5746 gezien werden G2125 G5685 , [en] bevreesd geworden zijnde G2787 , de ark G2680 G5656 toebereid G1519 tot G4991 behoudenis G846 van zijn G3624 huisgezin G1223 ; door G3739 welke G2889 [ark] hij de wereld G2632 G5656 heeft veroordeeld G2532 , en G1096 G5633 is geworden G2818 een erfgenaam G1343 der rechtvaardigheid G2596 , die naar G4102 het geloof is.

8 G4102 Door het geloof G11 is Abraham G2564 G5746 , geroepen zijnde G5219 G5656 , gehoorzaam geweest G1831 G5629 , om uit te gaan G1519 naar G5117 de plaats G3739 , die G1519 hij tot G2817 een erfdeel G2983 G5721 ontvangen G3195 G5707 zou G2532 ; en G1831 G5627 hij is uitgegaan G3361 , niet G1987 G5740 wetende G4226 , waar G2064 G5736 hij komen zou.

9 G4102 Door het geloof G3939 G5656 is hij een inwoner geweest G1519 in G1093 het land G1860 der belofte G5613 , als G245 in een vreemd G1722 [land], en heeft in G4633 tabernakelen G2730 G5660 gewoond G3326 met G2464 Izak G2532 en G2384 Jakob G4789 , die medeerfgenamen G846 waren derzelfde G1860 belofte.

10 G1063 Want G1551 G5711 hij verwachtte G4172 de stad G2310 , die fondamenten G2192 G5723 heeft G3739 , welker G5079 Kunstenaar G2532 en G1217 Bouwmeester G2316 God is.

11 G4102 Door het geloof G2532 heeft ook G4564 Sara G846 zelve G1411 kracht G2983 G5627 ontvangen G1519 , om G4690 zaad G2602 te geven G2532 , en G3844 boven G2540 den tijd G2244 [haars] ouderdoms G5088 G5627 heeft zij gebaard G1893 ; overmits G4103 zij Hem getrouw G2233 G5662 heeft geacht G1861 G5666 , Die het beloofd had.

12 G1352 Daarom G2532 zijn ook G575 van G1520 een G2532 , en G5023 dat G3499 G5772 een verstorvene G4128 , [zovelen] in menigte G1080 G5681 geboren G2531 , als G798 de sterren G3772 des hemels G2532 , en G5616 als G285 het zand G3588 , dat G3844 aan G5491 den oever G2281 der zee G382 is, hetwelk ontallijk is.

13 G3778 Deze G3956 allen G2596 zijn in G4102 het geloof G599 G5627 gestorven G1860 , de beloften G3361 niet G2983 G5631 verkregen hebbende G235 , maar G846 hebben dezelve G4207 van verre G1492 G5631 gezien G2532 , en G3982 G5685 geloofd G2532 , en G782 G5666 omhelsd G2532 , en G3670 G5660 hebben beleden G3754 , dat G3581 zij gasten G2532 en G3927 vreemdelingen G1909 op G1093 de aarde G1526 G5748 waren.

14 G1063 Want G5108 die zulke dingen G3004 G5723 zeggen G1718 G5719 , betonen klaarlijk G3754 , dat G3968 zij een vaderland G1934 G5719 zoeken.

15 G2532 G3303 En G1487 indien G1565 zij aan dat G3421 G5707 [vaderland] gedacht hadden G575 , van G3739 hetwelk G1831 G5627 zij uitgegaan waren G302 , zij zouden G2540 tijd G2192 G5707 gehad hebben G344 G5658 , om weder te keren;

16 G1161 Maar G3570 nu G3713 G5734 zijn zij begerig G2909 naar een beter G5123 G5748 , dat is G2032 , naar het hemelse G1352 . Daarom G1870 G5736 schaamt Zich G2316 God G3756 hunner niet G846 , om hun G2316 God G1941 G5745 genaamd te worden G1063 ; want G846 Hij had hun G4172 een stad G2090 G5656 bereid.

17 G4102 Door het geloof G11 heeft Abraham G3985 G5746 , als hij verzocht werd G2464 , Izak G4374 G5754 geofferd G2532 , en G1860 hij, die de beloften G324 G5666 ontvangen had G3439 , heeft [zijn] eniggeborene G4374 G5707 geofferd,

18 G4314 (Tot G3739 denwelken G2980 G5681 gezegd was G3754 : G1722 In G2464 Izak G4671 zal u G4690 het zaad G2564 G5701 genoemd worden G3049 G5666 ) overleggende G3754 , dat G2316 God G1415 machtig G2532 was, [hem] ook G1537 uit G3498 de doden G1453 G5721 te verwekken;

19 G3606 Waaruit G846 hij hem G2532 ook G1722 bij G3850 gelijkenis G2865 G5668 wedergekregen heeft.

20 G4102 Door het geloof G2464 heeft Izak G2384 [zijn] [zonen] Jakob G2532 en G2269 Ezau G2127 G5656 gezegend G4012 aangaande G3195 G5723 toekomende dingen.

21 G4102 Door het geloof G2384 heeft Jakob G599 G5723 , stervende G1538 , een iegelijk G5207 der zonen G2501 van Jozef G2127 G5656 gezegend G2532 , en G4352 G5656 heeft aangebeden G1909 , [leunende] op G206 het opperste G846 van zijn G4464 staf.

22 G4102 Door het geloof G2501 heeft Jozef G5053 G5723 , stervende G3421 G5656 , gemeld G4012 van G1841 den uitgang G5207 der kinderen G2474 Israels G2532 , en G1781 G5662 heeft bevel gegeven G4012 van G846 zijn G3747 gebeente.

23 G4102 Door het geloof G3475 werd Mozes G1080 G5685 , toen hij geboren was G5150 , drie maanden G5259 lang van G846 zijn G3962 ouders G2928 G5648 verborgen G1360 , overmits G1492 G5627 zij zagen G3813 , dat het kindeken G791 schoon G2532 was; en G5399 G5675 zij vreesden G1297 het gebod G935 des konings G3756 niet.

24 G4102 Door het geloof G3475 heeft Mozes G3173 , nu groot G1096 G5637 geworden zijnde G720 G5662 , geweigerd G5207 een zoon G5328 van Farao's G2364 dochter G3004 G5745 genoemd te worden;

25 G138 G5642 Verkiezende G3123 liever G2992 met het volk G2316 van God G4778 G5738 kwalijk gehandeld te worden G2228 , dan G4340 voor een tijd G619 de genieting G266 der zonde G2192 G5721 te hebben;

26 G2233 G5666 Achtende G3680 de versmaadheid G5547 van Christus G3187 meerderen G4149 rijkdom G2344 te zijn, dan de schatten G1722 in G125 Egypte G1063 ; want G578 G5707 hij zag G1519 op G3405 de vergelding des loons.

27 G4102 Door het geloof G125 heeft hij Egypte G2641 G5627 verlaten G3361 , niet G5399 G5679 vrezende G2372 den toorn G935 des konings G1063 ; want G2594 G5656 hij hield zich vast G5613 , als G3708 G5723 ziende G517 den Onzienlijke.

28 G4102 Door het geloof G3957 heeft hij het pascha G4160 G5758 uitgericht G2532 , en G4378 de besprenging G129 des bloeds G2443 , opdat G3645 G5723 de verderver G4416 der eerstgeborenen G846 hen G3361 niet G2345 G5632 raken zou.

29 G4102 Door het geloof G2063 zijn zij de Rode G2281 zee G1224 G5627 doorgegaan G5613 , als G1223 door G3584 het droge G3739 ; hetwelk G124 de Egyptenaars G3984 G2983 G5631 , [ook] verzoekende G2666 G5681 , zijn verdronken.

30 G4102 Door het geloof G5038 zijn de muren G2410 van Jericho G4098 G5627 gevallen G1909 , als zij tot G2033 zeven G2250 dagen G2944 G5685 toe omringd waren geweest.

31 G4102 Door het geloof G4460 is Rachab G4204 , de hoer G3756 , niet G4881 G5639 omgekomen G544 G5660 met de ongehoorzamen G2685 , als zij de verspieders G3326 met G1515 vrede G1209 G5666 had ontvangen.

32 G2532 En G5101 wat G2089 zal ik nog G3004 G5725 [meer] zeggen G1063 ? Want G5550 de tijd G3165 zal mij G1952 G5692 ontbreken G1334 G5740 , zou ik verhalen G4012 van G1066 Gideon G5037 , en G913 Barak G2532 , en G4546 Samson G2532 , en G2422 Jeftha G2532 , en G1138 David G5037 , en G4545 Samuel G2532 , en G4396 de profeten;

33 G3739 Welken G1223 door G4102 het geloof G932 koninkrijken G2610 G5662 hebben overwonnen G1343 , gerechtigheid G2038 G5662 geoefend G1860 , de beloftenissen G2013 G5627 verkregen G4750 , de muilen G3023 der leeuwen G5420 G5656 toegestopt;

34 G1411 De kracht G4442 des vuurs G4570 G5656 hebben uitgeblust G4750 , de scherpte G3162 des zwaards G5343 G5627 zijn ontvloden G575 , uit G769 zwakheid G1743 G5681 krachten hebben gekregen G1722 , in G4171 den krijg G2478 sterk G1096 G5675 geworden zijn G3925 , heirlegers G245 der vreemden G2827 G5656 op de vlucht hebben gebracht;

35 G1135 De vrouwen G846 hebben hare G3498 doden G1537 uit G386 de opstanding G2983 G5627 [weder] gekregen G1161 ; en G243 anderen G5178 G5681 zijn uitgerekt geworden G629 , de [aangeboden] verlossing G3756 niet G4327 G5666 aannemende G2443 , opdat G2909 zij een betere G386 opstanding G5177 G5632 verkrijgen zouden.

36 G1161 En G2087 anderen G1701 hebben bespottingen G2532 en G3148 geselen G3984 G2983 G5627 geproefd G1161 , en G2089 ook G1199 banden G2532 en G5438 gevangenis;

37 G3034 G5681 Zijn gestenigd geworden G4249 G5681 , in stukken gezaagd G3985 G5681 , verzocht G1722 , door G5408 G3162 het zwaard G599 G5627 ter dood gebracht G4022 G5627 ; hebben gewandeld G1722 in G3374 schaapsvellen G1722 [en] in G122 G1192 geitenvellen G5302 G5746 ; verlaten G2346 G5746 , verdrukt G2558 G5746 , kwalijk gehandeld zijnde;

38 G3739 (Welker G2889 de wereld G3756 niet G514 waardig G2258 G5713 was G1722 ) hebben in G2047 woestijnen G4105 G5746 gedoold G2532 , en G3735 [op] bergen G2532 , en G4693 [in] spelonken G2532 , en G3692 [in] holen G1093 der aarde.

39 G2532 En G3778 deze G3956 allen G1223 , hebbende door G4102 het geloof G3140 G5685 getuigenis gehad G1860 , hebben de belofte G3756 niet G2865 G5668 verkregen;

40 G2316 Alzo God G5100 wat G2909 beters G4012 over G2257 ons G4265 G5671 voorzien had G2443 , opdat G5565 zij zonder G2257 ons G3363 niet G5048 G5686 zouden volmaakt worden.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴
Par la foi, Abel offrit à Dieu un plus excellent sacrifice que Caïn, et par ce sacrifice il a reçu le témoignage d'être juste, Dieu rendant témoignage à ses dons; et par lui, étant mort, il parle encore. ⁵ Par la foi, Énoch fut enlevé pour qu'il ne vît pas la mort; et il ne fut pas trouvé, parce que Dieu l'avait enlevé; car, avant son enlèvement, il a reçu le témoignage d'avoir plu à Dieu. ⁶ Or, sans la foi il est impossible de lui plaire; car il faut que celui qui s'approche de Dieu croie que Dieu est, et qu'il est le rémunérateur de ceux qui le recherchent. ⁷ Par la foi, Noé, étant averti divinement des choses qui ne se voyaient pas encore, craignit et bâtit une arche pour la conservation de sa maison; et par cette arche il condamna le monde et devint héritier de la justice qui est selon la foi. ⁸ Par la foi, Abraham, étant appelé, obéit pour s'en aller au lieu qu'il devait recevoir pour héritage; et il s'en alla, ne sachant où il allait. ⁹ Par la foi, il demeura dans la terre de la promesse comme dans une terre étrangère, demeurant sous des tentes avec Isaac et Jacob, les cohéritiers de la même promesse; ¹⁰ car il attendait la cité qui a les fondements, de laquelle Dieu est l'architecte et le créateur. ¹¹ Par la foi, Sara elle-même aussi reçut la force de fonder une postérité, et cela, étant hors d'âge, puisqu'elle estima fidèle celui qui avait promis; ¹² c'est pourquoi aussi d'un seul, et d'un homme déjà amorti, sont nés des gens qui sont comme les étoile du ciel en nombre et comme le sable qui est sur le rivage de la mer, lequel ne peut se compter. ¹³ Tous ceux-ci sont morts dans la foi, n'ayant pas reçu les choses promises, mais les ayant vues de loin et saluées, ayant confessé qu'ils étaient étrangers et forains sur la terre. ¹⁴ Car ceux qui disent de telles choses montrent clairement qu'ils recherchent une patrie; ¹⁵ et en effet, s'ils se fussent souvenus de celle d'où ils étaient sortis, ils auraient eu du temps pour y retourner; ¹⁶ mais maintenant ils en désirent une meilleure, c'est-à-dire une céleste; c'est pourquoi Dieu n'a point honte d'eux, savoir d'être appelé leur Dieu, car il leur a préparé une cité. ¹⁷ Par la foi, Abraham, étant éprouvé, a offert Isaac; et celui qui avait reçu les promesses offrit son fils unique, ¹⁸ à l'égard duquel il avait été dit: "En Isaac te sera appelée une semence", ¹⁹ ayant estimé que Dieu pouvait le ressusciter même d'entre les morts, d'où aussi, en figure, il le reçut. ²⁰ Par la foi, Isaac bénit Jacob et Ésaü à l'égard des choses à venir. ²¹ Par la foi, Jacob mourant bénit chacun des fils de Joseph, et adora appuyé sur le bout de son bâton. ²² Par la foi, Joseph, en terminant sa vie, fit mention de la sortie des fils d'Israël et donna un ordre touchant ses os. ²³ Par la foi, Moïse, étant né, fut caché trois mois par ses parents, parce qu'ils virent que l'enfant était beau, et ils ne craignirent pas l'ordonnance du roi. ²⁴ Par la foi, Moïse, étant devenu grand, refusa d'être appelé fils de la fille du Pharaon, ²⁵ choisissant plutôt d'être dans l'affliction avec le peuple de Dieu, que de jouir pour un temps des délices du péché, ²⁶ estimant l'opprobre du Christ un plus grand trésor que les richesses de l'Égypte; car il regardait à la rémunération. ²⁷ Par la foi, il quitta l'Égypte, ne craignant pas la colère du roi, car il tint ferme, comme voyant celui qui est invisible. ²⁸ Par la foi, il a fait la pâque et l'aspersion du sang, afin que le destructeur des premiers-nés ne les touchât pas. ²⁹ Par la foi, ils traversèrent la mer Rouge comme une terre sèche, ce que les Égyptiens ayant essayé, ils furent engloutis. ³⁰ Par la foi, les murs de Jéricho tombèrent, après qu'on en eut fait le tour sept jours durant. ³¹ Par la foi, Rahab, la prostituée, ne périt pas avec ceux qui n'ont pas cru, ayant reçu les espions en paix. ³²
Et que dirai-je davantage? Car le temps me manquera si je discours de Gédéon, de Barac et de Samson et de Jephté, de David et de Samuel et des prophètes, ³³ par la foi subjuguèrent des royaumes, accomplirent la justice, obtinrent les choses promises, fermèrent la gueule des lions, ³⁴ éteignirent la force du feu, échappèrent au tranchant de l'épée, de faibles qu'ils étaient furent rendus vigoureux, devinrent forts dans la bataille, firent ployer les armées des étrangers. ³⁵ Les femmes reçurent leurs morts par la résurrection; et d'autres furent torturés, n'acceptant pas la délivrance, afin d'obtenir une meilleure résurrection; ³⁶ et d'autres furent éprouvés par des moqueries et par des coups, et encore par des liens et par la prison; ³⁷ ils furent lapidés, sciés, tentés; ils moururent égorgés par l'épée; ils errèrent ça et là, vêtus de peaux de brebis, de peaux de chèvres, dans le besoin, affligés, maltraités, ³⁸ (desquels le monde n'était pas digne), errant dans les déserts et les montagnes, et les cavernes et les trous de la terre. ³⁹ Et tous ceux-ci, ayant reçu témoignage par la foi, n'ont pas reçu ce qui avait été promis, ⁴⁰ Dieu ayant eu en vue quelque chose de meilleur pour nous, afin qu'ils ne parvinssent pas à la perfection sans nous.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Par la foi Abel offrit à Dieu un plus excellent sacrifice que Caïn, et par elle il obtint le témoignage d'être juste, à cause que Dieu rendait témoignage de ses dons; et lui étant mort parle encore par elle. ⁵ Par la foi Enoch fut enlevé pour ne point passer par la mort; et il ne fut point trouvé, parce que Dieu l'avait enlevé; car avant qu'il fût enlevé il a obtenu le témoignage d'avoir été agréable à Dieu. ⁶ Or il est impossible de lui être agréable sans la foi; car il faut que celui qui vient à Dieu, croie que Dieu est, et qu'il est le rémunérateur de ceux qui le cherchent. ⁷ Par la foi Noé ayant été divinement averti des choses qui ne se voyaient point encore, craignit, et bâtit l'Arche pour la conservation de sa famille, et par cette Arche il condamna le monde, et fut fait héritier de la justice qui est selon la foi. ⁸ Par la foi Abraham étant appelé, obéit, pour aller en la terre, qu'il devait recevoir en héritage, et il partit sans savoir où il allait. ⁹ Par la foi il demeura comme étranger en la terre, qui lui avait été promise, comme si elle ne lui eût point appartenu, demeurant sous des tentes avec Isaac et Jacob, qui étaient héritiers avec lui de la même promesse. ¹⁰ Car il attendait la cité qui a des fondements, et de laquelle Dieu est l'architecte, et le fondateur. ¹¹ Par la foi aussi Sara reçut la vertu de concevoir un enfant, et elle enfanta hors d'âge, parce qu'elle fut persuadée que celui qui le lui avait promis, était fidèle. ¹² C'est pourquoi d'un seul, et qui même était amorti, sont nés des gens qui égalent en nombre les étoiles du ciel, et le sable qui est sur le rivage de la mer, lequel ne se peut nombrer. ¹³ Tous ceux-ci sont morts en la foi, sans avoir reçu les choses dont ils avaient eu les promesses, mais ils les ont vues de loin, crues, et saluées, et ils ont fait profession qu'ils étaient étrangers et voyageurs sur la terre. ¹⁴ Car ceux qui tiennent ces discours montrent clairement qu'ils cherchent encore leur pays. ¹⁵ Et certes, s'ils eussent rappelé dans leur souvenir celui dont ils étaient sortis, ils avaient du temps pour y retourner. ¹⁶ Mais ils en désiraient un meilleur, c'est-à-dire, le céleste; c'est pourquoi Dieu ne prend point à honte d'être appelé leur Dieu, parce qu'il leur avait préparé une Cité. ¹⁷ Par la foi, Abraham étant éprouvé, offrit Isaac; celui, dis-je, qui avait reçu les promesses, offrit même son fils unique. ¹⁸ A l'égard duquel il lui avait été dit : les descendants d'Isaac seront ta véritable postérité. ¹⁹ Ayant estimé que Dieu le pouvait même ressusciter d'entre les morts; c'est pourquoi aussi il le recouvra par une espèce de résurrection. ²⁰ Par la foi Isaac donna à Jacob et à Esaü une bénédiction qui regardait l'avenir. ²¹ Par la foi Jacob en mourant bénit chacun des fils de Joseph, et se prosterna devant Dieu étant appuyé sur le bout de son bâton. ²² Par la foi Joseph en mourant fit mention de la sortie des enfants d'Israël, et donna un ordre touchant ses os. ²³ Par la foi Moïse étant né fut caché trois mois par ses père et mère, parce que c'était un très bel enfant, et ils ne craignirent point l'Edit du Roi. ²⁴ Par la foi Moïse étant déjà grand, refusa d'être nommé fils de la fille de Pharaon. ²⁵ Choisissant plutôt d'être affligé avec le peuple de Dieu, que de jouir pour un peu de temps des délices du péché. ²⁶ Et ayant estimé que l'opprobre de Christ était un plus grand trésor que les richesses de l'Egypte; parce qu'il avait égard à la rémunération. ²⁷ Par la foi il quitta l'Egypte, n'ayant point craint la fureur du Roi; car il demeura ferme, comme voyant celui qui est invisible. ²⁸ Par la foi il fit la Pâque et l'aspersion du sang, afin que celui qui tuait les premiers-nés, ne touchât point à ceux des Israélites. ²⁹ Par la foi ils traversèrent la mer Rouge, comme par un lieu sec; ce que les Egyptiens ayant voulu éprouver, ils furent engloutis dans les eaux. ³⁰ Par la foi les murs de Jéricho tombèrent, après qu'on en eut fait le tour durant sept jours. ³¹ Par la foi Rahab l'hospitalière ne périt point avec les incrédules; ayant reçu les espions et les ayant renvoyés en paix. ³² Et que dirai-je davantage ? car le temps me manquera, si je veux parler de Gédéon, de Barac, de Samson, de Jephté, de David, de Samuel, et des Prophètes, ³³ Qui par la foi ont combattu les Royaumes, ont exercé la justice, ont obtenu l'effet des promesses, ont fermé les gueules des lions, ³⁴ Ont éteint la force du feu, sont échappés du tranchant des épées; de malades sont devenus vigoureux; se sont montrés forts dans la bataille, et ont tourné en fuite les armées des étrangers. ³⁵ Les femmes ont recouvré leurs morts par le moyen de la résurrection; d'autres ont été étendus dans le tourment, ne tenant point compte d'être délivrés, afin d'obtenir la meilleure résurrection. ³⁶ Et d'autres ont été éprouvés par des moqueries et par des coups, par des liens, et par la prison. ³⁷ Ils ont été lapidés, ils ont été sciés, ils ont souffert de rudes épreuves, ils ont été mis à mort par le tranchant de l'épée, ils ont été errants çà et là, vêtus de peaux de brebis et de chèvres, réduits à la misère, affligés, tourmentés; ³⁸ Desquels le monde n'était pas digne; errant dans les déserts, et dans les montagnes, dans les cavernes, et dans les trous de la terre. ³⁹ Et quoiqu'ils aient tous été recommandables par leur foi, ils n'ont pourtant point reçu l'effet de la promesse; ⁴⁰ Dieu ayant pourvu quelque chose de meilleur pour nous; en sorte qu'ils ne sont point parvenus à la perfection sans nous.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ C'est par la foi qu'Abel offrit à Dieu un sacrifice plus excellent que celui de Caïn; c'est par elle qu'il fut déclaré juste, Dieu approuvant ses offrandes; et c'est par elle qu'il parle encore, quoique mort. ⁵ C'est par la foi qu'Enoch fut enlevé pour qu'il ne vît point la mort, et qu'il ne parut plus parce que Dieu l'avait enlevé; car, avant son enlèvement, il avait reçu le témoignage qu'il était agréable à Dieu. ⁶ Or sans la foi il est impossible de lui être agréable; car il faut que celui qui s'approche de Dieu croie que Dieu existe, et qu'il est le rémunérateur de ceux qui le cherchent. ⁷ C'est par la foi que Noé, divinement averti des choses qu'on ne voyait pas encore, et saisi d'une crainte respectueuse, construisit une arche pour sauver sa famille; c'est par elle qu'il condamna le monde, et devint héritier de la justice qui s'obtient par la foi. ⁸ C'est par la foi qu'Abraham, lors de sa vocation, obéit et partit pour un lieu qu'il devait recevoir en héritage, et qu'il partit sans savoir où il allait. ⁹ C'est par la foi qu'il vint s'établir dans la terre promise comme dans une terre étrangère, habitant sous des tentes, ainsi qu'Isaac et Jacob, les cohéritiers de la même promesse. ¹⁰ Car il attendait la cité qui a de solides fondements, celle dont Dieu est l'architecte et le constructeur. ¹¹ C'est par la foi que Sara elle-même, malgré son âge avancé, fut rendue capable d'avoir une postérité, parce qu'elle crut à la fidélité de celui qui avait fait la promesse. ¹² C'est pourquoi d'un seul homme, déjà usé de corps, naquit une postérité nombreuse comme les étoiles du ciel, comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer et qu'on ne peut compter. ¹³ C'est dans la foi qu'ils sont tous morts, sans avoir obtenu les choses promises; mais ils les ont vues et saluées de loin, reconnaissant qu'ils étaient étrangers et voyageurs sur la terre. ¹⁴ Ceux qui parlent ainsi montrent qu'ils cherchent une patrie. ¹⁵ S'ils avaient eu en vue celle d'où ils étaient sortis, ils auraient eu le temps d'y retourner. ¹⁶ Mais maintenant ils en désirent une meilleure, c'est-à-dire une céleste. C'est pourquoi Dieu n'a pas honte d'être appelé leur Dieu, car il leur a préparé une cité. ¹⁷ C'est par la foi qu'Abraham offrit Isaac, lorsqu'il fut mis à l'épreuve, et qu'il offrit son fils unique, lui qui avait reçu les promesses, ¹⁸ et à qui il avait été dit: En Isaac sera nommée pour toi une postérité. ¹⁹ Il pensait que Dieu est puissant, même pour ressusciter les morts; aussi le recouvra-t-il par une sorte de résurrection. ²⁰ C'est par la foi qu'Isaac bénit Jacob et Esaü, en vue des choses à venir. ²¹ C'est par la foi que Jacob mourant bénit chacun des fils de Joseph, et qu'il adora, appuyé sur l'extrémité de son bâton. ²² C'est par la foi que Joseph mourant fit mention de la sortie des fils d'Israël, et qu'il donna des ordres au sujet de ses os. ²³ C'est par la foi que Moïse, à sa naissance, fut caché pendant trois mois par ses parents, parce qu'ils virent que l'enfant était beau, et qu'ils ne craignirent pas l'ordre du roi. ²⁴ C'est par la foi que Moïse, devenu grand, refusa d'être appelé fils de la fille de Pharaon, ²⁵ aimant mieux être maltraité avec le peuple de Dieu que d'avoir pour un temps la jouissance du péché, ²⁶ regardant l'opprobre de Christ comme une richesse plus grande que les trésors de l'Egypte, car il avait les yeux fixés sur la rémunération. ²⁷ C'est par la foi qu'il quitta l'Egypte, sans être effrayé de la colère du roi; car il se montra ferme, comme voyant celui qui est invisible. ²⁸ C'est par la foi qu'il fit la Pâque et l'aspersion du sang, afin que l'exterminateur ne touchât pas aux premiers-nés des Israélites. ²⁹ C'est par la foi qu'ils traversèrent la mer Rouge comme un lieu sec, tandis que les Egyptiens qui en firent la tentative furent engloutis. ³⁰ C'est par la foi que les murailles de Jéricho tombèrent, après qu'on en eut fait le tour pendant sept jours. ³¹ C'est par la foi que Rahab la prostituée ne périt pas avec les rebelles, parce qu'elle avait reçu les espions avec bienveillance. ³² Et que dirai-je encore? Car le temps me manquerait pour parler de Gédéon, de Barak, de Samson, de Jephthé, de David, de Samuel, et des prophètes, ³³ qui, par la foi, vainquirent des royaumes, exercèrent la justice, obtinrent des promesses, fermèrent la gueule des lions, ³⁴ teignirent la puissance du feu, échappèrent au tranchant de l'épée, guérirent de leurs maladies, furent vaillants à la guerre, mirent en fuite des armées étrangères. ³⁵ Des femmes recouvrèrent leurs morts par la résurrection; d'autres furent livrés aux tourments, et n'acceptèrent point de délivrance, afin d'obtenir une meilleure résurrection; ³⁶ d'autres subirent les moqueries et le fouet, les chaînes et la prison; ³⁷ ils furent lapidés, sciés, torturés, ils moururent tués par l'épée, ils allèrent çà et là vêtus de peaux de brebis et de peaux de chèvres, dénués de tout, persécutés, maltraités, ³⁸ eux dont le monde n'était pas digne, errants dans les déserts et les montagnes, dans les cavernes et les antres de la terre. ³⁹ Tous ceux-là, à la foi desquels il a été rendu témoignage, n'ont pas obtenu ce qui leur était promis, ⁴⁰ Dieu ayant en vue quelque chose de meilleur pour nous, afin qu'ils ne parvinssent pas sans nous à la perfection.

Segond_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

4 G4102 ¶ C’est par la foi G6 qu’Abel G4374 offrit G5656 G2316 à Dieu G2378 un sacrifice G4119 plus excellent G3844 que G2535 celui de Caïn G1223 ; c’est par G3739 elle G1511 qu’il fut G5750 G3140 déclaré G5681 G1342 juste G2316 , Dieu G3140 approuvant G5723 G1909 ses G846 G1435 offrandes G2532 ; et G1223 c’est par G846 elle G2980 qu’il parle G5731 G5625 G2980 G5719 G2089 encore G599 , quoique mort G5631 .

5 G4102 C’est par la foi G1802 qu’Enoch G3346 fut enlevé G5681 G1492 pour qu’il ne vît G5629 G3361 point G2288 la mort G2532 , et G2147 qu’il ne parut G5712 G3756 plus G1360 parce que G2316 Dieu G846 l G3346 ’avait enlevé G5656 G1063 ; car G4253 , avant G846 son G3331 enlèvement G3140 , il avait reçu le témoignage G5769 G2100 qu’il était agréable G5760 G2316 à Dieu.

6 G1161 Or G5565 sans G4102 la foi G102 il est impossible G2100 de lui être agréable G5658 G1063 ; car G1163 il faut G5748 G4334 que celui qui s’approche G5740 G2316 de Dieu G4100 croie G5658 G3754 que G2076 Dieu existe G5748 G2532 , et G1096 qu’il est G5736 G3406 le rémunérateur G846 de ceux qui le G1567 cherchent G5723 .

7 G4102 C’est par la foi G3575 que Noé G5537 , divinement averti G5685 G4012 des G991 choses qu’on ne voyait G5746 G3369 pas encore G2125 , et saisi d’une crainte respectueuse G5685 G2680 , construisit G5656 G2787 une arche G1519 pour G4991 sauver G846 sa G3624 famille G1223 ; c’est par G3739 elle G2632 qu’il condamna G5656 G2889 le monde G2532 , et G1096 devint G5633 G2818 héritier G1343 de la justice G2596 qui s’obtient par G4102 la foi.

8 G4102 C’est par la foi G11 qu’Abraham G2564 , lors de sa vocation G5746 G5219 , obéit G5656 G2532 et G1831 partit G5629 G1831 pour G5627 G1519 G5117 un lieu G3739 qu G3195 ’il devait G5707 G2983 recevoir G5721 G1519 en G2817 héritage G3361 , et qu’il partit sans G1987 savoir G5740 G4226 où G2064 il allait G5736 .

9 G4102 C’est par la foi G3939 qu’il vint s’établir G5656 G1519 dans G1093 la terre G1860 promise G5613 comme G245 dans une terre étrangère G2730 , habitant G5660 G1722 sous G4633 des tentes G3326 , ainsi G2464 qu’Isaac G2532 et G2384 Jacob G4789 , les cohéritiers G846 de la même G1860 promesse.

10 G1063 Car G1551 il attendait G5711 G4172 la cité G2192 qui a G5723 G2310 de solides fondements G3739 , celle G2316 dont Dieu G5079 est l’architecte G2532 et G1217 le constructeur.

11 G4102 C’est par la foi G4564 que Sara G2532 elle-même G846 G2540 , malgré son âge G2244 G3844 avancé G2983 , fut rendue G5627 G1411 capable G1519 d G2602 ’avoir G4690 une postérité G2532 G5088 G5627 G1893 , parce qu G2233 ’elle crut G5662 G4103 à la fidélité G1861 de celui qui avait fait la promesse G5666 .

12 G1352 C’est pourquoi G575 d G1520 ’un seul G2532 homme, G5023 G3499 déjà usé de corps G5772 G2532 , G1080 naquit G5681 G4128 une postérité nombreuse G2531 comme G798 les étoiles G3772 du ciel G2532 , G5616 comme G285 le sable G3588 qui G3844 est sur G5491 le bord G2281 de la mer G382 et qu’on ne peut compter.

13 G2596 C’est dans G4102 la foi G3778 qu’ils G3956 sont tous G599 morts G5627 G3361 , sans G2983 avoir obtenu G5631 G1860 les choses promises G235 ; mais G846 ils les G1492 ont vues G5631 G2532 et G782 saluées G5666 G4207 de loin G2532 , G3670 reconnaissant G5660 G3754 qu G1526 ’ils étaient G5748 G3581 étrangers G2532 et G3927 voyageurs G1909 sur G1093 la terre.

14 G1063 G3004 Ceux qui parlent G5723 G5108 ainsi G1718 montrent G5719 G3754 qu G1934 ’ils cherchent G5719 G3968 une patrie.

15 G2532 G3303 G1487 S G3421 ’ils avaient eu en vue G5707 G1565 celle G575 d’où G3739 G1831 ils étaient sortis G5627 G302 , ils auraient G2192 eu G5707 G2540 le temps G344 d’y retourner G5658 .

16 G1161 Mais G3570 maintenant G3713 ils en désirent G5734 G2909 une meilleure G5123 , c’est-à-dire G5748 G2032 une céleste G1352 . C’est pourquoi G2316 Dieu G3756 n’a pas G1870 honte G5736 G1941 d’être appelé G5745 G846 leur G2316 Dieu G1063 , car G846 il leur G2090 a préparé G5656 G4172 une cité.

17 G4102 C’est par la foi G11 qu’Abraham G4374 offrit G5754 G2464 Isaac G3985 , lorsqu’il fut mis à l’épreuve G5746 G2532 , et G4374 qu’il offrit G5707 G3439 son fils unique G324 , lui qui avait reçu G5666 G1860 les promesses,

18 G4314 et à G3739 qui G2980 il avait été dit G5681 G3754 : G1722 En G2464 Isaac G2564 sera nommée G5701 G4671 pour toi G4690 une postérité.

19 G3049 Il pensait G5666 G3754 que G2316 Dieu G1415 est puissant G2532 , même G1453 pour ressusciter G5721 G1537 G3498 les morts G2532 ; aussi G3606 G846 le G2865 recouvra-t-il G5668 G1722 par G3850 une sorte de résurrection.

20 G4102 C’est par la foi G2464 qu’Isaac G2127 bénit G5656 G2384 Jacob G2532 et G2269 Esaü G4012 , en vue G3195 des choses à venir G5723 .

21 G4102 C’est par la foi G2384 que Jacob G599 mourant G5723 G2127 bénit G5656 G1538 chacun G5207 des fils G2501 de Joseph G2532 , et G4352 qu’il adora G5656 G1909 , appuyé sur G206 l’extrémité G846 de son G4464 bâton.

22 G4102 C’est par la foi G2501 que Joseph G5053 mourant G5723 G3421 fit mention G5656 G4012 de G1841 la sortie G5207 des fils G2474 d’Israël G2532 , et G1781 qu’il donna des ordres G5662 G4012 au sujet G846 de ses G3747 os.

23 G4102 C’est par la foi G3475 que Moïse G1080 , à sa naissance G5685 G2928 , fut caché G5648 G5150 pendant trois mois G5259 par G846 ses G3962 parents G1360 , parce qu’ils G1492 virent G5627 G3813 que l’enfant G791 était beau G2532 , et G5399 qu’ils ne craignirent G5675 G3756 pas G1297 l’ordre G935 du roi.

24 G4102 C’est par la foi G3475 que Moïse G1096 , devenu G5637 G3173 grand G720 , refusa G5662 G3004 d’être appelé G5745 G5207 fils G2364 de la fille G5328 de Pharaon,

25 G138 aimant G5642 G3123 mieux G4778 être maltraité G5738 G2992 avec le peuple G2316 de Dieu G2228 que G4340 d’avoir pour un temps G2192 la jouissance G5721 G619 G266 du péché,

26 G3680 regardant l’opprobre G5547 de Christ G4149 comme une richesse G3187 plus grande G2233 que G5666 G2344 les trésors G1722 de G125 l’Egypte G1063 , car G578 il avait les yeux fixés G5707 G1519 sur G3405 la rémunération.

27 G4102 C’est par la foi G2641 qu’il quitta G5627 G125 l’Egypte G3361 , sans G5399 être effrayé G5679 G2372 de la colère G935 du roi G1063 ; car G2594 il se montra ferme G5656 G5613 , comme G3708 voyant G5723 G517 celui qui est invisible.

28 G4102 C’est par la foi G4160 qu’il fit G5758 G3957 la Pâque G2532 et G4378 l’aspersion G129 du sang G3363 , afin G3645 que l’exterminateur G5723 G2345 ne touchât G5632 G846 G4416 pas aux premiers-nés des Israélites.

29 G4102 C’est par la foi G1224 qu’ils traversèrent G5627 G2281 la mer G2063 Rouge G5613 comme G1223 G3584 un lieu sec G3739 , tandis que G124 les Egyptiens G2983 qui en firent G5631 G3984 la tentative G2666 furent engloutis G5681 .

30 G4102 C’est par la foi G5038 que les murailles G2410 de Jéricho G4098 tombèrent G5627 G2944 , après qu’on en eut fait le tour G5685 G1909 G2033 pendant sept G2250 jours.

31 G4102 C’est par la foi G4460 que Rahab G4204 la prostituée G4881 ne périt G5639 G3756 pas G544 avec les rebelles G5660 G1209 , parce qu’elle avait reçu G5666 G2685 les espions G3326 avec G1515 bienveillance.

32 G2532 ¶ Et G5101 que G3004 dirai-je G5725 G2089 encore G1063 ? Car G5550 le temps G3165 me G1952 manquerait G5692 G1334 pour parler G5740 G4012 de G1066 Gédéon G5037 , G913 de Barak G2532 , G4546 de Samson G2532 , G2422 de Jephthé G1138 , de David G2532 G5037 , G4545 de Samuel G2532 , et G4396 des prophètes,

33 G3739 qui G1223 , par G4102 la foi G2610 , vainquirent G5662 G932 des royaumes G2038 , exercèrent G5662 G1343 la justice G2013 , obtinrent G5627 G1860 des promesses G5420 , fermèrent G5656 G4750 la gueule G3023 des lions,

34 G4570 éteignirent G5656 G1411 la puissance G4442 du feu G5343 , échappèrent G5627 G4750 au tranchant G3162 de l’épée G1743 , guérirent G5681 G575 de leurs maladies G769 G1096 , furent G5675 G2478 vaillants G1722 à G4171 la guerre G2827 , mirent en fuite G5656 G3925 des armées G245 étrangères.

35 G1135 Des femmes G2983 recouvrèrent G5627 G846 leurs G3498 morts G1537 par la résurrection G386 G1161 ; G243 d’autres G5178 furent livrés aux tourments G5681 G4327 , et n’acceptèrent G5666 G3756 point G629 de délivrance G2443 , afin G5177 d’obtenir G5632 G2909 une meilleure G386 résurrection ;

36 G1161 G2087 d’autres G2983 subirent G5627 G3984 G1701 les moqueries G2532 et G3148 le fouet G1161 , G2089 G1199 les chaînes G2532 et G5438 la prison ;

37 G3034 ils furent lapidés G5681 G4249 , sciés G5681 G3985 , torturés G5681 G599 , ils moururent G5627 G5408 tués G1722 par G3162 l’épée G4022 , ils allèrent çà et là G5627 G1722 vêtus G3374 de peaux de brebis G1722 et G1192 de peaux G122 de chèvres G5302 , dénués G5746 G2346 de tout, persécutés G5746 G2558 , maltraités G5746 ,

38 G3739 eux dont G2889 le monde G2258 n’était G5713 G3756 pas G514 digne G4105 , errants G5746 G1722 dans G2047 les déserts G2532 et G3735 les montagnes G2532 , G4693 dans les cavernes G2532 et G3692 les antres G1093 de la terre.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Por la fe, Abel ofreció a Dios mayor sacrificio que Caín; por la cual alcanzó testimonio de que era justo, dando Dios testimonio a sus presentes, y difunto, aún habla por ella. ⁵ Por la fe, Enoc fue traspuesto para no ver muerte, y no fue hallado, porque lo traspuso Dios; y antes que fuese traspuesto tuvo testimonio de haber agradado a Dios. ⁶ Pero sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios, porque es necesario que el que a Dios se allega, crea que le hay, y que es galardonador de los que le buscan. ⁷ Por la fe, Noé habiendo recibido respuesta de cosas que aun no se veían, aparejó el arca en que su casa se salvase; arca por la cual condenó al mundo, y fue hecho heredero de la justicia que es por la fe. ⁸ Por la fe, Abraham siendo llamado, obedeció para salir al lugar que había de recibir por heredad; y salió sin saber a dónde iba. ⁹ Por la fe, habitó en la tierra prometida como en tierra ajena, morando en cabañas con Isaac y Jacob, herederos juntamente de la misma promesa; ¹⁰ porque esperaba la ciudad con fundamentos, el artífice y hacedor de la cual es Dios. ¹¹ Por la fe también la misma Sara, (siendo estéril) recibió fuerza para concebir generación; y dio a luz aun fuera del tiempo de la edad, porque creyó ser fiel el que lo había prometido. ¹² Por lo cual también de uno, y ese ya muerto, salieron como las estrellas del cielo en multitud, y como la arena innumerable que está a la orilla del mar. ¹³ Conforme a la fe murieron todos éstos sin haber recibido las promesas; sino mirándolas de lejos, y creyéndolas, y saludándolas; y confesando que eran peregrinos y advenedizos sobre la tierra. ¹⁴ Porque los que esto dicen, claramente dan a entender que buscan la patria. ¹⁵ Que si se acordaran de aquella de donde salieron, cierto tenían tiempo para volverse; ¹⁶ mas empero deseaban la mejor, es a saber, la celestial, por lo cual Dios no se avergüenza de llamarse Dios de ellos; porque les había aparejado ciudad. ¹⁷ Por la fe, ofreció Abraham a Isaac cuando fue probado; y ofrecía al unigénito en el cual había recibido las promesas, ¹⁸ (habiéndole sido dicho: En Isaac te será llamada simiente); ¹⁹ pensando dentro de sí, que aun de los muertos es Dios poderoso para levantar, por lo cual también le volvió a recibir por figura. ²⁰ Por la fe también bendijo Isaac a Jacob y a Esaú de lo que habían de ser. ²¹ Por la fe, Jacob muriéndose bendijo a cada uno de los hijos de José; y adoró estribando sobre la punta de su vara. ²² Por la fe, José, muriéndose, se acordó de la partida de los hijos de Israel; y dio mandamiento acerca de sus huesos. ²³ Por la fe, Moisés, nacido, fue escondido por sus padres por tres meses, porque le vieron hermoso niño; y no temieron el mandamiento del rey. ²⁴ Por la fe, Moisés, hecho ya grande, rehusó ser hijo de la hija del Faraón, ²⁵ escogiendo antes ser afligido con el pueblo de Dios, que gozar de comodidades temporales de pecado. ²⁶ Teniendo por mayores riquezas el vituperio del Cristo que los tesoros de los Egipcios, porque miraba a la remuneración. ²⁷ Por la fe, dejó a Egipto no temiendo la ira del rey; porque como aquel que ve al Invisible se esforzó. ²⁸ Por la fe, celebró la pascua y el derramamiento de la sangre, para que el que mataba los primogénitos no los tocase. ²⁹ Por la fe, pasaron el mar Bermejo como por tierra seca, lo cual probando los Egipcios, fueron consumidos. ³⁰ Por la fe, cayeron los muros de Jericó con rodearlos siete días. ³¹ Por la fe, Rahab la ramera no pereció juntamente con los incrédulos habiendo recibido a los espías con paz. ³² ¿Y qué más digo? Porque el tiempo me faltará contando de Gedeón, de Barac, de Sansón, de Jefté, de David, de Samuel, y de los profetas, ³³ que por fe ganaron reinos, obraron justicia, alcanzaron promesas, taparon las bocas de los leones, ³⁴ apagaron fuegos impetuosos, evitaron filo de cuchillo, convalecieron de enfermedades, fueron hechos fuertes en batallas, trastornaron campos de enemigos extraños; ³⁵ las mujeres recibieron sus muertos por resurrección, unos fueron estirados, menospreciando la vida, para ganar mejor resurrección. ³⁶ Otros experimentaron vituperios, y azotes; y a más de esto prisiones y cárceles. ³⁷ Otros fueron apedreados, otros cortados en piezas, otros tentados, otros muertos a cuchillo; otros anduvieron perdidos cubiertos de pieles de ovejas y de cabras, pobres, angustiados, maltratados, ³⁸ de los cuales el mundo no era digno; perdidos por los desiertos, por los montes, por las cuevas y por las cavernas de la tierra. ³⁹ Y todos éstos, aprobados por testimonio de la fe, no recibieron la promesa, ⁴⁰ proveyendo Dios alguna cosa mejor para nosotros, que aquellos no fuesen perfeccionados sin nosotros.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Edhe pa besim është e pamundur t'i pëlqesh Atij, sepse ai që i afrohet Perëndisë duhet të besojë se Perëndia është, dhe se është shpërblenjësi i atyre që e kërkojnë atë. ⁵ Me anë të besimit Noeu, i lajmëruar hyjnisht për ato që ende nuk shiheshin, u frikësua dhe ndërtoi një arkë për shpëtimin e shtëpisë së tij, me anë të së cilës e dënoi botën dhe u bë trashëgimtar i drejtësisë që është me anë të besimit. ⁶ Me anë të besimit Abrahami, kur u thirr, u bind të shkojë në atë vend që do të merrte për trashëgim; dhe u nis pa ditur se ku po shkonte. ⁷ Me anë të besimit Abrahami banoi në tokën e premtuar, si në një dhe të huaj, dhe ndenji në çadra bashkë me Isakun dhe Jakobin, bashkëtrashëgimtarë të të nëjtit premtim, ⁸ sepse priste qytetin që ka themelet, mjeshtër dhe ndërtues i të cilit është Perëndia. ⁹ Me anë të besimit edhe vetë Sara, ndonëse e kishte kaluar moshën, mori fuqi të bëhet me barrë dhe të lindë, sepse e konsideroi besnik atë që i kishte bërë premtimin. ¹⁰ Prandaj edhe prej një të vetmi, edhe ky gati për të vdekur, lindën pasardhës të shumtë sa yjet e qiellit dhe si rëra që është në breg të detit dhe që nuk numërohet dot. ¹¹ Të gjithë këta vdiqën në besim, pa marrë premtimet e bëra, por i panë ato për se largu dhe u bindën dhe i përshëndetën ato me gëzim duke rrëfyer se janë të huaj dhe shtegtarë mbi dhe. ¹² Sepse ata që flasin të tilla, tregojnë se kërkojnë atdhe. ¹³ Dhe, po ta kishin pasur në mend atë nga e cila kishin dalë, do të kishin gjetur kohë të ktheheshin atje. ¹⁴ Por ata tani dëshirojnë një atdhe më të mirë, domethënë qiellor; prandaj Perëndisë nuk i vjen turp të quhet Perëndi i tyre, sepse u bëri gati atyre një qytet. ¹⁵ Me anë të besimit Abrahami, pasi u vu në provë, ofroi Isakun dhe ai që kishte pritur premtimet ofroi birin e tij të vetëm, ¹⁶ ndonëse Perëndia i pati thënë: ''Te Isaku do të quhet pasardhja jote (që do të mbajë emrin tënd)'', ¹⁷ sepse Abrahami mendonte se Perëndia ishte i fuqishëm sa ta ringjallte edhe prej së vdekurish; prej të cilëve edhe e mori atë përsëri si një lloj figure. ¹⁸ Me anë të besimit Isaku bekoi Jakobin dhe Esaun, për gjërat që do të ndodhnin. ¹⁹ Me anë të besimit Jakobi, duke vdekur, bekoi secilin nga bijtë e Jozefit dhe adhuroi duke u mbështetur mbi majën e shkopit të tij. ²⁰ Me anë të besimit Jozefi, duke vdekur, përmendi eksodin e bijve të Izraelit dhe dha porosi për eshtrat e tij. ²¹ Më anë të besimit Moisiu, si lindi, u fsheh nga prindërit e tij tre muaj, sepse ata panë se fëmija ishte i bukur dhe nuk u frikësuan nga urdhëri i mbretit. ²² Me anë të besimit Moisiu, si u bë i madh, nuk pranoi të thuhet i biri i së bijës së Faraonit, ²³ duke parapëlqyer të keqtrajtohet bashkë me popullin e Perëndisë se sa të gëzonte për një farë kohe dëfrimet e mëkatit, ²⁴ duke e çmuar dhunën e Krishtit si pasuri më të madhe nga thesaret e Egjiptit, sepse i drejtonte sytë nga shpërblimi. ²⁵ Me anë të besimit e la Egjiptin pa pasur frikë mërinë e mbretit, sepse qëndroi i patundur sikur të shihte të padukshmin. ²⁶ Me anë të besimit kremtoi Pashkën dhe bëri spërkatjen e gjakut, me qëllim që ai i cili i vriste të parëlindurit të mos ngiste ata të Izraelit. ²⁷ Me anë të besimit kaluan nëpër Detin e Kuq si të ishte tokë e thatë, ndërsa kur Egjiptasit u përpoqën ta bëjnë, u mbytën. ²⁸ Me anë të besimit ranë muret e Jerihos, pasi u suallën rreth tyre shtatë ditë. ²⁹ Me anë të besimit Rahabi, një prostitutë, nuk humbi bashkë me ata që nuk besuan, sepse kishte pritur paqësisht zbuluesit. ³⁰ Dhe ç'të them më? Sepse nuk do të më mjaftonte koha, po të doja të tregoja për Jedeonin, Barakun, Sansonin, Jeftin, Davidin, Samuelin dhe për profetët, ³¹ të cilët, me anë të fesë nënshtruan mbretërira, realizuan drejtësinë, arritën ato që u premtuan, ua zunë grykën luanëve, ³² fikën fuqinë e zjarrit, shpëtuan nga tehu i shpatës, nga të dobët u bënë të fuqishëm, u bënë të fortë në betejë, thyen ushtritë e huaja. ³³ Gratë morën të vdekurit e tyre me anë të ringjalljes; e të tjerët u torturuan, sepse nuk pranuan çlirimin, për të fituar një ringjallje më të mirë. ³⁴ Dhe të tjerë hoqën përqeshje dhe goditje, madje edhe pranga dhe burgime. ³⁵ U vranë me gurë, me sharrë, u prenë, u vranë nga shpata, u endën të mbuluar me lëkurë dhënsh e dhish, nevojtarë, të pikë-lluar, të keqtrajtuar ³⁶ (bota nuk ishte e denjë për ta), u sollën nëpër shkretëtira e nëpër male, nëpër shpella dhe nëpër guva të dheut. ³⁷ E pra, të gjithë këta, ndonëse morën dëshmim të mirë me anë të besimit, nuk morën atë që u ishte premtuar, ³⁸ sepse Perëndia kishte paraparë diçka më të mirë për ne, që ata të mos arrinin në përsosje pa ne. ³⁹ Prandaj edhe ne, duke qenë të rrethuar nga një re kaq e madhe dëshmimtarësh, duke hedhur tej çdo barrë dhe mëkatin që na qarkon vazhdimisht duke na joshur, le të rendim me durim në udhën që është përpara nesh, ⁴⁰ duke i drejtuar sytë te Jezusi, kreu dhe plotësonjësi i besimit, i cili, për gëzimin që ishte përpara tij, duroi kryqin duke e përçmuar fyerjen dhe u ul në të djathtën e fronit të Perëndisë.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Верою Авель принес Богу жертву лучшую, нежели Каин; ею получил свидетельство, что он праведен, как засвидетельствовал Бог о дарах его; ею он и по смерти говорит еще. ⁵ Верою Енох переселен был так, что не видел смерти; ине стало его, потому что Бог переселил его. Ибо преждепереселения своего получил он свидетельство, что угодил Богу. ⁶ А без веры угодить Богу невозможно; ибо надобно, чтобыприходящий к Богу веровал, что Он есть, и ищущим Его воздает. ⁷ Верою Ной, получив откровение о том, что еще не было видимо, благоговеяприготовил ковчег для спасения дома своего; ею осудил он(весь) мир, и сделался наследником праведности по вере. ⁸ Верою Авраам повиновался призванию идти в страну, которую имел получить в наследие, и пошел,не зная, куда идет. ⁹ Верою обитал он на земле обетованной, как на чужой, и жил в шатрах с Исааком и Иаковом, сонаследниками того же обетования; ¹⁰ ибо он ожидал города, имеющего основание, которого художник и строитель Бог. ¹¹ Верою и сама Сарра(будучи неплодна) получила силу к принятию семени, и не по времени возраста родила, ибо знала, что верен Обещавший. ¹² И потому от одного, и притом омертвелого, родилось так много, как много звезд на небе и как бесчислен песок на берегу морском. ¹³ Все сии умерли в вере, не получив обетований, а только издали видели оные, и радовались, и говорили о себе, что они странники и пришельцы на земле; ¹⁴ ибо те, которые так говорят, показывают, что они ищут отечества. ¹⁵ И если бы они в мыслях имели то отечество , из которого вышли, то имели бы время возвратиться; ¹⁶ но они стремились к лучшему, то есть к небесному; посему и Бог не стыдится их, называя Себя ихБогом: ибо Он приготовил им город. ¹⁷ Верою Авраам, будучи искушаем, принес в жертву Исаака и, имея обетование, принесединородного, ¹⁸ о котором было сказано: в Исааке наречется тебе семя. ¹⁹ Ибо он думал, что Бог силен и из мертвых воскресить, почему и получил его в предзнаменование. ²⁰ Верою в будущее Исаак благословил Иакова и Исава. ²¹ Верою Иаков, умирая, благословил каждого сына Иосифова и поклонился на верх жезла своего. ²² Верою Иосиф, при кончине, напоминал об исходе сыновИзраилевых и завещал о костях своих. ²³ Верою Моисей по рождении три месяца скрываем был родителями своими, ибо видели они, что дитя прекрасно, и не устрашились царского повеления. ²⁴ Верою Моисей, придя в возраст, отказался называтьсясыном дочери фараоновой, ²⁵ и лучше захотел страдать с народом Божиим, нежели иметь временное греховное наслаждение, ²⁶ и поношение Христово почел большим для себя богатством, нежели Египетские сокровища; ибо он взирал на воздаяние. ²⁷ Верою оставил он Египет, не убоявшись гнева царского,ибо он, как бы видя Невидимого, был тверд. ²⁸ Верою совершил он Пасху и пролитие крови, дабы истребитель первенцев не коснулся их. ²⁹ Верою перешли они Чермное море, как по суше, – на что покусившись, Египтяне потонули. ³⁰ Верою пали стены Иерихонские, по семидневном обхождении. ³¹ Верою Раав блудница, с миром приняв соглядатаев(и проводив их другимпутем), не погибла с неверными. ³² И что еще скажу? Недостанет мне времени, чтобыповествовать о Гедеоне, о Вараке, о Самсоне и Иеффае, о Давиде, Самуиле и(других) пророках, ³³ которые верою побеждали царства, творили правду, получали обетования, заграждали уста львов, ³⁴ угашали силу огня, избегали острия меча, укреплялись от немощи, были крепки на войне, прогоняли полки чужих; ³⁵ жены получали умерших своих воскресшими; иные же замучены были, не приняв освобождения, дабы получить лучшее воскресение; ³⁶ другие испытали поругания и побои, а также узы и темницу, ³⁷ были побиваемы камнями, перепиливаемы, подвергаемы пытке, умирали от меча, скитались в милотях и козьих кожах, терпя недостатки, скорби, озлобления; ³⁸ те, которых весь мир не был достоин, скитались попустыням и горам, по пещерам и ущельям земли. ³⁹ И все сии, свидетельствованные в вере, не получили обещанного, ⁴⁰ потому что Бог предусмотрел о нас нечто лучшее, дабы они не без нас достигли совершенства.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ بالايمان قدم هابيل للّه ذبيحة افضل من قايين. فبه شهد له انه بار اذ شهد الله لقرابينه. وبه وان مات يتكلم بعد. ⁵ بالايمان نقل اخنوخ لكي لا يرى الموت ولم يوجد لان الله نقله. اذ قبل نقله شهد له بانه قد ارضى الله. ⁶ ولكن بدون ايمان لا يمكن ارضاؤه لانه يجب ان الذي يأتي الى الله يؤمن بانه موجود وانه يجازي الذين يطلبونه. ⁷ بالايمان نوح لما أوحي اليه عن امور لم ترى بعد خاف فبنى فلكا لخلاص بيته فبه دان العالم وصار وارثا للبر الذي حسب الايمان. ⁸ بالايمان ابراهيم لما دعي اطاع ان يخرج الى المكان الذي كان عتيدا ان يأخذه ميراثا فخرج وهو لا يعلم الى اين يأتي. ⁹ بالايمان تغرب في ارض الموعد كانها غريبة ساكنا في خيام مع اسحق ويعقوب الوارثين معه لهذا الموعد عينه. ¹⁰ لانه كان ينتظر المدينة التي لها الاساسات التي صانعها وبارئها الله. ¹¹ بالايمان سارة نفسها ايضا اخذت قدرة على انشاء نسل وبعد وقت السن ولدت اذ حسبت الذي وعد صادقا. ¹² لذلك ولد ايضا من واحد وذلك من ممات مثل نجوم السماء في الكثرة وكالرمل الذي على شاطئ البحر الذي لا يعد ¹³ في الايمان مات هؤلاء اجمعون وهم لم ينالوا المواعيد بل من بعيد نظروها وصدقوها وحيوها واقروا بانهم غرباء ونزلاء على الارض. ¹⁴ فان الذين يقولون مثل هذا يظهرون انهم يطلبون وطنا. ¹⁵ فلو ذكروا ذلك الذي خرجوا منه لكان لهم فرصة للرجوع. ¹⁶ ولكن الآن يبتغون وطنا افضل اي سماويا. لذلك لا يستحي بهم الله ان يدعى الههم لانه اعدّ لهم مدينة ¹⁷ بالايمان قدم ابراهيم اسحق وهو مجرب. قدم الذي قبل المواعيد وحيده ¹⁸ الذي قيل له انه باسحق يدعى لك نسل. ¹⁹ اذ حسب ان الله قادر على الاقامة من الاموات ايضا الذين منهم اخذه ايضا في مثال. ²⁰ بالايمان اسحق بارك يعقوب وعيسو من جهة امور عتيدة. ²¹ بالايمان يعقوب عند موته بارك كل واحد من ابني يوسف وسجد على راس عصاه. ²² بالايمان يوسف عند موته ذكر خروج بني اسرائيل واوصى من جهة عظامه. ²³ بالايمان موسى بعد ما ولد اخفاه ابواه ثلاثة اشهر لانهما رأيا الصبي جميلا ولم يخشيا امر الملك. ²⁴ بالايمان موسى لما كبر ابى ان يدعى ابن ابنة فرعون ²⁵ مفضلا بالاحرى ان يذل مع شعب الله على ان يكون له تمتع وقتي بالخطية ²⁶ حاسبا عار المسيح غنى اعظم من خزائن مصر لانه كان ينظر الى المجازاة. ²⁷ بالايمان ترك مصر غير خائف من غضب الملك لانه تشدد كانه يرى من لا يرى. ²⁸ بالايمان صنع الفصح ورشّ الدم لئلا يمسهم الذي اهلك الابكار. ²⁹ بالايمان اجتازوا في البحر الاحمر كما في اليابسة الامر الذي لما شرع فيه المصريون غرقوا. ³⁰ بالايمان سقطت اسوار اريحا بعد ما طيف حولها سبعة ايام. ³¹ بالايمان راحاب الزانية لم تهلك مع العصاة اذ قبلت الجاسوسين بسلام ³² وماذا اقول ايضا لانه يعوزني الوقت ان اخبرت عن جدعون وباراق وشمشون ويفتاح وداود وصموئيل والانبياء ³³ الذين بالايمان قهروا ممالك صنعوا برا نالوا مواعيد سدوا افواه اسود ³⁴ اطفأوا قوة النار نجوا من حد السيف تقووا من ضعف صاروا اشداء في الحرب هزموا جيوش غرباء. ³⁵ اخذت نساء امواتهن بقيامة. وآخرون عذبوا ولم يقبلوا النجاة لكي ينالوا قيامة افضل. ³⁶ وآخرون تجربوا في هزء وجلد ثم في قيود ايضا وحبس. ³⁷ رجموا نشروا جربوا ماتوا قتلا بالسيف طافوا في جلود غنم وجلود معزى معتازين مكروبين مذلين. ³⁸ وهم لم يكن العالم مستحقا لهم. تائهين في براري وجبال ومغاير وشقوق الارض. ³⁹ فهؤلاء كلهم مشهودا لهم بالايمان لم ينالوا الموعد ⁴⁰ اذ سبق الله فنظر لنا شيئا افضل لكي لا يكملوا بدوننا

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ С вяра Авел принесе на Бога по-добра жертва от тази на Каин, чрез която за него се засвидетелства, че е праведен, тъй като Бог свидетелства за неговите дарове. И чрез тази вяра той, макар и мъртъв, още говори. ⁵ С вяра Енох беше преселен, за да не види смърт, и не можеше да бъде намерен, защото Бог го пресели. Понеже преди неговото преселване за него беше свидетелствано, че е бил угоден на Бога. ⁶ А без вяра не е възможно да се угоди на Бога, защото, който идва при Бога, трябва да вярва, че Той съществува и че възнаграждава тези, които Го търсят. ⁷ С вяра Ной, предупреден от Бога за неща, които още не се виждаха, и движен от страхопочитание, направи ковчег за спасение на своя дом. Чрез тази вяра той осъди света и стана наследник на правдата, която е от вяра. ⁸ С вяра Авраам, когато беше повикан да излезе и да отиде на едно място, което щеше да получи в наследство, послуша и излезе, без да знае къде отива. ⁹ С вяра той се засели в обещаната земя като в чужда и живееше в шатри с Исаак и Яков, сънаследниците на същото обещание, ¹⁰ защото очакваше един град, който има вечни основи, на който Архитект и Строител е Бог. ¹¹ С вяра и самата Сара получи сила да зачене и роди в преминала възраст, понеже счете за верен Този, който беше дал обещанието. ¹² Затова само от един човек, и то замъртвял, се народи толкова многобройно потомство, колкото са звездите на небето и колкото е крайморският пясък, който не може да се изброи. ¹³ Всички тези умряха във вяра, тъй като не бяха получили изпълнението на обещанията; но като ги видяха отдалеч и като ги приветстваха, изповядаха, че са чужденци и пришълци на земята. ¹⁴ А онези, които говорят така, показват явно, че търсят свое отечество. ¹⁵ И наистина, ако те са мислели за онова отечество, от което са били излезли, щяха да имат време да се върнат. ¹⁶ Но сега те копнеят за едно по-добро отечество, тоест небесно. Затова Бог не се срамува от тях, да се нарече техен Бог, защото им е приготвил град. ¹⁷ С вяра Авраам, когато беше изпитван, принесе Исаак в жертва – онзи, който беше получил обещанията, принесе единородния си син; ¹⁸ онзи, за когото беше казано: ?По Исаак ще се нарече твоето потомство“; ¹⁹ като разсъди, че Бог може да възкресява и от мъртвите, откъдето, като символ на възкресението, го и получи обратно. ²⁰ С вяра Исаак благослови Яков и Исав за неща, които щяха да дойдат. ²¹ С вяра Яков на умиране благослови всеки от синовете на Йосиф и се поклони на Бога, подпирайки се на върха на тоягата си. ²² С вяра Йосиф на умиране спомена за излизането на израилевите синове и даде поръчка за костите си. ²³ С вяра, когато се роди Мойсей, родителите му го криха три месеца, защото видяха, че беше красиво дете, и не се бояха от заповедта на царя. ²⁴ С вяра Мойсей, когато стана на възраст, отказа да се нарича син на дъщерята на фараона ²⁵ и предпочете да страда с Божия народ, а не да се наслаждава временно на греха, ²⁶ като счете опозоряването на Христос за по-голямо богатство от египетските съкровища, защото гледаше към наградата. ²⁷ С вяра той напусна Египет, без да се бои от царския гняв, защото издържа, като че ли виждаше Невидимия. ²⁸ С вяра изпълни Пасхата и поръсването с кръвта, за да не се допре до тях този, който погубваше първородните. ²⁹ С вяра израилтяните минаха през Червено море като по суша, а египтяните, като се опитаха да направят същото, се издавиха. ³⁰ Чрез вяра стените на Ерихон паднаха, след като бяха обикаляли седем дни около тях. ³¹ С вяра блудницата Раав не погина заедно с непокорните, като прие съгледвачите с мир. ³² И какво повече да кажа? Защото няма да ми стигне време да говоря за Гедеон, Варак, Самсон и Ефтай, още и за Давид, и за Самуил, и за пророците, ³³ които с вяра побеждаваха царства, раздаваха правда, получаваха обещания, затваряха устите на лъвове, ³⁴ угасяха силата на огъня, избягваха от острието на меча, от слабост ставаха силни, ставаха силни в бой, обръщаха в бяг чужди войски, ³⁵ жени приемаха мъртвите си възкресени. А други бяха мъчени, като не приемаха да бъдат освободени, за да получат по-добро възкресение, ³⁶ други бяха подлагани на изпитания от подигравки и бичувания, а още и окови и тъмници, ³⁷ бяха убивани с камъни, изкушавани, разрязвани с триони, умираха заклани от меч, скитаха се в овчи и кози кожи, като търпяха лишения, бедствия и страдания. ³⁸ Тези, за които светът не беше достоен, се скитаха по пустините и планините, по пещерите и рововете на земята. ³⁹ Но всички тези, макар и да бяха засвидетелствани чрез вярата, не получиха изпълнението на обещанието, ⁴⁰ да не би да достигнат съвършенство без нас; защото за нас Бог беше предвидил нещо по-добро.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Vjerom Abel prinese Bogu bolju žrtvu nego Kain. Po njoj primi svjedočanstvo da je pravedan - Bog nad njegovim darovima posvjedoči - po njoj i mrtav još govori. ⁵ Vjerom Henok bi prenesen da ne vidi smrti te iščeznu jer ga je prenio Bog. Doista, prije prijenosa primio je svjedočanstvo da omilje Bogu. ⁶ A bez vjere nemoguće je omiljeti Bogu jer tko mu pristupa, vjerovati mora da postoji i da je platac onima koji ga traže. ⁷ Vjerom Noa, upućen u ono što još ne bijaše vidljivo, predano sagradi korablju na spasenje svoga doma. Time osudi svijet i postade baštinikom vjerničke pravednosti. ⁸ Vjerom pozvan, Abraham posluša i zaputi se u kraj koji je imao primiti u baštinu, zaputi se ne znajući kamo ide. ⁹ Vjerom se kao pridošlica naseli u obećanoj zemlji kao u tuđini, prebivajući pod šatorima s Izakom i Jakovom, subaštinicima istog obećanja, ¹⁰ jer iščekivaše onaj utemeljeni Grad kojemu je graditelj i tvorac Bog. ¹¹ Vjerom i Sara unatoč svojoj dobi zadobi moć da začne jer vjernim smatraše Onoga koji joj dade obećanje. ¹² Zato od jednoga, i to obamrla, nasta mnoštvo poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska nebrojena na obali morskoj. ¹³ U vjeri svi su oni umrli, a da nisu zadobili obećanja, već su ih samo izdaleka vidjeli i pozdravili priznavši da su stranci i pridošlice na zemlji. ¹⁴ Doista, koji tako govore, jasno očituju da domovinu traže. ¹⁵ Dakako, da su mislili na onu iz koje su izišli, imali bi još prilike vratiti se u nju. ¹⁶ Ali sada oni čeznu za boljom, to jest nebeskom. Stoga se Bog ne stidi zvati se Bogom njihovim: ta pripravio im je Grad. ¹⁷ Vjerom Abraham, kušan, prikaza Izaka. Jedinca prikazivaše on koji je primio obećanje, ¹⁸ kome bi rečeno: Po Izaku će ti se nazivati potomstvo! - ¹⁹ uvjeren da Bog može i od mrtvih uskrisiti. Zato ga u predslici i ponovno zadobi. ²⁰ Vjerom baš u pogledu budućnosti Izak blagoslovi Jakova i Ezava. ²¹ Vjerom Jakov, umirući, blagoslovi oba sina Josipova i duboko se prignu oslonjen na vrh svojega štapa. ²² Vjerom Josip na umoru napomenu ono o izlasku sinova Izraelovih i dade zapovijed o svojim kostima. ²³ Vjerom su Mojsija netom rođena tri mjeseca krili njegovi roditelji jer vidješe da je djetešce lijepo i nisu se bojali kraljeve naredbe. ²⁴ Vjerom Mojsije, već odrastao, odbi zvati se sinom kćeri faraonove. ²⁵ Radije izabra biti zlostavljan zajedno s Božjim narodom, nego se časovito okoristiti grijehom. ²⁶ Većim je bogatstvom od blaga egipatskih smatrao muku Kristovu jer je gledao na plaću. ²⁷ Vjerom napusti Egipat, ne bojeći se bijesa kraljeva, postojan kao da Nevidljivoga vidi. ²⁸ Vjerom je obavio pashu i škropljenje krvlju da Zatornik ne dotakne prvenaca Izraelovih. ²⁹ Vjerom prođoše Crvenim morem kao po suhu, što i Egipćani pokušaše, ali se potopiše. ³⁰ Vjerom zidine jerihonske padoše nakon sedmodnevnoga ophoda. ³¹ Vjerom Rahaba, bludnica, ne propade zajedno s nepokornicima jer s mirom primi uhode. ³² I što još da kažem? Ta ponestat će mi vremena, počnem li raspredati o Gideonu, Baraku, Samsonu, Jiftahu, Davidu, pa Samuelu i prorocima, ³³ koji su po vjeri osvojili kraljevstva, odjelotvorili pravednost, zadobili obećano, začepili ralje lavovima, ³⁴ pogasili žestinu ognja, umakli oštrici mača, oporavili se od slabosti, ojačali u boju, odbili navale tuđinaca. ³⁵ Žene su po uskrsnuću ponovno zadobile svoje pokojne. Drugi pak, stavljeni na muke, ne prihvatiše oslobođenja da bi ih zapalo bolje uskrsnuće. ³⁶ Drugi su opet iskusili izrugivanja i bičeve, pa i okove i tamnicu. ³⁷ Kamenovani su, piljeni, poubijani oštricom mača, potucali se u runima, u kozjim kožusima, u oskudici, potlačeni, zlostavljani - ³⁸ svijet ih ne bijaše dostojan - vrludali po pustinjama, gorama, pećinama i pukotinama zemaljskim. ³⁹ I svi oni po vjeri, istina, primiše svjedočanstvo, ali ne zadobiše obećano ⁴⁰ jer Bog je za nas predvidio nešto bolje da oni bez nas ne dođu do savršenstva.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Věrou lepší obět Bohu obětoval Abel, nežli Kain, skrze kteroužto svědectví obdržel, že jest spravedlivý, jakž sám Bůh darům jeho svědectví vydal. A skrze tu víru, již umřev, ještě mluví. ⁵ Věrou Enoch přenesen jest, aby neviděl smrti, a není nalezen, proto že jej Bůh přenesl. Prvé zajisté, než jest přenesen, svědectví měl, že se líbil Bohu. ⁶ Bez víry pak nemožné jest líbiti se Bohu; nebo přistupující k Bohu věřiti musí, že jest Bůh, a těm, kteříž ho hledají, že odplatu dává. ⁷ Věrou napomenut jsa od Boha Noé o tom, čehož ještě nebylo viděti, boje se, připravoval koráb k zachování domu svého; skrze kterýžto koráb odsoudil svět, a spravedlnosti té, kteráž jest z víry, učiněn jest dědicem. ⁸ Věrou, povolán jsa Abraham, uposlechl Boha, aby odšel na to místo, kteréž měl vzíti za dědictví; i šel, nevěda, kam příjde. ⁹ Věrou bydlil v zemi zaslíbené jako v cizí v staních přebývaje s Izákem a s Jákobem, spoludědici téhož zaslíbení. ¹⁰ Nebo očekával města základy majícího, jehožto řemeslník a stavitel jest Bůh. ¹¹ Věrou také i Sára moc ku početí semene přijala, a mimo čas věku porodila, když věřila, že jest věrný ten, jenž zaslíbil. ¹² A protož i z jednoho, a to již téměř umrtveného, rozplozeno jest potomků množství veliké, jako jest množství hvězd nebeských, a jako písek nesčíslný, kterýž jest na břehu mořském. ¹³ Podle víry zemřeli ti všickni, nevzavše zaslíbení, ale zdaleka je viděvše, jim i věřili, i je vítali, a vyznávali, že jsou hosté a příchozí na zemi. ¹⁴ Nebo ti, kteříž tak mluví, zjevně to prokazují, že vlasti hledají. ¹⁵ A jistě, kdyby se byli na onu rozpomínali, z kteréž vyšli, měli dosti času zase se navrátiti. ¹⁶ Ale oni lepší vlasti žádají, to jest nebeské. Protož i sám Bůh nestydí se slouti jejich Bohem; nebo jim připravil město. ¹⁷ Věrou obětoval Abraham Izáka, byv pokoušín, a to jednorozeného obětoval ten, kterýž byl zaslíbení přijal, ¹⁸ K němuž bylo řečeno: V Izákovi nazváno bude tobě símě, ¹⁹ Tak o tom smýšleje, že jest mocen Bůh i z mrtvých vzkřísiti; odkudžto jej jako z mrtvých vzkříšeného přijal. ²⁰ Věrou o budoucích věcech požehnání dal Izák Jákobovi a Ezau. ²¹ Věrou Jákob, umíraje, každému z synů Jozefových požehnání dával, a poklonil se podepřev se na vrch hůlky své. ²² Věrou Jozef, dokonávaje, o vyjití synů Izraelských zmínku učinil, a o kostech svých poručil. ²³ Věrou Mojžíš, narodiv se, ukryt byl za tři měsíce od rodičů svých, protože viděli krásné pacholátko, a nebáli se rozkazu královského. ²⁴ Věrou Mojžíš, dorostlý již jsa, odepřel slouti synem dcery faraonovy, ²⁵ Vyvoliv sobě raději protivenství trpěti s lidem Božím, nežli časné a hříšné pohodlí míti, ²⁶ Větší sobě pokládaje zboží nad Egyptské poklady pohanění Kristovo; nebo prohlédal k hojné odplatě. ²⁷ Věrou opustil Egypt, neboje se hněvu královského; nebo jako by viděl Neviditelného, tak se utvrdil. ²⁸ Věrou slavil hod beránka a vylití krve, aby ten, jenž hubil prvorozené, nedotekl se jich. ²⁹ Věrou přešli moře červené jako po suchu; o čež pokusivše se Egyptští, ztonuli. ³⁰ Věrou zdi Jericha padly, když je obcházeli za sedm dní. ³¹ Věrou Raab nevěstka nezahynula s neposlušnými, pokojně přijavši špehéře. ³² A coť mám více praviti? Nepostačíť mi zajisté čas k vypravování o Gedeonovi, a Barákovi, a Samsonovi a Jefte, a Davidovi, a Samuelovi, a prorocích. ³³ Kteříž skrze víru vybojovávali království, činili spravedlnost, docházeli zaslíbení, zacpávali ústa lvům, ³⁴ Uhašovali moc ohně, utekli ostrosti meče, zmocněni bývali v mdlobách, silní učiněni v boji, vojska zaháněli cizozemců. ³⁵ Ženy přijímaly mrtvé své vzkříšené. Jiní pak roztahováni jsou, neoblíbivše sobě vysvobození, aby lepšího dosáhli vzkříšení. ³⁶ Jiní pak posměchy a mrskáním trápeni, ano i vězeními a žaláři. ³⁷ Kamenováni jsou, sekáni, pokoušíni, mečem zmordováni; chodili v kožích ovčích a kozelčích, opuštěni, souženi, a zle s nimi nakládáno, ³⁸ Jichžto nebyl svět hoden, po pustinách bloudíce, i po horách, a jeskyních, i v doupatech země. ³⁹ A ti všickni svědectví dosáhše skrze víru, neobdrželi zaslíbení, ⁴⁰ Protože Bůh něco lepšího nám obmýšlel, aby oni bez nás nepřišli k dokonalosti.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Formedelst Tro offrede Abel Gud et bedre Offer end Kain, og for den fik han det Vidnesbyrd, at han var retfærdig, idet Gud bevidnede sit Velbehag i hans Gaver; og ved den taler han endnu, alligevel han er død. ⁵ Formedelst Tro blev Enok borttagen, at han ikke skulde see Døden og blev ikke funden, efterdi Gud havde taget ham bort; thi før han blev borttagen, havde han det Vidnesbyrd, at han behagede Gud. ⁶ Men uden Tro er det umuligt at behage ham; thi det bør den, som kommer frem for Gud, at troe, at han er til, og at han bliver deres Belønner, som søge ham. ⁷ Formedelst Tro var det, at Noah advaret af Gud om det, som endnu ikke faaes, frygtede Gud og beredte Arken til sit Huses Frelse; ved den fordømte han Verden og blev Arving til Retfærdigheden af Troen. ⁸ Formedelst Tro var Abraham lydig, der han blev kaldet, i at udgaae til det Sted, som han skulde tage til Arv; og han gik ud, dog han ikke vidste, hvor han kom. ⁹ Formedelst Tro opholdt han sig i Forjættelsens Land som i et fremmed, boende udi Pauluner med Isaak og Jakob, som vare Medarvinger til samme Forjættelse; ¹⁰ thi han forventede den Stad som har Grundvold, hvis Bygmester og Forarbeider er Gud. ¹¹ Formedelst Tro fik selv Sara Kraft til at undfange, og fødte over Hendes Alders Tid; thi hun agtede ham at være trofast, som havde lovet det. ¹² Derfor avledes og af Een, og det en Kraftesløs, som Stjerner paa Himmelen i Mangfoldighed og som Sandet ved Havets Bred, det utallige. ¹³ I Tro døde alle disse, uden at have opnaaet Forjættelserne, men saae dem langt borte og lode sig overbevise og hilsede dem og bekjendte, at de vare Gjester og Udlændinge paa Jorden. ¹⁴ Men de, som sige Saadant, give klarligen tilkjende, at de søge et Fædreneland. ¹⁵ Og dersom de havde havt det i Tanker, hvorfra de vare udgangne, havde de vel havt Tid at vende tilbage; ¹⁶ men nu hige de efter et bedre, det er et himmelsk; derfor blues Gud ikke ved dem, at kaldes deres Gud; thi han har beredt dem en Stad. ¹⁷ Formedelst Tro offrede Abraham Isaak, der han fristedes, ja den Eenbaarne offrede ham, som havde annammet Forjættelserne, ¹⁸ til hvem der var sagt: i Isaak skal Sæd fremkaldes dig: ¹⁹ thi han betænkte, at Gud var mægtig endog til at opreise fra de Døde, og i en Ligheddermed fik han ham ogsaa tilbage. ²⁰ Formedelst Tro om det Tilkommende velsignede Isaak Jakob og Esau. ²¹ Formedelst Tro velsignede Jakob, der han døde, hver af Josephs Sønner og tilbad, lænende sig over sin Stav. ²² Formedelst Tro erindrede Joseph døende Israels Børns Udgang og gav Befaling om sine Been. ²³ Formedelst Tro blev Moses, der han var født, skjult tre Maaneder af sine Forældre, fordi de saae, at Barnet var deiligt, og de frygtede ikke for Kongens Befaling. ²⁴ Formedelst Tro nægtede Moses der han var bleven stor, at kaldes Pharaos Datters Søn, ²⁵ og valgte hellere at lide Ondt med Guds Folk end at have Syndens timelige Nydelse, ²⁶ agtende Christi Forsmædelse for større Rigdom end Ægyptens Liggendefæ; thi han saae han til Belønningen. ²⁷ Formedelst Tro forlod han Ægypten og frygtede ikke for Kongens Vrede; thi han holdt hardt ved den Usynlige, som om han saae ham. ²⁸ Formedelst Tro anordnede han Paasken og Blodstænkelsen, at den, som ødelagde de Forstefødte, skulde ikke røre dem. ²⁹ Formedelst Tro gik de igjennem det røde Hav som igjennem tørt Land; men da Ægypterne forsøgte det, druknede de. ³⁰ Formedelst Tro faldt Jerichos Mure, efterat de vare omgangne i syv Dage. ³¹ Formedelst Tro omkom Rahab, Skjøgen, ikke med de Vantroe; thi hun annammede Speiderne med Fred. ³² Dog hvi skal jeg tale mere? Tiden vilde jo fattes mig, hvis jeg fortalte om Gideon, om Barak, og Samson og Jephta, om David og Samuel og Propheterne, ³³ hvilke formedelst Tro overvandt Riger, øvede Retfærdighed, erholdt Forjættelser, stoppede Løvers Mund, ³⁴ skulde Ildens Kraft, undflyede Sværdets Od, bleve Stærke efter Skrøbelighed, bleve vældige i Krigen, bragte Fjendernes Leire til at vige. ³⁵ Kvinder fik deres Døde igjen, opstandne; Andre bleve udspilede til Pinsel og toge ikke imod Befrielse, at de maatte erholde en herligere Opstandelse. ³⁶ Andre prøvede Bespottelser og Hudstrygelser, tilmed Lænker og Fængsel; ³⁷ de bleve stenede, gjennemsavgede, fristede, henrettede med Sværd, gik omkring i Faare- og Gedeskind, lidende Mangel, betrængte, mishandlede, ³⁸ (dem var Verden ikke værd,) omvankende i Ørkener, paa Bjerge og i Jordens Huler og Kløfter. ³⁹ Og disse alle, enddog de havde Vidnesbyrd for deres Tro, naaede ikke Forjættelsen, ⁴⁰ efterdi Gud havde udseet noget Bedre for os, at de ikke skulde fuldkommes uden os.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 亞伯因著信，獻祭與神，比該隱所獻的更美，因此便得了稱義的見證，就是神指著他禮物作的見證。他雖然死了，卻因這信，仍舊說話。 ⁵ 以諾因著信，被接去，不至於見死，人也找不著他，因為神已經把他接去了；只是他被接去以先，已經得了神喜悅他的明證。 ⁶ 人非有信，就不能得神的喜悅；因為到神面前來的人必須信有神，且信他賞賜那尋求他的人。 ⁷ 挪亞因著信，既蒙神指示他未見的事，動了敬畏的心，預備了一隻方舟，使他全家得救。因此就定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了那從信而來的義。 ⁸ 亞伯拉罕因著信，蒙召的時候就遵命出去，往將來要得為業的地方去；出去的時候，還不知往那裡去。 ⁹ 他因著信，就在所應許之地作客，好像在異地居住帳棚，與那同蒙一個應許的以撒、雅各一樣。 ¹⁰ 因為他等候那座有根基的城，就是神所經營所建造的。 ¹¹ 因著信，連撒拉自己，雖然過了生育的歲數，還能懷孕，因他以為那應許他的是可信的。 ¹² 所以從一個彷彿已死的人就生出子孫，如同天上的星那樣眾多，海邊的沙那樣無數。 ¹³ 這些人都是存著信心死的，並沒有得著所應許的；卻從遠處望見，且歡喜迎接，又承認自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。 ¹⁴ 說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家鄉。 ¹⁵ 他們若想念所離開的家鄉，還有可以回去的機會。 ¹⁶ 他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉，就是在天上的。所以神被稱為他們的神，並不以為恥，因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。 ¹⁷ 亞伯拉罕因著信，被試驗的時候，就把以撒獻上；這便是那歡喜領受應許的，將自己獨生的兒子獻上。 ¹⁸ 論到這兒子，曾有話說：從以撒生的纔要稱為你的後裔。 ¹⁹ 他以為神還能叫人從死裡復活；他也彷彿從死中得回他的兒子來。 ²⁰ 以撒因著信，就指著將來的事給雅各、以掃祝福。 ²¹ 雅各因著信，臨死的時候，給約瑟的兩個兒子各自祝福，扶著杖頭敬拜神。 ²² 約瑟因著信，臨終的時候，題到以色列族將來要出埃及，並為自己的骸骨留下遺命。 ²³ 摩西生下來，他的父母見他是個俊美的孩子，就因著信，把他藏了三個月，並不怕王命。 ²⁴ 摩西因著信，長大了就不肯稱為法老女兒之子。 ²⁵ 他寧可和神的百姓同受苦害，也不願暫時享受罪中之樂。 ²⁶ 他看為基督受的凌辱比埃及的財物更寶貴，因他想望所要得的賞賜。 ²⁷ 他因著信，就離開埃及，不怕王怒；因為他恆心忍耐，如同看見那不能看見的主。 ²⁸ 他因著信，就守（或作：立）逾越節，行灑血的禮，免得那滅長子的臨近以色列人。 ²⁹ 他們因著信，過紅海如行乾地；埃及人試著要過去，就被吞滅了。 ³⁰ 以色列人因著信，圍繞耶利哥城七日，城牆就倒塌了。 ³¹ 妓女喇合因著信，曾和和平平的接待探子，就不與那些不順從的人一同滅亡。 ³² 我又何必再說呢？若要一一細說，基甸、巴拉、參孫、耶弗他、大衛、撒母耳，和眾先知的事，時候就不夠了。 ³³ 他們因著信，制伏了敵國，行了公義，得了應許，堵了獅子的口， ³⁴ 滅了烈火的猛勢，脫了刀劍的鋒刃；軟弱變為剛強，爭戰顯出勇敢，打退外邦的全軍。 ³⁵ 有婦人得自己的死人復活。又有人忍受嚴刑，不肯苟且得釋放（原文是贖），為要得著更美的復活。 ³⁶ 又有人忍受戲弄、鞭打、捆鎖、監禁、各等的磨煉， ³⁷ 被石頭打死，被鋸鋸死，受試探，被刀殺，披著綿羊山羊的皮各處奔跑，受窮乏、患難、苦害， ³⁸ 在曠野、山嶺、山洞、地穴，飄流無定，本是世界不配有的人。 ³⁹ 這些人都是因信得了美好的證據，卻仍未得著所應許的； ⁴⁰ 因為神給我們預備了更美的事，叫他們若不與我們同得，就不能完全。

4 G6 亞伯 G4102 因著信 G4374 ，獻祭 G2316 與神 G2535 ，比該隱 G2378 所獻的 G3844 更 G4119 美 G1223 ，因 G3739 此 G1511 便得了稱 G1342 義 G3140 的見證 G2316 ，就是神 G1909 指著 G846 他 G1435 禮物 G3140 作的見證 G599 。他雖然死了 G2532 ，卻 G1223 因 G2089 這信，仍舊 G2980 G2980 說話。

5 G1802 以諾 G4102 因著信 G3346 ，被接去 G3361 ，不 G1492 至於見 G2288 死 G2532 ，人也 G2147 找 G3756 不 G1360 著他，因為 G2316 神 G846 已經把他 G3346 接去了 G1063 ；只是 G846 他 G3331 被接去 G4253 以先 G2316 ，已經得了神 G2100 喜悅 G3140 他的明證。

6 G5565 人非有 G4102 信 G102 ，就不能 G2100 得神的喜悅 G1063 ；因為 G4334 到 G2316 神 G1163 面前來的人必須 G4100 信 G3754 有 G2076 神 G2532 ，且 G3406 信他賞賜 G1567 那尋求 G846 他的人。

7 G3575 挪亞 G4102 因著信 G5537 ，既蒙神指示 G3369 他未 G991 見 G4012 的 G2125 事，動了敬畏 G2680 的心，預備了 G2787 一隻方舟 G1519 ，使 G846 他 G3624 全家 G4991 得救 G1223 。因 G3739 此 G2632 就定了 G2889 那世代 G2532 的罪，自己也 G1096 G2818 承受了 G2596 那從 G4102 信 G1343 而來的義。

8 G11 亞伯拉罕 G4102 因著信 G2564 ，蒙召 G5219 的時候就遵命 G1831 出去 G1519 ，往 G3195 將來要 G2983 得 G1519 為 G2817 業 G3739 的 G5117 地方 G1831 去；出去 G2532 的時候，還 G3361 不 G1987 知 G4226 往那裡 G2064 去。

9 G4102 他因著信 G1519 ，就在 G1860 所應許 G1093 之地 G3939 作客 G5613 ，好像 G1722 在 G245 異地 G2730 居住 G4633 帳棚 G3326 ，與 G4789 那同蒙 G1860 一個應許 G2464 的以撒 G2532 、 G2384 雅各 G846 一樣。

10 G1063 因為 G1551 他等候 G4172 那座 G2192 有 G2310 根基 G3739 的城，就是 G2316 神 G5079 所經營 G1217 所建造的。

11 G4102 因著信 G2532 ，連 G4564 撒拉 G846 自己 G2532 ，雖然 G3844 過了 G5088 生育 G2540 G2244 的歲數 G2602 ，還能懷 G4690 孕 G1893 ，因 G2233 他以為 G1861 那應許 G4103 他的是可信的。

12 G1352 所以 G575 從 G1520 一個 G2532 彷彿已 G3499 死 G5023 的人 G1080 就生出 G2531 子孫，如同 G3772 天上 G798 的星 G4128 那樣眾多 G2281 ，海 G5491 邊 G285 的沙 G3588 那樣 G382 無數。

13 G3778 這些 G3956 人 G2596 都是存著 G4102 信心 G599 死的 G3361 ，並沒 G2983 有得著 G1860 所應許的 G235 ；卻 G4207 從遠處 G1492 望見 G2532 ，且 G782 歡喜迎接 G2532 ，又 G3670 承認 G1909 自己在 G1093 世上 G1526 是 G2532 客旅，是 G3927 寄居的。

14 G3004 說 G5108 這樣話 G1718 的人是表明 G1934 自己要找 G3968 一個家鄉。

15 G1487 他們若 G3421 想念 G1831 所離開 G2192 的家鄉，還有 G302 可以 G344 回去 G2540 的機會。

16 G1161 他們卻 G3713 羨慕 G2909 一個更美 G5123 的家鄉，就是 G2032 在天上 G1352 的。所以 G2316 神 G1941 被稱為 G846 他們的 G2316 神 G3756 ，並不 G1870 G846 以為恥 G1063 ，因為 G846 他已經給他們 G2090 預備了 G4172 一座城。

17 G11 亞伯拉罕 G4102 因著信 G3985 ，被試驗 G2464 的時候，就把以撒 G4374 獻上 G2532 ；這便是 G324 那歡喜領受 G1860 應許 G3439 的，將自己獨生的兒子獻上。

18 G4314 論到 G2980 這兒子，曾有話說 G1722 ：從 G2464 以撒 G2564 生的纔要稱為 G4671 你的 G4690 後裔。

19 G3049 G3754 他以為 G2316 神 G2532 還 G1415 能 G1537 叫人從 G3498 死 G1453 裡復活 G2532 ；他也 G1722 G3850 彷彿 G3606 從死中 G2865 得回他的兒子來。

20 G2464 以撒 G4102 因著信 G3195 ，就指著將來 G4012 的 G2384 事給雅各 G2269 、以掃 G2127 祝福。

21 G2384 雅各 G4102 因著信 G599 ，臨死 G2501 的時候，給約瑟 G1538 的兩個 G5207 兒子 G2127 各自祝福 G4464 ，扶著杖 G206 頭 G4352 敬拜神。

22 G2501 約瑟 G4102 因著信 G5053 ，臨終 G3421 的時候，題 G4012 到 G2474 以色列 G5207 族 G1841 將來要出 G2532 埃及，並 G4012 為 G846 自己的 G3747 骸骨 G1781 留下遺命。

23 G3475 摩西 G1080 生下來 G846 ，他的 G3962 父母 G1492 見 G791 他是個俊美的 G3813 孩子 G4102 ，就因著信 G5259 ，把 G2928 他藏了 G5150 三個月 G2532 ，並 G3756 不 G5399 怕 G935 王 G1297 命。

24 G3475 摩西 G4102 因著信 G1096 G3173 ，長大了 G720 就不肯 G3004 稱為 G5328 法老 G2364 女兒 G5207 之子。

25 G138 他寧 G3123 可 G2316 和神 G2992 的百姓 G4778 同受苦害 G2228 ，也不願 G4340 暫時 G2192 享受 G266 罪 G619 中之樂。

26 G5547 他看為基督 G3680 受的凌辱 G2233 比 G125 埃及 G2344 的財物 G3187 更 G4149 寶貴 G1063 ，因 G578 他想望 G1519 所 G3405 要得的賞賜。

27 G4102 他因著信 G2641 ，就離開 G125 埃及 G3361 ，不 G5399 怕 G935 王 G2372 怒 G1063 ；因為 G2594 他恆心忍耐 G5613 ，如同 G3708 看見 G517 那不能看見的主。

28 G4102 他因著信 G4160 ，就守 G3957 （或作：立）逾越節 G4378 ，行灑 G129 血 G3363 的禮，免得 G3645 那滅 G4416 長子 G2345 的臨近以色列人。

29 G4102 他們因著信 G1224 ，過 G2063 紅 G2281 海 G5613 如 G1223 行 G3584 乾地 G124 ；埃及人 G3984 試著 G2983 要過去 G2666 ，就被吞滅了。

30 G4102 以色列人因著信 G2944 G1909 ，圍繞 G2410 耶利哥 G5038 城 G2033 七 G2250 日 G4098 ，城牆就倒塌了。

31 G4204 妓女 G4460 喇合 G4102 因著信 G3326 ，曾 G1515 和和平平 G1209 的接待 G2685 探子 G3756 ，就不與那些不 G544 順從 G4881 的人一同滅亡。

32 G2532 我又 G5101 何必 G2089 再 G3004 說 G1334 呢？若要一一細說 G1066 ，基甸 G913 、巴拉 G4546 、參孫 G2422 、耶弗他 G1138 、大衛 G4545 、撒母耳 G2532 ，和 G4396 眾先知 G5550 的事，時候 G1063 就 G1952 不夠了。

33 G3739 他們 G1223 因著 G4102 信 G2610 ，制伏了 G932 敵國 G2038 ，行了 G1343 公義 G2013 ，得了 G1860 應許 G4750 ，堵了 G3023 獅子 G4750 的口，

34 G4570 滅了 G4442 烈火 G1411 的猛勢 G5343 ，脫了 G3162 刀劍 G4750 的鋒刃 G769 ；軟弱 G1743 變為剛強 G4171 ，爭戰 G1096 顯出 G2478 勇敢 G2827 ，打退 G245 外邦的 G3925 全軍。

35 G1135 有婦人 G2983 得 G846 自己的 G3498 死人 G1537 G386 復活 G1161 。又 G243 有人 G5178 忍受嚴刑 G3756 ，不 G4327 肯苟且得 G629 釋放 G2443 （原文是贖），為 G5177 要得著 G2909 更美的 G386 復活。

36 G1161 又 G2087 有人 G2983 忍受 G1701 戲弄 G3148 、鞭打 G1199 、捆鎖 G5438 、監禁 G3984 、各等的磨煉，

37 G3034 被石頭打死 G4249 ，被鋸鋸死 G3985 ，受試探 G1722 ，被 G5408 G3162 刀 G599 殺 G1722 ，披著 G3374 綿羊 G122 山羊 G1192 的皮 G4022 各處奔跑 G5302 ，受窮乏 G2346 、患難 G2558 、苦害，

38 G1722 在 G2047 曠野 G3735 、山嶺 G4693 、山洞 G1093 、地 G3692 穴 G4105 ，飄流無定 G2258 ，本是 G2258 世界 G3756 不 G514 配有 G3739 的人。

40 G2257 因為神 G4012 給 G4012 我們 G4265 預備了 G2909 更美的 G5100 事 G5565 ，叫他們若不與 G2257 我們 G3363 同得，就不能 G5048 完全。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 亚伯因着信，献祭与神，比该隐所献的更美，因此便得了称义的见證，就是神指着他礼物作的见證。他虽然死了，却因这信，仍旧说话。 ⁵ 以诺因着信，被接去，不至于见死，人也找不着他，因为神已经把他接去了；只是他被接去以先，已经得了神喜悦他的明證。 ⁶ 人非冇信，就不能得神的喜悦；因为到神面前来的人必须信冇神，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。 ⁷ 挪亚因着信，既蒙神指示他未见的事，动了敬畏的心，预备了一隻方舟，使他全家得救。因此就定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了那从信而来的义。 ⁸ 亚伯拉罕因着信，蒙召的时候就遵命出去，往将来要得为业的地方去；出去的时候，还不知往那里去。 ⁹ 他因着信，就在所应许之地作客，好象在异地居住帐棚，与那同蒙一个应许的以撒、雅各一样。 ¹⁰ 因为他等候那座冇根基的城，就是神所经营所建造的。 ¹¹ 因着信，连撒拉自己，虽然过了生育的岁数，还能怀孕，因他以为那应许他的是可信的。 ¹² 所以从一个彷彿已死的人就生出子孙，如同天上的星那样众多，海边的沙那样无数。 ¹³ 这些人都是存着信心死的，并没冇得着所应许的；却从远处望见，且欢喜迎接，又承认自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。 ¹⁴ 说这样话的人是表明自己要找一个家乡。 ¹⁵ 他们若想念所离幵的家乡，还冇可以回去的机会。 ¹⁶ 他们却羡慕一个更美的家乡，就是在天上的。所以神被称为他们的神，并不以为耻，因为他已经给他们预备了一座城。 ¹⁷ 亚伯拉罕因着信，被试验的时候，就把以撒献上；这便是那欢喜领受应许的，将自己独生的儿子献上。 ¹⁸ 论到这儿子，曾冇话说：从以撒生的纔要称为你的后裔。 ¹⁹ 他以为神还能叫人从死里复活；他也彷彿从死中得回他的儿子来。 ²⁰ 以撒因着信，就指着将来的事给雅各、以扫祝福。 ²¹ 雅各因着信，临死的时候，给约瑟的两个儿子各自祝福，扶着杖头敬拜神。 ²² 约瑟因着信，临终的时候，题到以色列族将来要出埃及，并为自己的骸骨留下遗命。 ²³ 摩西生下来，他的父母见他是个俊美的孩子，就因着信，把他藏了叁个月，并不怕王命。 ²⁴ 摩西因着信，长大了就不肯称为法老女儿之子。 ²⁵ 他宁可和神的百姓同受苦害，也不愿暂时享受罪中之乐。 ²⁶ 他看为基督受的凌辱比埃及的财物更宝贵，因他想望所要得的赏赐。 ²⁷ 他因着信，就离幵埃及，不怕王怒；因为他恒心忍耐，如同看见那不能看见的主。 ²⁸ 他因着信，就守（或作：立）逾越节，行灑血的礼，免得那灭长子的临近以色列人。 ²⁹ 他们因着信，过红海如行乾地；埃及人试着要过去，就被吞灭了。 ³⁰ 以色列人因着信，围绕耶利哥城七日，城墙就倒塌了。 ³¹ 妓女喇合因着信，曾和和平平的接待探子，就不与那些不顺从的人一同灭亡。 ³² 我又何必再说呢？若要一一细说，基甸、巴拉、参孙、耶弗他、大卫、撒母耳，和众先知的事，时候就不够了。 ³³ 他们因着信，制伏了敌国，行了公义，得了应许，堵了狮子的口， ³⁴ 灭了烈火的猛势，脱了刀剑的锋刃；软弱变为刚强，争战显出勇敢，打退外邦的全军。 ³⁵ 冇妇人得自己的死人复活。又冇人忍受严刑，不肯苟且得释放（原文是赎），为要得着更美的复活。 ³⁶ 又冇人忍受戏弄、鞭打、捆锁、监禁、各等的磨炼， ³⁷ 被石头打死，被锯锯死，受试探，被刀杀，披着绵羊山羊的皮各处奔跑，受穷乏、患难、苦害， ³⁸ 在旷野、山岭、山洞、地穴，飘流无定，本是世界不配冇的人。 ³⁹ 这些人都是因信得了美好的證据，却仍未得着所应许的； ⁴⁰ 因为神给我们预备了更美的事，叫他们若不与我们同得，就不能完全。

4 G6 亚伯 G4102 因着信 G4374 ，献祭 G2316 与神 G2535 ，比该隐 G2378 所献的 G3844 更 G4119 美 G1223 ，因 G3739 此 G1511 便得了称 G1342 义 G3140 的见證 G2316 ，就是神 G1909 指着 G846 他 G1435 礼物 G3140 作的见證 G599 。他虽然死了 G2532 ，却 G1223 因 G2089 这信，仍旧 G2980 G2980 说话。

5 G1802 以诺 G4102 因着信 G3346 ，被接去 G3361 ，不 G1492 至于见 G2288 死 G2532 ，人也 G2147 找 G3756 不 G1360 着他，因为 G2316 神 G846 已经把他 G3346 接去了 G1063 ；只是 G846 他 G3331 被接去 G4253 以先 G2316 ，已经得了神 G2100 喜悦 G3140 他的明證。

6 G5565 人非有 G4102 信 G102 ，就不能 G2100 得神的喜悦 G1063 ；因为 G4334 到 G2316 神 G1163 面前来的人必须 G4100 信 G3754 有 G2076 神 G2532 ，且 G3406 信他赏赐 G1567 那寻求 G846 他的人。

7 G3575 挪亚 G4102 因着信 G5537 ，既蒙神指示 G3369 他未 G991 见 G4012 的 G2125 事，动了敬畏 G2680 的心，预备了 G2787 一隻方舟 G1519 ，使 G846 他 G3624 全家 G4991 得救 G1223 。因 G3739 此 G2632 就定了 G2889 那世代 G2532 的罪，自己也 G1096 G2818 承受了 G2596 那从 G4102 信 G1343 而来的义。

8 G11 亚伯拉罕 G4102 因着信 G2564 ，蒙召 G5219 的时候就遵命 G1831 出去 G1519 ，往 G3195 将来要 G2983 得 G1519 为 G2817 业 G3739 的 G5117 地方 G1831 去；出去 G2532 的时候，还 G3361 不 G1987 知 G4226 往那里 G2064 去。

9 G4102 他因着信 G1519 ，就在 G1860 所应许 G1093 之地 G3939 作客 G5613 ，好象 G1722 在 G245 异地 G2730 居住 G4633 帐棚 G3326 ，与 G4789 那同蒙 G1860 一个应许 G2464 的以撒 G2532 、 G2384 雅各 G846 一样。

10 G1063 因为 G1551 他等候 G4172 那座 G2192 有 G2310 根基 G3739 的城，就是 G2316 神 G5079 所经营 G1217 所建造的。

11 G4102 因着信 G2532 ，连 G4564 撒拉 G846 自己 G2532 ，虽然 G3844 过了 G5088 生育 G2540 G2244 的岁数 G2602 ，还能怀 G4690 孕 G1893 ，因 G2233 他以为 G1861 那应许 G4103 他的是可信的。

12 G1352 所以 G575 从 G1520 一个 G2532 彷彿已 G3499 死 G5023 的人 G1080 就生出 G2531 子孙，如同 G3772 天上 G798 的星 G4128 那样众多 G2281 ，海 G5491 边 G285 的沙 G3588 那样 G382 无数。

13 G3778 这些 G3956 人 G2596 都是存着 G4102 信心 G599 死的 G3361 ，并没 G2983 有得着 G1860 所应许的 G235 ；却 G4207 从远处 G1492 望见 G2532 ，且 G782 欢喜迎接 G2532 ，又 G3670 承认 G1909 自己在 G1093 世上 G1526 是 G2532 客旅，是 G3927 寄居的。

14 G3004 说 G5108 这样话 G1718 的人是表明 G1934 自己要找 G3968 一个家乡。

15 G1487 他们若 G3421 想念 G1831 所离开 G2192 的家乡，还有 G302 可以 G344 回去 G2540 的机会。

16 G1161 他们却 G3713 羡慕 G2909 一个更美 G5123 的家乡，就是 G2032 在天上 G1352 的。所以 G2316 神 G1941 被称为 G846 他们的 G2316 神 G3756 ，并不 G1870 G846 以为耻 G1063 ，因为 G846 他已经给他们 G2090 预备了 G4172 一座城。

17 G11 亚伯拉罕 G4102 因着信 G3985 ，被试验 G2464 的时候，就把以撒 G4374 献上 G2532 ；这便是 G324 那欢喜领受 G1860 应许 G3439 的，将自己独生的儿子献上。

18 G4314 论到 G2980 这儿子，曾有话说 G1722 ：从 G2464 以撒 G2564 生的纔要称为 G4671 你的 G4690 后裔。

19 G3049 G3754 他以为 G2316 神 G2532 还 G1415 能 G1537 叫人从 G3498 死 G1453 里复活 G2532 ；他也 G1722 G3850 彷彿 G3606 从死中 G2865 得回他的儿子来。

20 G2464 以撒 G4102 因着信 G3195 ，就指着将来 G4012 的 G2384 事给雅各 G2269 、以扫 G2127 祝福。

21 G2384 雅各 G4102 因着信 G599 ，临死 G2501 的时候，给约瑟 G1538 的两个 G5207 儿子 G2127 各自祝福 G4464 ，扶着杖 G206 头 G4352 敬拜神。

22 G2501 约瑟 G4102 因着信 G5053 ，临终 G3421 的时候，题 G4012 到 G2474 以色列 G5207 族 G1841 将来要出 G2532 埃及，并 G4012 为 G846 自己的 G3747 骸骨 G1781 留下遗命。

23 G3475 摩西 G1080 生下来 G846 ，他的 G3962 父母 G1492 见 G791 他是个俊美的 G3813 孩子 G4102 ，就因着信 G5259 ，把 G2928 他藏了 G5150 叁个月 G2532 ，并 G3756 不 G5399 怕 G935 王 G1297 命。

24 G3475 摩西 G4102 因着信 G1096 G3173 ，长大了 G720 就不肯 G3004 称为 G5328 法老 G2364 女儿 G5207 之子。

25 G138 他宁 G3123 可 G2316 和神 G2992 的百姓 G4778 同受苦害 G2228 ，也不愿 G4340 暂时 G2192 享受 G266 罪 G619 中之乐。

26 G5547 他看为基督 G3680 受的凌辱 G2233 比 G125 埃及 G2344 的财物 G3187 更 G4149 宝贵 G1063 ，因 G578 他想望 G1519 所 G3405 要得的赏赐。

27 G4102 他因着信 G2641 ，就离开 G125 埃及 G3361 ，不 G5399 怕 G935 王 G2372 怒 G1063 ；因为 G2594 他恒心忍耐 G5613 ，如同 G3708 看见 G517 那不能看见的主。

28 G4102 他因着信 G4160 ，就守 G3957 （或作：立）逾越节 G4378 ，行灑 G129 血 G3363 的礼，免得 G3645 那灭 G4416 长子 G2345 的临近以色列人。

29 G4102 他们因着信 G1224 ，过 G2063 红 G2281 海 G5613 如 G1223 行 G3584 乾地 G124 ；埃及人 G3984 试着 G2983 要过去 G2666 ，就被吞灭了。

30 G4102 以色列人因着信 G2944 G1909 ，围绕 G2410 耶利哥 G5038 城 G2033 七 G2250 日 G4098 ，城墙就倒塌了。

31 G4204 妓女 G4460 喇合 G4102 因着信 G3326 ，曾 G1515 和和平平 G1209 的接待 G2685 探子 G3756 ，就不与那些不 G544 顺从 G4881 的人一同灭亡。

32 G2532 我又 G5101 何必 G2089 再 G3004 说 G1334 呢？若要一一细说 G1066 ，基甸 G913 、巴拉 G4546 、参孙 G2422 、耶弗他 G1138 、大卫 G4545 、撒母耳 G2532 ，和 G4396 众先知 G5550 的事，时候 G1063 就 G1952 不够了。

33 G3739 他们 G1223 因着 G4102 信 G2610 ，制伏了 G932 敌国 G2038 ，行了 G1343 公义 G2013 ，得了 G1860 应许 G4750 ，堵了 G3023 狮子 G4750 的口，

34 G4570 灭了 G4442 烈火 G1411 的猛势 G5343 ，脱了 G3162 刀剑 G4750 的锋刃 G769 ；软弱 G1743 变为刚强 G4171 ，争战 G1096 显出 G2478 勇敢 G2827 ，打退 G245 外邦的 G3925 全军。

35 G1135 有妇人 G2983 得 G846 自己的 G3498 死人 G1537 G386 复活 G1161 。又 G243 有人 G5178 忍受严刑 G3756 ，不 G4327 肯苟且得 G629 释放 G2443 （原文是赎），为 G5177 要得着 G2909 更美的 G386 复活。

36 G1161 又 G2087 有人 G2983 忍受 G1701 戏弄 G3148 、鞭打 G1199 、捆锁 G5438 、监禁 G3984 、各等的磨炼，

37 G3034 被石头打死 G4249 ，被锯锯死 G3985 ，受试探 G1722 ，被 G5408 G3162 刀 G599 杀 G1722 ，披着 G3374 绵羊 G122 山羊 G1192 的皮 G4022 各处奔跑 G5302 ，受穷乏 G2346 、患难 G2558 、苦害，

38 G1722 在 G2047 旷野 G3735 、山岭 G4693 、山洞 G1093 、地 G3692 穴 G4105 ，飘流无定 G2258 ，本是 G2258 世界 G3756 不 G514 配有 G3739 的人。

39 G3778 这些 G3956 人 G1223 都是因 G4102 信 G3140 得了美好的證据 G3756 ，却仍未 G2865 得着 G1860 所应许的；

40 G2257 因为神 G4012 给 G4012 我们 G4265 预备了 G2909 更美的 G5100 事 G5565 ，叫他们若不与 G2257 我们 G3363 同得，就不能 G5048 完全。

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Usu läbi tõi Aabel Jumalale parema ohvri kui Kain, ja usu kaudu ta sai tunnistuse, et tema oli õige, kui Jumal andis tunnistuse tema andide kohta, ja usu kaudu ta räägib veel pärast surmagi. ⁵ Usu läbi võeti ära Eenok, et ta surma ei näeks, ja teda ei leitud enam, sest Jumal oli ta ära võtnud. Sest enne äravõttu oli ta juba saanud tunnistuse, et ta oli Jumalale meelepärane. ⁶ Aga ilma usuta on võimatu olla meelepärane; sest kes Jumala juurde tuleb, peab uskuma, et Tema on olemas ja et Ta annab palga neile, kes Teda otsivad. ⁷ Usu kaudu sai Noa ilmutuse sellest, mida veel ei olnud näha, ja ehitas pühas kartuses laeva oma perekonna päästmiseks; ja selle kaudu ta mõistis hukka maailma ning sai selle õiguse pärijaks, mis tuleb usust. ⁸ Usu läbi kuulas Aabraham sõna, kui teda kutsuti välja minema paika, mille ta pidi saama pärandiks; ja ta läks välja ilma teadmata, kuhu ta läheb. ⁹ Usu läbi asus ta võõrana elama tõotusemaale otsekui võõrale maale ja elas telkides ühes Iisaki ja Jaakobiga, kes olid sama tõotuse kaaspärijad; ¹⁰ sest ta ootas linna, millel on alused ja mille ehitaja ning valmistaja on Jumal. ¹¹ Usu läbi sai isegi Saara rammu soo rajamiseks ja pealegi üle oma ea, sellepärast et ta pidas ustavaks teda, kes tõotuse oli andnud. ¹² Sellepärast sündis ka ühest ja pealegi elatanud mehest nii palju nagu taevas tähti ja nagu mere ääres liiva, mida ei saa ära lugeda. ¹³ Usus need kõik surid ega saanud tõotusi kätte, vaid nägid neid kaugelt ja teretasid neid ning tunnistasid endid olevat võõrad ja majalised maa peal. ¹⁴ Sest need, kes seda ütlevad, näitavad, et nad otsivad kodumaad. ¹⁵ Ja kui nad oleksid mõelnud seda kodumaad, kust nad olid väljunud, siis oleks neil ju olnud juhust minna tagasi. ¹⁶ Ent nüüd nad igatsevad paremat kodumaad, see on taevast; seepärast ei ole Jumalal neist häbi ja Ta laseb Ennast nimetada nende Jumalaks; sest Ta on neile valmistanud linna. ¹⁷ Usu läbi viis Aabraham ohvriks Iisaki, kui teda katsuti, ja ohverdas selle ainusündinu, kui ta oli saanud tõotused ¹⁸ ning kui temale oli öeldud: "Iisakist loetakse sinu sugu!" ¹⁹ Sest ta mõtles, et Jumal on võimeline ka surnuist üles äratama; selle mõistukujuks ta sai tema ka tagasi. ²⁰ Usu läbi õnnistas ka Iisak Jaakobit ja Eesavit tulevaste asjade suhtes. ²¹ Usu läbi õnnistas Jaakob surres kumbagi Joosepi poegadest ja palvetas oma kepi pära najal. ²² Usu läbi tuletas Joosep oma eluotsal meelde Iisraeli laste väljumist ja tegi korralduse oma luude kohta. ²³ Usu läbi varjasid vanemad Moosest pärast ta sündimist kolm kuud, sest nad nägid ta ilusa lapse olevat ega kartnud kuninga käsku. ²⁴ Usu läbi keeldus Mooses, kui ta suureks sai, kandmast vaarao tütrepoja nime, ²⁵ pidades paremaks ühes Jumala rahvaga kannatada viletsust kui üürikest aega nautida paturõõmu, ²⁶ arvates Kristuse teotust suuremaks rikkuseks kui Egiptuse aarded; sest ta tõstis oma silmad tasu poole. ²⁷ Usu läbi ta jättis maha Egiptuse ega kartnud kuninga viha, sest otsekui nähes teda, kes on nähtamatu, püsis ta kindlana. ²⁸ Usu läbi ta pidas Paasapüha ja vere piserdust, et esmasündinute surmaja ei puudutaks neid. ²⁹ Usu läbi nad läksid Punasest merest läbi nagu kuiva maad mööda, mida ka egiptlased katsusid teha, aga uppusid. ³⁰ Usu läbi langesid Jeeriko müürid, kui seitse päeva oli käidud nende ümber. ³¹ Usu läbi ei saanud hoor Raahab hukka ühes sõnakuulmatutega, kui ta salakuulajad oli rahuga vastu võtnud. ³² Ja mida ma veel ütleksin? Mul puudub aeg jutustada Giideonist ja Baarakist ja Simsonist ja Jeftast ja Taavetist ja Saamuelist ja prohvetitest, ³³ kes usu läbi võitsid ära kuningriigid, viisid täide õiguse, said kätte tõotused, sulgesid lõukoerte lõuad, ³⁴ kustutasid tule väe, pääsesid ära mõõgatera eest, said nõtrusest tugevaks, said vägevaks sõjas, ajasid pakku võõraste sõjahulgad. ³⁵ Naised said tagasi oma surnud ülestõusmise läbi. Teised lasksid ennast piinata ega võtnud vastu vabastamist, et saaksid parema ülestõusmise osalisiks. ³⁶ Teised said kogeda pilget ja rooska, peale selle ahelaid ja vangitorni. ³⁷ Neid on kividega visatud, piinatud, lõhki saetud, mõõgaga surmatud; nad on lambanahas ja kitsenahas käinud ühest kohast teise, puuduses, viletsuses, kurja kannatades, nemad, ³⁸ kelle väärt maailm ei olnud. Nad eksisid ümber kõrbetes ja mägedel ja koobastes ja maa-aukudes. ³⁹ Ja need kõik, olles usu läbi saanud tunnistuse, ei saavutanud ometi mitte seda, mis oli tõotatud; ⁴⁰ sest Jumal oli meile varunud midagi paremat, et nad ilma meieta ei pääseks täielikkusesse.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Uskon kautta Abel uhrasi Jumalalle suuremman uhrin kuin Kain, jonka kautta hän sai todistuksen, että hän oli vanhurskas, kuin Jumala hänen lahjoistansa todisti; ja sen kautta hän vielä puhuu, vaikka hän kuollut on. ⁵ Uskon kautta Enok otettiin pois, ettei hän kuolemaa nähnyt, ja ei ole löydetty, että Jumala hänen otti pois; sillä ennenkuin hän otettiin pois, oli hänellä todistus, että hän kelpasi Jumalalle. ⁶ Sillä ilman uskoa on mahdotoin kelvata (Jumalalle); sillä joka Jumalan tykö tulla tahtoo, sen pitää uskoman, että hän on, ja on niille kostaja, jotka häntä etsivät. ⁷ Uskon kautta sai Noa Jumalan käskyn niistä, jotka ei vielä näkyneet, pelkäsi ja valmisti arkin huoneensa autuudeksi; jonka kautta hän maailman tuomitsi, ja tuli sen vanhurskauden perilliseksi, joka uskon kautta tulee. ⁸ Uskon kautta tuli Abraham kuuliaiseksi, kuin hän kutsuttiin menemään siihen maahan, jonka hän oli perivä, ja hän meni eikä tietänyt kuhunka hän tuleva oli. ⁹ Uskon kautta oli hän muukalainen luvatussa maassa, niinkuin vieraalla maalla, ja asui majoissa Isaakin ja Jakobin kanssa, jotka olivat sen lupauksen kanssaperilliset. ¹⁰ Sillä hän oli odottanut sitä kaupunkia, jolla perustus oli, jonka rakentaja ja luoja on Jumala. ¹¹ Uskon kautta myös Saara sai voiman siittääksensä, ja synnytti jälkeen ikänsä ajan; sillä hän piti sen uskollisena, joka sen hänelle luvannut oli. ¹² Sentähden myös yhdestä, joka niin jo kuollut oli, syntyi monta, niinkuin tähtiä on taivaassa ja niinkuin santaa meren rannassa, joka epälukuinen on. ¹³ Nämät kaikki ovat uskossa kuolleet ja ei ole niistä lupauksista saaneet, vaan ainoastansa taampaa nähneet ja kuitenkin niihin turvanneet ja hyvin tyytyivät ja tunnustivat, että he vieraat ja muukalaiset maan päällä olivat. ¹⁴ Sillä ne, jotka näitä sanovat, he osoittavat, että he isänmaata etsivät. ¹⁵ Ja jos he sitte muistaneet olisivat, kusta he lähteneet olivat, olis heillä kyllä aikaa palata ollut. ¹⁶ Mutta he pyytävät parempaa, se on: taivaallista. Sentähden ei Jumala häpee kutsuttaa heidän Jumalaksensa; sillä hän valmisti heille kaupungin. ¹⁷ Uskon kautta uhrasi Abraham Isaakin, kuin hän kiusattiin, ja uhrasi ainokaisensa, kuin hän jo oli lupaukset saanut, ¹⁸ Josta sanottu oli: Isaakissa kutsutaan sinulle siemen, ¹⁹ Ja ajatteli, että Jumala voi kuolleistakin herättää; josta hän myös hänen niinkuin yhdessä esikuvassa jälleen sai. ²⁰ Uskon kautta siunasi Isaak tulevaisista asioista Jakobia ja Esauta. ²¹ Uskon kautta siunasi Jakob kuollessansa molemmat Josephin pojat, rukoili ja nojasi sauvansa pään päälle. ²² Uskon kautta puhui Joseph kuollessansa Israelin lasten lähtemisestä ja antoi käskyn luistansa. ²³ Uskon kautta Moses, kuin hän syntynyt oli, salattiin kolme kuukautta vanhemmiltansa, että he näkivät, kuinka kaunis poikainen hän oli, ja ei peljänneet kuninkaan haastoa. ²⁴ Uskon kautta Moses, kuin hän jo suureksi tuli, kielsi kutsuttaa itsensä Pharaon tyttären pojaksi, ²⁵ Ja valitsi paljoa paremmaksi kärsiä vaivaa Jumalan joukon kanssa, kuin ajallista tarvetta synnissä nautita, ²⁶ Ja luki suuremmaksi rikkaudeksi Kristuksen pilkan, kuin Egyptin tavarat; sillä hän katsoi palkan maksoa. ²⁷ Uskon kautta jätti hän Egyptin ja ei peljännyt kuninkaan hirmuisuutta; sillä hän riippui hänessä, jota ei hän nähnyt, niinkuin hän jo olis hänen nähnyt. ²⁸ Uskon kautta piti hän pääsiäistä ja veren vuodatusta, ettei se, joka esikoiset tappoi, olisi ruvennut heihin. ²⁹ Uskon kautta kävivät ne Punaisen meren lävitse niinkuin kuivaa maata myöten, jota myös Egyptiläiset koettelivat ja upposivat. ³⁰ Uskon kautta Jerikon muurit lankesivat, kuin niitä seitsemän päivää käytiin ympäri. ³¹ Uskon kautta ei portto Rahab hukkunut uskomattomain kanssa, koska vakoojat rauhallisesti huoneeseensa korjasi. ³² Ja mitä minun pitää enempi sanoman? Sillä aika tulis minulle lyhyeksi, jos minun pitäis luetteleman Gideonista, ja Barakista, ja Simsonista, ja Jephtasta, ja Davidista, ja Samuelista, ja prophetaista, ³³ Jotka uskon kautta ovat valtakunnat voittaneet, tehneet vanhurskautta, saaneet lupaukset, tukkineet jalopeurain suut, ³⁴ Sammuttaneet tulen voiman, välttäneet miekan terän, ovat väkeväksi heikkoudesta tulleet ovat voimalliseksi sodassa tulleet, muukalaisten sotajoukot maahan lyöneet. ³⁵ Vaimot ovat kuolleensa ylösnousemisesta jälleen saaneet; mutta muut ovat rikki revityt, ja ei pelastusta ottaneet vastaan, että heidän paremman ylösnousemisen saaman piti. ³⁶ Muutamat taas ovat pilkkoja ja haavoja kärsineet, ja vielä sittekin kahleet ja vankiuden, ³⁷ Ovat kivitetyt, rikki hakatut, lävitse pistetyt, miekalla surmatut, vaeltaneet ympäri lammasten ja vuohten nahoissa, ovat olleet köyhät, ahdistetut, vaivatut. ³⁸ (Joille maailma oli mahdotoin), ovat korvessa eksyneet ja vuorilla, ja mäen rotkoissa ja maan kuopissa. ³⁹ Ja kaikki nämät ovat uskon kautta todistuksen saaneet, eikä saaneet sitä lupausta: ⁴⁰ Että Jumala on jotakin paremmin meille edeskatsonut, ettei he ilman meitä täydelliseksi tulleet olisi.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Uskon kautta uhrasi Aabel Jumalalle paremman uhrin kuin Kain, ja uskon kautta hän sai todistuksen, että hän oli vanhurskas, kun Jumala antoi todistuksen hänen uhrilahjoistaan; ja uskonsa kautta hän vielä kuoltuaankin puhuu. ⁵ Uskon kautta otettiin Eenok pois, näkemättä kuolemaa, "eikä häntä enää ollut, koska Jumala oli ottanut hänet pois". Sillä ennen poisottamistaan hän oli saanut todistuksen, että hän oli otollinen Jumalalle. ⁶ Mutta ilman uskoa on mahdoton olla otollinen; sillä sen, joka Jumalan tykö tulee, täytyy uskoa, että Jumala on ja että hän palkitsee ne, jotka häntä etsivät. ⁷ Uskon kautta rakensi Nooa, saatuaan ilmoituksen siitä, mikä ei vielä näkynyt, pyhässä pelossa arkin perhekuntansa pelastukseksi; ja uskonsa kautta hän tuomitsi maailman, ja hänestä tuli sen vanhurskauden perillinen, joka uskosta tulee. ⁸ Uskon kautta oli Aabraham kuuliainen, kun hänet kutsuttiin lähtemään siihen maahan, jonka hän oli saava perinnöksi, ja hän lähti tietämättä, minne oli saapuva. ⁹ Uskon kautta hän eli muukalaisena lupauksen maassa niinkuin vieraassa maassa, asuen teltoissa Iisakin ja Jaakobin kanssa, jotka olivat saman lupauksen perillisiä; ¹⁰ sillä hän odotti sitä kaupunkia, jolla on perustukset ja jonka rakentaja ja luoja on Jumala. ¹¹ Uskon kautta sai Saarakin voimaa suvun perustamiseen, vieläpä yli-ikäisenä, koska hän piti luotettavana sen, joka oli antanut lupauksen. ¹² Sentähden syntyikin yhdestä miehestä, vieläpä kuolettuneesta, niin suuri paljous, kuin on tähtiä taivaalla ja kuin meren rannalla hiekkaa, epälukuisesti. ¹³ Uskossa nämä kaikki kuolivat eivätkä luvattua saavuttaneet, vaan kaukaa he olivat sen nähneet ja sitä tervehtineet ja tunnustaneet olevansa vieraita ja muukalaisia maan päällä. ¹⁴ Sillä jotka näin puhuvat, ilmaisevat etsivänsä isänmaata. ¹⁵ Ja jos he olisivat tarkoittaneet sitä maata, josta olivat lähteneet, niin olisihan heillä ollut tilaisuus palata takaisin; ¹⁶ mutta nyt he pyrkivät parempaan, se on taivaalliseen. Sentähden Jumala ei heitä häpeä, vaan sallii kutsua itseään heidän Jumalaksensa; sillä hän on valmistanut heille kaupungin. ¹⁷ Uskon kautta uhrasi Aabraham, koetukselle pantuna, Iisakin, uhrasi ainoan poikansa, hän, joka oli lupaukset vastaanottanut ¹⁸ ja jolle oli sanottu: "Iisakista sinä saat nimellesi jälkeläisen", ¹⁹ sillä hän päätti, että Jumala on voimallinen kuolleistakin herättämään; ja sen vertauskuvana hän saikin hänet takaisin. ²⁰ Uskon kautta antoi Iisak Jaakobille ja Eesaulle siunauksen, joka koski tulevaisiakin. ²¹ Uskon kautta siunasi Jaakob kuollessaan kumpaisenkin Joosefin pojista ja rukoili sauvansa päähän nojaten. ²² Uskon kautta muistutti Joosef loppunsa lähetessä Israelin lasten lähdöstä ja antoi määräyksen luistansa. ²³ Uskon kautta pitivät Mooseksen vanhemmat häntä heti hänen syntymänsä jälkeen kätkössä kolme kuukautta, sillä he näkivät, että lapsi oli ihana; eivätkä he peljänneet kuninkaan käskyä. ²⁴ Uskon kautta kieltäytyi Mooses suureksi tultuaan kantamasta faraon tyttären pojan nimeä. ²⁵ Hän otti mieluummin kärsiäkseen vaivaa yhdessä Jumalan kansan kanssa kuin saadakseen synnistä lyhytaikaista nautintoa, ²⁶ katsoen "Kristuksen pilkan" suuremmaksi rikkaudeksi kuin Egyptin aarteet; sillä hän käänsi katseensa palkintoa kohti. ²⁷ Uskon kautta hän jätti Egyptin pelkäämättä kuninkaan vihaa; sillä koska hän ikäänkuin näki sen, joka on näkymätön, niin hän kesti. ²⁸ Uskon kautta hän pani toimeen pääsiäisenvieton ja verensivelyn, ettei esikoisten surmaaja koskisi heihin. ²⁹ Uskon kautta he kulkivat poikki Punaisen meren ikäänkuin kuivalla maalla; jota yrittäessään egyptiläiset hukkuivat. ³⁰ Uskon kautta kaatuivat Jerikon muurit, sittenkuin niiden ympäri oli kuljettu seitsemän päivää. ³¹ Uskon kautta pelastui portto Raahab joutumasta perikatoon yhdessä uppiniskaisten kanssa, kun oli, rauha mielessään, ottanut vakoojat luoksensa. ³² Ja mitä minä vielä sanoisin? Sillä minulta loppuisi aika, jos kertoisin Gideonista, Baarakista, Simsonista, Jeftasta, Daavidista ja Samuelista ja profeetoista, ³³ jotka uskon kautta kukistivat valtakuntia, pitivät vanhurskautta voimassa, saivat kokea lupauksien toteutumista, tukkivat jalopeurain kidat, ³⁴ sammuttivat tulen voiman, pääsivät miekanteriä pakoon, voimistuivat heikkoudesta, tulivat väkeviksi sodassa, ajoivat pakoon muukalaisten sotajoukot. ³⁵ On ollut vaimoja, jotka ylösnousemuksen kautta ovat saaneet kuolleensa takaisin. Toiset ovat antaneet kiduttaa itseään eivätkä ole ottaneet vastaan vapautusta, että saisivat paremman ylösnousemuksen; ³⁶ toiset taas ovat saaneet kokea pilkkaa ja ruoskimista, vieläpä kahleita ja vankeutta; ³⁷ heitä on kivitetty, kiusattu, rikki sahattu, miekalla surmattu; he ovat kierrelleet ympäri lampaannahoissa ja vuohennahoissa, puutteenalaisina, ahdistettuina, pahoinpideltyinä- ³⁸ he, jotka olivat liian hyviä tälle maailmalle-;he ovat harhailleet erämaissa ja vuorilla ja luolissa ja maakuopissa. ³⁹ Ja vaikka nämä kaikki uskon kautta olivat todistuksen saaneet, eivät he kuitenkaan saavuttaneet sitä, mikä oli luvattu; ⁴⁰ sillä Jumala oli varannut meitä varten jotakin parempaa, etteivät he ilman meitä pääsisi täydellisyyteen.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Se paske Abèl te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te ofri bay Bondye yon ofrann bèt ki pi bon pase pa Kayen an. Paske li te gen konfyans, Bondye asepte l' pou yon moun ki dwat. Se konsa Bondye te asepte kado li te fè l' la. Se paske li te gen konfyans sa a kifè Abèl ap pale toujou jouk koulye a, atout li mouri. ⁵ Se paske Enòk te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li moute nan syèl la bò kot Bondye san li pa janm mouri; apre sa, pesonn pa janm wè kote l' ye ankò. Se Bondye menm ki te fè pran l' mennen l' bò kote li. Nou jwenn ekri nan Liv la ki jan Enòk te fè Bondye plezi lontan anvan Bondye te fè l' moute nan syèl la. ⁶ Nou konnen pesonn pa ka fè Bondye plezi si li pa gen konfyans nan Bondye. Moun ki vle pwoche bò kot Bondye, se pou yo kwè gen yon Bondye, yon Bondye k'ap rekonpanse tout moun k'ap chache li. ⁷ Se paske Noe te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè Bondye te fè l' konnen davans bagay ki tapral rive, bagay li menm Noe pa t' ankò kapab wè. Li koute Bondye, li bati yon gwo batiman. Se ladan batiman sa a li te jwenn delivrans ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Se konsa, li kondannen tout lòt moun yo. Men, Bondye te fè Noe gras paske Noe te gen konfyans sa a nan li. ⁸ Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te obeyi lè Bondye te rele l' la. Li pati pou peyi Bondye tapral ba li pou pòsyon eritaj pa li. Li leve, li kite peyi l' la, san l' pa t' konnen ki bò li taprale. ⁹ Paske li te gen konfyans nan Bondye, se anba tant twal li te rete. Li t'ap viv nan peyi Bondye te pwomèt li a tankou yon etranje ki depasaj. Se konsa Izarak ak Jakòb te fè tou, yo menm ki te resevwa menm pwomès la nan men Bondye. ¹⁰ Paske, Abraram menm t'ap tann lavil ki gen bon fonadasyon solid la. Se Bondye ki te fè plan lavil sa a, epi se li menm tou ki te bati li. ¹¹ Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè Bondye te ka fè l' fè pitit, atout li te fin depase laj pou sa, atout Sara pou tèt pa l' tou pa t' kapab fè pitit ankò. Li te sèten Bondye t'ap kenbe pwomès li. ¹² Se konsa, yon sèl nonm ki te tou fin mouri rive gen kantite pitit pitit moun pa ka konte: yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la, yo tankou grenn sab bò lanmè. ¹³ Tout moun sa yo mouri ak konfyans pou Bondye nan kè yo. Yo pa t' gen tan resevwa benediksyon Bondye te pwomèt yo, men yo wè benediksyon yo byen, lwen, yo salwe yo delwen. Yo tout te deklare se etranje depasaj sou latè yo ye, tankou moun yo depòte. ¹⁴ Lè yo t'ap pale konsa, yo te tou fè moun wè yo t'ap chache yon peyi ki peyi pa yo. ¹⁵ Si yo te regrèt latè apre yo te fin kite l', yo ta ka gen chans tounen ladan l' ankò. ¹⁶ Okontrè, yo te dèyè yon lòt peyi ki pi bon, sa vle di: peyi ki nan syèl la. Se poutèt sa, Bondye pa wont di se Bondye yo li ye, paske l'ap pare yon lavil pou yo. ¹⁷ Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te asepte touye Izarak tankou yon ofrann bèt bay Bondye, lè Bondye te vle wè jouk ki bò konfyans li t'ap rive a. Abraram te tou pare pou l' te ofri bay Bondye sèl pitit gason Bondye te pwomèt li a. ¹⁸ Bondye te di l' konsa: Se Izarak ki pral ba ou anpil pitit pitit. ¹⁹ Men, Abraram te mete nan tèt li Bondye te gen pouvwa pou l' te fè Izarak leve vivan ankò soti nan lanmò. Se konsa, nan yon sans, nou ka di Izarak soti vivan nan lanmò, li tounen vin jwen papa l' ankò. ²⁰ Se paske Izarak te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè, lè li t'ap beni Jakòb ak Ezaou, li te pwomèt yo anpil benediksyon pou pita. ²¹ Se paske Jakòb te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te gen tan beni tout pitit Jozèf yo yonn apre lòt anvan l' mouri. Lèfini li apiye sou tèt baton li, li adore Bondye. ²² Se paske Jozèf te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè, lè li tapral mouri, li te fè pitit Izrayèl yo konnen yon jou yo te gen pou yo te kite peyi Lejip la. Se lè sa a tou li ba yo lòd sa pou yo fè ak zosman l' yo. ²³ Se paske papa ak manman Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè yo te rive sere l' pandan twa mwa apre li te fin fèt. Yo te wè jan li te yon bèl ti pitit, yo pa t' pè dezobeyi lòd wa a te bay la. ²⁴ Se paske Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè, lè li vin gran, li te refize pote non pitit fi farawon an. ²⁵ Li te pito kite yo maltrete li ansanm ak pèp Bondye a, pase pou l' te asepte pran plezi l' nan peche pou yon ti tan. ²⁶ Tankou moun Bondye te chwazi pou voye a, li te konsidere li te pi rich lè yo t'ap pase l' nan betiz pase si l' te gen tout richès ki nan peyi Lejip la. Tou sa, paske je l' te fikse sou rekonpans Bondye t'ap pare pou li a. ²⁷ Se paske Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te kouri kite peyi Lejip, san l' pa t' pè kòlè wa a. Li pa t' chanje lide menm, tankou si l' te wè Bondye moun pa ka wè a. ²⁸ Se paske Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te fete fèt Delivrans lan, li bay lòd make pòt kay yo ak san an pou zanj Bondye a pa t' touye premye pitit gason pèp Izrayèl yo. ²⁹ Se paske pitit Izrayèl yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè yo te kapab pase nan mitan lanmè Wouj la tankou si yo t'ap mache sou tè sèk. Men, lè moun peyi Lejip yo vin seye fè menm bagay tou, lanmè a kouvri yo. ³⁰ Se paske pitit Izrayèl yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè miray lavil Jeriko a te tonbe, apre pèp la te fin pase sèt jou ap fè wonn lavil la. ³¹ Se paske Rarab, fanm movèz vi a, te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li pa t' mouri ansanm avèk moun ki te desobeyi Bondye yo. Paske, li menm li te byen resevwa espyon pèp Izrayèl yo lakay li. ³² Kisa m' ta di nou ankò? Se tan mwen pa genyen pou m' ta pale nou sou Gedeyon, Barak, Samson, Jefte, David, Samyèl ak tout pwofèt yo. ³³ Ak konfyans yo te gen nan Bondye a, yo goumen, yo pran peyi lòt moun nan men yo, yo gouvènen san patipri, yo resevwa sekou Bondye te pwomèt la. Yo fèmen bouch lyon yo, ³⁴ yo touye gwo gwo dife, yo chape anba men moun ki te vle touye yo ak nepe. Yo te fèb, men yo vin gen fòs, sa te rann yo vanyan anpil nan lagè, kifè yo te ka kraze lame etranje yo. ³⁵ Ak konfyans yo te gen nan Bondye a, anpil fanm wè moun pa yo ki te mouri tounen leve vivan ankò. Gen ladan yo yo matirize jouk yo mouri. Yo refize asepte okenn moun vin delivre yo, pou yo te ka leve soti nan lanmò, antre nan yon lavi ki pi bon. ³⁶ Gen lòt ladan yo moun pase anba betiz, yo bat yo byen bat. Gen lòt ankò yo mare yo ak chenn, yo jete yo nan prizon. ³⁷ Yo touye yo anba kout wòch, yo siye yo fè de moso, yo touye yo ak nepe. Se kouri yo t'ap kouri soti yon kote al nan yon lòt tèlman moun t'ap pèsekite yo, tèlman yo t'ap maltrete yo. Se po mouton ak po kabrit yo pran sèvi rad tèlman yo te pòv. ³⁸ Moun konsa, latè pa t' bon ase pou yo. Yo t'ap kouri moute kouri desann nan dezè yo, nan mòn yo. Yo t'ap viv nan twou wòch ak nan twou tè. ³⁹ Tout moun sa yo, Bondye te dakò ak yo paske yo te gen konfyans nan li. Men, atousa, yo pa t' resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt la. ⁴⁰ Bondye te sere yon pi bon bagay ankò pou nou. Li pa t' vle pou moun sa yo te rive bon nèt kite nou dèyè. Sèl jan pou moun sa yo te ka rive bon nèt, se ansanm ak nou.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Hit által vitt Ábel becsesebb áldozatot Istennek, mint Kain, a mi által bizonyságot nyert a felõl, hogy igaz, bizonyságot tevén az õ ajándékairól Isten, és az által még holta után is beszél. ⁵ Hit által vitetett fel Énokh, hogy ne lásson halált, és nem találták meg, mert az Isten felvitte õt. Mert felvitetése elõtt bizonyságot nyert a felõl, hogy kedves volt Istennek. ⁶ Hit nélkül pedig lehetetlen Istennek tetszeni; mert a ki Isten elé járul, hinnie kell, hogy õ létezik és megjutalmazza azokat, a kik õt keresik. ⁷ Hit által tisztelte Istent Noé, mikor megintetvén a még nem látott dolgok felõl, házanépe megtartására bárkát készített, a mely által kárhoztatá e világot és a hitbõl való igazságnak örökösévé lett. ⁸ Hit által engedelmeskedett Ábrahám, mikor elhívatott, hogy menjen ki arra a helyre, a melyet örökölendõ vala, és kiméne, nem tudván, hová megy. ⁹ Hit által lakott az ígéret földén, mint idegenben, sátorokban lakván Izsákkal és Jákóbbal, ugyanazon ígéretnek örökös társaival. ¹⁰ Mert várja vala az alapokkal bíró várost, melynek építõje és alkotója az Isten. ¹¹ Hit által nyert erõt Sára is az õ méhében való foganásra, és életkora ellenére szûlt, minthogy hûnek tartotta azt, a ki az ígéretet tette. ¹² Azért is egytõl, még pedig mintegy kihalttól annyian származtak, mint az égnek csillagai sokaságra nézve, és mint a tenger partja mellett a fövény, mely megszámlálhatatlan. ¹³ Hitben haltak meg mindezek, nem nyerve meg az ígéreteket, hanem [csak] távolról látva és üdvözölve azokat, és vallást tevén arról, hogy idegenek és vándorok a földön. ¹⁴ Mert a kik így szólnak, nyilván jelentik, hogy hazát keresnek. ¹⁵ És hogyha eszökbe jutott volna az, a melybõl kijöttek, volt volna idejök a visszatérésre. ¹⁶ Így azonban jobb után vágyódnak, tudniillik mennyei után; azért nem szégyenli õket az Isten, hogy Istenöknek neveztessék, mert készített nékik várost. ¹⁷ Hit által áldozta meg Ábrahám Izsákot, próbára tétetvén, és az egyszülöttet vitte áldozatul, õ, ki az ígéreteket nyerte, ¹⁸ A kinek meg volt mondva: Izsákban neveztetik néked mag; ¹⁹ Úgy gondolkozván, hogy az Isten a halálból is képes feltámasztani, miért is õt példaképen visszanyerte. ²⁰ Hit által áldá meg a jövendõkre nézve Izsák Jákóbot és Ézsaut. ²¹ Hit által áldá meg a haldokló Jákób a József fiainak mindenikét, és botja végére hajolva imádkozott. ²² Hit által emlékezett meg élete végén József az Izráel fiainak kimenetelérõl, és az õ tetemeirõl rendelkezett. ²³ Hit által rejtegették Mózest az õ szülei születése után három hónapig, mivel látták, hogy kellemes a gyermek, és nem féltek a király parancsától. ²⁴ Hit által tiltakozott Mózes, midõn felnövekedett, hogy a Faraó leánya fiának mondják, ²⁵ Inkább választván az Isten népével való együttnyomorgást, mint a bûnnek ideig-óráig való gyönyörûségét; ²⁶ Égyiptom kincseinél nagyobb gazdagságnak tartván Krisztus gyalázatát, mert a megjutalmazásra tekintett. ²⁷ Hit által hagyta oda Égyiptomot, nem félvén a király haragjától; mert erõs szívû volt, mintha látta volna a láthatatlant. ²⁸ Hit által rendelte a páskát és a vérnek kiontását, hogy az öldöklõ ne illesse az õ elsõszülötteiket. ²⁹ Hit által keltek át a veres tengeren, mint valami szárazföldön, a mit megpróbálván az égyiptomiak, elnyelettek. ³⁰ Hit által omlottak le Jérikónak kõfalai, midõn hét napig köröskörül járták. ³¹ Hit által nem veszett el Ráháb, a parázna nõ az engedetlenekkel együtt, befogadván a kémeket békességgel. ³² És mit mondjak még? Hiszen kifogynék az idõbõl, ha szólnék Gedeonról, Bárákról, Sámsonról, Jeftérõl, Dávidról, Sámuelrõl és a prófétákról; ³³ A kik hit által országokat gyõztek le, igazságot cselekedtek, az ígéreteket elnyerték, az oroszlánok száját betömték. ³⁴ Megoltották a tûznek erejét, megmenekedtek a kard élitõl, felerõsödtek a betegségbõl, erõsek lettek a háborúban, megszalasztották az idegenek táborait. ³⁵ Asszonyok feltámadás útján visszanyerték halottjaikat; mások kínpadra vonattak, visszautasítván a szabadulást, hogy becsesebb feltámadásban részesüljenek. ³⁶ Mások pedig megcsúfoltatások és megostoroztatások próbáját állották ki, sõt még bilincseket és börtönt is; ³⁷ Megköveztettek, kínpróbát szenvedtek, szétfûrészeltettek, kardra hányattak, juhoknak és kecskéknek bõrében bujdostak, nélkülözve, nyomorgattatva, gyötörtetve, ³⁸ A kikre nem volt méltó e világ, bujdosva pusztákon és hegyeken, meg barlangokban és a földnek hasadékaiban. ³⁹ És mindezek, noha hit által jó bizonyságot nyertek, nem kapták meg az ígéretet. ⁴⁰ Mivel Isten mi felõlünk valami jobbról gondoskodott, hogy nálunk nélkül tökéletességre ne jussanak.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Karena beriman, maka Habel mempersembahkan kepada Allah kurban yang lebih baik daripada kurban Kain. Karena imannya itu, Habel diterima oleh Allah sebagai orang yang baik, sebab nyatalah bahwa Allah menerima persembahannya. Habel sudah meninggal, tetapi karena imannya itu, maka ia masih berbicara sampai sekarang. ⁵ Karena beriman, maka Henokh tidak mati, melainkan diangkat dan dibawa kepada Allah. Tidak seorang pun dapat menemukan dia, sebab dia sudah diangkat oleh Allah. Dalam Alkitab tertulis bahwa sebelum Henokh diangkat, ia menyenangkan hati Allah. ⁶ Tanpa beriman, tidak seorang pun dapat menyenangkan hati Allah. Sebab orang yang datang kepada Allah harus percaya bahwa Allah ada, dan bahwa Allah memberi balasan kepada orang yang mencari-Nya. ⁷ Karena beriman, maka Nuh diberitahu oleh Allah tentang hal-hal yang akan terjadi kemudian, yang tidak dapat dilihat olehnya. Nuh mentaati Allah sehingga ia membuat sebuah kapal yang kemudian ternyata menyelamatkan dirinya bersama keluarganya. Dengan demikian dunia dihukum, sedangkan Nuh sendiri karena imannya dinyatakan oleh Allah sebagai orang yang baik. ⁸ Karena beriman, maka Abraham mentaati Allah ketika Allah memanggilnya dan menyuruhnya pergi ke negeri yang Allah janjikan kepadanya. Lalu Abraham berangkat dengan tidak tahu ke mana akan pergi. ⁹ Dengan beriman, Abraham tinggal sebagai orang asing di negeri yang dijanjikan Allah kepadanya itu. Abraham tinggal di situ di dalam kemah. Begitu pula Ishak dan Yakub, yang menerima janji yang sama dari Allah. ¹⁰ Sebab Abraham sedang menanti-nantikan kota yang direncanakan dan dibangun oleh Allah dengan pondasi yang kuat. ¹¹ Karena beriman, maka Abraham bisa mendapat keturunan dari Sara, sekalipun Abraham sudah terlalu tua, dan Sara sendiri mandul. Abraham yakin bahwa Allah akan menepati janji-Nya. ¹² Meskipun Abraham pada masa itu seperti orang yang sudah mati tubuhnya, namun ia memperoleh banyak keturunan, yang banyaknya tidak terhitung--seperti banyaknya bintang di langit dan pasir di tepi pantai. ¹³ Semua orang itu tetap beriman sampai mati. Mereka tidak menerima hal-hal yang dijanjikan oleh Allah, tetapi hanya melihat dan menyambutnya dari jauh. Dan dengan itu mereka menyatakan bahwa mereka hanyalah orang asing dan perantau di bumi ini. ¹⁴ Orang yang mengatakan demikian menunjukkan dengan jelas bahwa mereka sedang mencari negeri yang akan menjadi tanah air mereka. ¹⁵ Bukan negeri yang sudah mereka tinggalkan itu yang mereka pikir-pikirkan. Sebab kalau demikian, maka sudah banyak kesempatan bagi mereka untuk kembali ke negeri itu. ¹⁶ Tetapi nyatanya, mereka merindukan sebuah negeri yang lebih baik, yaitu negeri yang di surga. Itulah sebabnya Allah tidak malu kalau mereka menyebut Dia Allah mereka, sebab Allah sudah menyediakan sebuah kota untuk mereka. ¹⁷ Karena beriman juga, maka Abraham mempersembahkan Ishak sebagai kurban ketika ia diuji Allah. Kepada Abrahamlah Allah memberikan janji-Nya, namun Abraham rela menyerahkan anaknya yang satu-satunya itu. ¹⁸ Allah telah berkata kepada Abraham, "Melalui Ishak inilah engkau akan mendapat keturunan yang Aku janjikan kepadamu." ¹⁹ Abraham yakin bahwa Allah sanggup menghidupkan kembali Ishak dari kematian--jadi, boleh dikatakan, Abraham sudah menerima kembali Ishak dari kematian. ²⁰ Karena beriman, maka Ishak menjanjikan berkat-berkat kepada Yakub dan Esau untuk masa depan. ²¹ Karena beriman, maka sebelum Yakub meninggal, ia memberi berkatnya kepada anak-anak Yusuf--dengan bersandar pada kepala tongkatnya dan menyembah Allah. ²² Karena beriman, maka Yusuf--ketika hampir meninggal dunia--berbicara tentang keluarnya umat Israel dari Mesir, dan meninggalkan pesan tentang apa yang harus dilakukan terhadap jenazahnya. ²³ Karena beriman, maka orang tua Musa menyembunyikannya tiga bulan lamanya setelah kelahirannya. Mereka melihat bahwa ia seorang anak yang bagus, dan mereka tidak takut melawan perintah raja. ²⁴ Karena beriman, maka Musa sesudah besar, tidak mau disebut anak dari putri raja Mesir. ²⁵ Ia lebih suka menderita bersama-sama dengan umat Allah daripada untuk sementara waktu menikmati kesenangan dari hidup yang berdosa. ²⁶ Musa merasa bahwa jauh lebih berharga untuk mendapat penghinaan demi Raja Penyelamat yang dijanjikan Allah itu daripada mendapat segala harta negeri Mesir, sebab Musa mengharapkan upah di hari kemudian. ²⁷ Karena beriman, maka Musa meninggalkan Mesir tanpa merasa takut terhadap kemarahan raja. Musa maju menuju tujuannya seolah-olah ia sudah melihat Allah yang tidak kelihatan itu. ²⁸ Karena beriman, maka Musa mengadakan Paskah dan memerintahkan agar dipercikkan darah pada pintu rumah orang Israel supaya Malaikat Kematian jangan membunuh anak-anak sulung mereka. ²⁹ Karena beriman, maka orang-orang Israel dapat menyeberangi Laut Merah, seolah-olah mereka berjalan di atas tanah yang kering, sedangkan orang-orang Mesir ditelan oleh laut itu, ketika mereka mencoba menyeberang juga. ³⁰ Karena beriman, orang-orang Israel membuat tembok-tembok Yerikho runtuh setelah mereka mengelilinginya selama tujuh hari. ³¹ Karena beriman juga, maka Rahab, wanita pelacur itu, tidak turut terbunuh bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang melawan Allah; sebab ia menerima dengan ramah pengintai-pengintai Israel. ³² Nah, saya bisa saja terus-menerus berbicara, tetapi waktu tidak cukup untuk saya. Sebab saya belum lagi menyebut Gideon, Barak, Simson, Yefta, Daud, Samuel, dan nabi-nabi. ³³ Karena beriman, maka mereka sudah mengalahkan kerajaan-kerajaan. Mereka melakukan apa yang benar, sehingga menerima apa yang dijanjikan Allah. Mereka menutup mulut-mulut singa, ³⁴ memadamkan api yang hebat, terhindar dari tikaman pedang. Mereka lemah, tetapi menjadi kuat; mereka perkasa dalam peperangan sehingga mengalahkan pasukan-pasukan bangsa asing. ³⁵ Karena beriman, maka wanita-wanita mendapat kembali orang-orangnya yang telah mati. Ada pula yang rela disiksa sampai mati, dan menolak untuk dibebaskan, karena mau dihidupkan kembali bagi suatu kehidupan yang lebih baik. ³⁶ Ada yang diolok-olok, dicambuk, diikat dengan rantai dan yang dimasukkan ke dalam penjara. ³⁷ Mereka dilempari batu sampai mati, ada yang dipotong dengan gergaji, dan yang dibunuh dengan pedang. Mereka mengembara dengan pakaian dari kulit domba atau kulit kambing; mereka miskin, dianiaya dan disiksa. ³⁸ Dunia ini bukan tempat yang layak bagi mereka. Mereka mengembara di padang gurun dan di bukit-bukit, serta tinggal di dalam gua-gua dan dalam lubang-lubang tanah. ³⁹ Alangkah besarnya kemenangan yang dicapai oleh semua orang itu karena iman mereka! Namun mereka tidak menerima apa yang dijanjikan Allah, ⁴⁰ sebab Allah mempunyai rencana yang lebih baik untuk kita. Rencana-Nya ialah bahwa hanya bersama dengan kita, mereka akan menjadi sempurna.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Per fede Abele offerse a Dio sacrificio più eccellente che Caino; per la quale fu testimoniato ch’egli era giusto, rendendo Iddio testimonianza delle sue offerte; e per essa, dopo esser morto, parla ancora. ⁵ Per fede Enoc fu trasportato, per non veder la morte, e non fu trovato; perciocchè Iddio l’avea trasportato; poichè, avanti ch’egli fosse trasportato, fu di lui testimoniato ch’egli era piaciuto a Dio. ⁶ Ora, senza fede, è impossibile di piacergli; perciocchè colui che si accosta a Dio deve credere ch’egli è, e che egli è premiatore di coloro che lo ricercano. ⁷ Per fede Noè, ammonito per oracolo delle cose che non si vedevano ancora, avendo temuto, fabbricò, per la salvazione della sua famiglia, l’arca, per la quale egli condannò il mondo, e fu fatto erede della giustizia ch’è secondo la fede. ⁸ Per fede Abrahamo, essendo chiamato, ubbidì, per andarsene al luogo che egli avea da ricevere in eredità; e partì, non sapendo dove si andasse. ⁹ Per fede Abrahamo dimorò nel paese della promessa, come in paese strano, abitando in tende, con Isacco, e Giacobbe, coeredi della stessa promessa. ¹⁰ Perciocchè egli aspettava la città che ha i fondamenti, e il cui architetto e fabbricatore è Iddio. ¹¹ Per fede ancora Sara stessa, essendo sterile, ricevette forza da concepir seme, e partorì fuor d’età; perciocchè reputò fedele colui che avea fatta la promessa. ¹² Perciò ancora da uno, e quello già ammortato, son nati discendenti, in moltitudine come le stelle del cielo, e come le rena innumerabile che è lungo il lito del mare. ¹³ In fede son morti tutti costoro, non avendo ricevute le cose promesse; ma, avendole vedute di lontano, e credutele, e salutatele; ed avendo confessato ch’erano forestieri, e pellegrini sopra la terra. ¹⁴ Poichè coloro che dicono tali cose dimostrano che cercano una patria. ¹⁵ Che se pur si ricordavano di quella onde erano usciti, certo avean tempo da ritornarvi. ¹⁶ Ma ora ne desiderano una migliore, cioè, la celeste; perciò, Iddio non si vergogna di loro, d’esser chiamato lor Dio; poichè egli ha loro preparata una città. ¹⁷ Per fede Abrahamo, essendo provato, offerse Isacco; e colui che avea ricevute le promesse offerse il suo unigenito. ¹⁸ Egli, dico, a cui era stato detto: In Isacco ti sarà nominata progenie. ¹⁹ Avendo fatta ragione che Iddio era potente eziandio da suscitarlo da’ morti; onde ancora per similitudine lo ricoverò. ²⁰ Per fede Isacco benedisse Giacobbe ed Esaù, intorno a cose future. ²¹ Per fede Giacobbe, morendo, benedisse ciascuno de’ figliuoli di Giuseppe; e adorò, appoggiato sopra la sommità del suo bastone. ²² Per fede Giuseppe, trapassando, fece menzione dell’uscita de’ figliuoli d’Israele, e diede ordine intorno alle sue ossa. ²³ Per fede Mosè, essendo nato, fu nascosto da suo padre e da sua madre, lo spazio di tre mesi; perciocchè vedevano il fanciullo bello; e non temettero il comandamento del re. ²⁴ Per fede Mosè, essendo divenuto grande, rifiutò d’esser chiamato figliuolo della figliuola di Faraone; ²⁵ eleggendo innanzi d’essere afflitto col popol di Dio, che d’aver per un breve tempo godimento di peccato; ²⁶ avendo reputato il vituperio di Cristo ricchezza maggiore de’ tesori di Egitto; perciocchè egli riguardava alla rimunerazione. ²⁷ Per fede lasciò l’Egitto, non avendo temuta l’ira del re; perciocchè egli stette costante, come veggendo l’invisibile. ²⁸ Per fede fece la pasqua, e lo spruzzamento del sangue; acciocchè colui che distruggeva i primogeniti non toccasse gli Ebrei. ²⁹ Per fede passarono il Mar rosso, come per l’asciutto; il che tentando fare gli Egizi, furono abissati. ³⁰ Per fede caddero le mura di Gerico, essendo state circuite per sette giorni. ³¹ Per fede Raab, la meretrice, avendo accolte le spie in pace, non perì con gli increduli. ³² E che dirò io di più? poichè il tempo mi verrebbe meno, se imprendessi a raccontar di Gedeone, e di Barac, e di Sansone, e di Iefte, e di Davide, e di Samuele, e de’ profeti. ³³ I quali per fede vinsero regni, operarono giustizia, ottennero promesse, turarono le gole de’ leoni, ³⁴ spensero la forza del fuoco, scamparono i tagli delle spade, guarirono d’infermità, divennero forti in guerra, misero in fuga i campi degli stranieri. ³⁵ Le donne ricuperarono per risurrezione i lor morti; ed altri furon fatti morire di battiture, non avendo accettata la liberazione, per ottenere una migliore risurrezione. ³⁶ Altri ancora provarono scherni e flagelli; ed anche legami e prigione. ³⁷ Furon lapidati, furon segati, furon tentati; morirono uccisi con la spada, andarono attorno in pelli di pecore e di capre; bisognosi, afflitti, ³⁸ maltrattati de’ quali non era degno il mondo, erranti in deserti, e monti, e spelonche, e nelle grotte della terra. ³⁹ E pur tutti costoro, alla cui fede la scrittura rende testimonianza, non ottennero la promessa. ⁴⁰ Avendo Iddio provveduto qualche cosa di meglio per noi, acciocchè non pervenissero al compimento senza noi.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Per fede Abele offerse a Dio un sacrificio più eccellente di quello di Caino; per mezzo d’essa gli fu resa testimonianza ch’egli era giusto, quando Dio attestò di gradire le sue offerte; e per mezzo d’essa, benché morto, egli parla ancora. ⁵ Per fede Enoc fu trasportato perché non vedesse la morte; e non fu più trovato, perché Dio l’avea trasportato; poiché avanti che fosse trasportato fu di lui testimoniato ch’egli era piaciuto a Dio. ⁶ Or senza fede è impossibile piacergli; poiché chi s’accosta a Dio deve credere ch’Egli è, e che è il rimuneratore di quelli che lo cercano. ⁷ Per fede Noè, divinamente avvertito di cose che non si vedevano ancora, mosso da pio timore, preparò un’arca per la salvezza della propria famiglia; e per essa fede condannò il mondo e fu fatto erede della giustizia che si ha mediante la fede. ⁸ Per fede Abramo, essendo chiamato, ubbidì, per andarsene in un luogo ch’egli avea da ricevere in eredità; e partì senza sapere dove andava. ⁹ Per fede soggiornò nella terra promessa, come in terra straniera, abitando in tende con Isacco e Giacobbe, eredi con lui della stessa promessa, ¹⁰ perché aspettava la città che ha i veri fondamenti e il cui architetto e costruttore è Dio. ¹¹ Per fede Sara anch’ella, benché fuori d’età, ricevette forza di concepire, perché reputò fedele Colui che avea fatto la promessa. ¹² E perciò, da uno solo, e già svigorito, è nata una discendenza numerosa come le stelle del cielo, come la rena lungo la riva del mare che non si può contare. ¹³ In fede moriron tutti costoro, senz’aver ricevuto le cose promesse, ma avendole vedute e salutate da lontano, e avendo confessato che erano forestieri e pellegrini sulla terra. ¹⁴ Poiché quelli che dicon tali cose dimostrano che cercano una patria. ¹⁵ E se pur si ricordavano di quella ond’erano usciti, certo avean tempo di ritornarvi. ¹⁶ Ma ora ne desiderano una migliore, cioè una celeste; perciò Iddio non si vergogna d’esser chiamato il loro Dio, poiché ha preparato loro una città. ¹⁷ Per fede Abramo, quando fu provato, offerse Isacco; ed egli, che avea ricevuto le promesse, offerse il suo unigenito: egli, a cui era stato detto: ¹⁸ E’ in Isacco che ti sarà chiamata una progenie, ¹⁹ ritenendo che Dio è potente anche da far risuscitare dai morti; ond’è che lo riebbe per una specie di risurrezione. ²⁰ Per fede Isacco diede a Giacobbe e ad Esaù una benedizione concernente cose future. ²¹ Per fede Giacobbe, morente, benedisse ciascuno dei figliuoli di Giuseppe, e adorò appoggiato in cima al suo bastone. ²² Per fede Giuseppe, quando stava per morire, fece menzione dell’esodo de’ figliuoli d’Israele, e diede ordini intorno alle sue ossa. ²³ Per fede Mosè, quando nacque, fu tenuto nascosto per tre mesi dai suoi genitori, perché vedevano che il bambino era bello; e non temettero il comandamento del re. ²⁴ Per fede Mosè, divenuto grande, rifiutò d’esser chiamato figliuolo della figliuola di Faraone, ²⁵ scegliendo piuttosto d’esser maltrattato col popolo di Dio, che di godere per breve tempo i piaceri del peccato; ²⁶ stimando egli il vituperio di Cristo ricchezza maggiore de’ tesori d’Egitto, perché riguardava alla rimunerazione. ²⁷ Per fede abbandonò l’Egitto, non temendo l’ira del re, perché stette costante, come vedendo Colui che è invisibile. ²⁸ Per fede celebrò la Pasqua e fece lo spruzzamento del sangue affinché lo sterminatore dei primogeniti non toccasse quelli degli Israeliti. ²⁹ Per fede passarono il Mar Rosso come per l’asciutto; il che tentando fare gli Egizi, furono inabissati. ³⁰ Per fede caddero le mura di Gerico, dopo essere state circuite per sette giorni. ³¹ Per fede Raab, la meretrice, non perì coi disubbidienti, avendo accolto le spie in pace. ³² E che dirò di più? poiché il tempo mi verrebbe meno se narrassi di Gedeone, di Barac, di Sansone, di Jefte, di Davide, di Samuele e dei profeti, ³³ i quali per fede vinsero regni, operarono giustizia, ottennero adempimento di promesse, turaron le gole di leoni, ³⁴ spensero la violenza del fuoco, scamparono al taglio della spada, guarirono da infermità, divennero forti in guerra, misero in fuga eserciti stranieri. ³⁵ Le donne ricuperarono per risurrezione i loro morti; e altri furon martirizzati non avendo accettata la loro liberazione affin di ottenere una risurrezione migliore; ³⁶ altri patirono scherni e flagelli, e anche catene e prigione. ³⁷ Furon lapidati, furon segati, furono uccisi di spada; andarono attorno coperti di pelli di pecora e di capra; bisognosi, afflitti, ³⁸ maltrattati (di loro il mondo non era degno), vaganti per deserti e monti e spelonche e per le grotte della terra. ³⁹ E tutti costoro, pur avendo avuto buona testimonianza per la loro fede, non ottennero quello ch’era stato promesso, ⁴⁰ perché Iddio aveva in vista per noi qualcosa di meglio, ond’essi non giungessero alla perfezione senza di noi.

Japanese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 信仰に由りてアベルはカインよりも勝れる犧牲を神に献げ、之によりて正しと證せられたり。神その供物につきて證し給へばなり。彼は死ぬれども、信仰によりて今なほ語る。 ⁵ 信仰に由りてエノクは死を見ぬように移されたり。神これを移し給ひたれば見出されざりき。その移さるる前に神に喜ばるることを證せられたり。 ⁶ 信仰なくしては神に悦ばるること能はず、そは神に來る者は、神の在すことと神の己を求むる者に報い給ふこととを、必ず信ずべければなり。 ⁷ 信仰に由りてノアは、未だ見ざる事につきて御告を蒙り、畏みてその家の者を救はん爲に方舟を造り、かつ之によりて世の罪を定め、また信仰に由る義の世嗣となれり。 ⁸ 信仰に由りてアブラハムは召されしとき嗣業として受くべき地に出で往けとの命に遵ひ、その往く所を知らずして出で往けり。 ⁹ 信仰により異國に在るごとく約束の地に寓り、同じ約束を嗣ぐべきイサクとヤコブと共に幕屋に住めり、 ¹⁰ これ神の營み造りたまふ基礎ある都を望めばなり。 ¹¹ 信仰に由りてサラも約束したまふ者の忠實なるを思ひし故に、年邁ぎたれど胤をやどす力を受けたり。 ¹² この故に死にたる者のごとき一人より天の星のごとく、また海邊の數へがたき砂のごとく夥多しく生れ出でたり。 ¹³ 彼等はみな信仰を懷きて死にたり、未だ約束の物を受けざりしが、遙にこれを見て迎へ、地にては旅人また寓れる者なるを言ひあらはせり。 ¹⁴ 斯く言ふは、己が故郷を求むることを表すなり。 ¹⁵ 若しその出でし處を念はば、歸るべき機ありしなるべし。 ¹⁶ されど彼らの慕ふ所は天にある更に勝りたる所なり。この故に神は彼らの神と稱へらるるを恥とし給はず、そは彼等のために都を備へ給へばなり。 ¹⁷ 信仰に由りてアブラハムは試みられし時イサクを献げたり、彼は約束を喜び受けし者なるに、その獨子を献げたり。 ¹⁸ 彼に對しては『イサクより出づる者なんぢの裔と稱へらるべし』と云ひ給ひしなり。 ¹⁹ かれ思へらく、神は死人の中より之を甦へらすることを得給ふと、乃ち死より之を受けしが如くなりき。 ²⁰ 信仰に由りてイサクは來らんとする事につきヤコブとエサウとを祝福せり。 ²¹ 信仰に由りてヤコブは死ぬる時ヨセフの子等をおのおの祝福し、その杖の頭によりて禮拜せり。 ²² 信仰に由りてヨセフは生命の終らんとする時、イスラエルの子らの出で立つことに就きて語り、又おのが骨のことを命じたり。 ²³ 信仰に由りて兩親はモーセの生れたる時、その美しき子なるを見て、王の命をも畏れずして三月の間これを匿したり。 ²⁴ 信仰に由りてモーセは人と成りしときパロの女の子と稱へらるるを否み、 ²⁵ 罪のはかなき歡樂を受けんよりは、寧ろ神の民とともに苦しまんことを善しとし、 ²⁶ キリストに因る謗はエジプトの財寶にまさる大なる富と思へり、これ報を望めばなり。 ²⁷ 信仰に由りて彼は王の憤恚を畏れずしてエジプトを去れり。これ見えざる者を見るがごとく耐ふる事をすればなり。 ²⁸ 信仰に由りて彼は過越と血を灑ぐこととを行へり、これ初子を滅す者の彼らに觸れざらん爲なり。 ²⁹ 信仰に由りてイスラエル人は紅海を乾ける地のごとく渡りしが、エジプト人は然せんと試みて溺れ死にたり。 ³⁰ 信仰に由りて七日のあいだ廻りたればエリコの石垣は崩れたり。 ³¹ 信仰に由りて遊女ラハブは平和をもて間者を接けたれば、不從順の者とともに亡びざりき。 ³² この外なにを言ふべきか、ギデオン、バラク、サムソン、エフタ、またダビデ、サムエル及び預言者たちに就きて語らば、時足らざるべし。 ³³ 彼らは信仰によりて國々を服へ、義をおこなひ、約束のものを得、獅子の口をふさぎ、 ³⁴ 火の勢力を消し、劍の刃をのがれ、弱よりして強くせられ、戰爭に勇ましくなり、異國人の軍勢を退かせたり。 ³⁵ 女は死にたる者の復活を得、ある人は更に勝りたる復活を得んために、免さるることを願はずして極刑を甘んじたり。 ³⁶ その他の者は嘲笑と鞭と、また縲絏と牢獄との試錬を受け、 ³⁷ 或者は石にて撃たれ、試みられ、鐵鋸にて挽かれ、劍にて殺され、羊・山羊の皮を纏ひて經あるき、乏しくなり、惱され、苦しめられ、 ³⁸ （世は彼らを置くに堪へず）荒野と山と洞と地の穴とに徨へり。 ³⁹ 彼等はみな信仰に由りて證せられたれども約束のものを得ざりき。 ⁴⁰ これ神は我らの爲に勝りたるものを備へ給ひし故に、彼らも我らと偕ならざれば、全うせらるる事なきなり。

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ 믿음으로 아벨은 가인보다 더 나은 제사를 하나님께 드림으로 의로운 자라 하시는 증거를 얻었으니 하나님이 그 예물에 대하여 증거하심이라 저가 죽었으나 그 믿음으로써 오히려 말하느니라 ⁵ 믿음으로 에녹은 죽음을 보지 않고 옮기웠으니 하나님이 저를 옮기심으로 다시 보이지 아니하니라 저는 옮기우기 전에 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는 자라 하는 증거를 받았느니라 ⁶ 믿음이 없이는 기쁘시게 못하나니 하나님께 나아가는 자는 반드시 그가 계신 것과 또한 그가 자기를 찾는 자들에게 상 주시는 이심을 믿어야 할지니라 ⁷ 믿음으로 노아는 아직 보지 못하는 일에 경고하심을 받아 경외함으로 방주를 예비하여 그 집을 구원하였으니 이로 말미암아 세상을 정죄하고 믿음을 좇는 의의 후사가 되었느니라 ⁸ 믿음으로 아브라함은 부르심을 받았을 때에 순종하여 장래 기업으로 받을 땅에 나갈새 갈 바를 알지 못하고 나갔으며 ⁹ 믿음으로 저가 외방에 있는 것같이 약속하신 땅에 우거하여 동일한 약속을 유업으로 함께 받은 이삭과 야곱으로 더불어 장막에 거하였으니 ¹⁰ 이는 하나님의 경영하시고 지으실 터가 있는 성을 바랐음이니라 ¹¹ 믿음으로 사라 자신도 나이 늙어 단산하였으나 잉태하는 힘을 얻었으니 이는 약속하신 이를 미쁘신 줄 앎이라 ¹² 이러므로 죽은 자와 방불한 한 사람으로 말미암아 하늘에 허다한 별과 또 해변의 무수한 모래와 같이 많이 생육하였느니라 ¹³ 이 사람들은 다 믿음을 따라 죽었으며 약속을 받지 못하였으되 그것들을 멀리서 보고 환영하며 또 땅에서는 외국인과 나그네로라 증거하였으니 ¹⁴ 이같이 말하는 자들은 본향 찾는 것을 나타냄이라 ¹⁵ 저희가 나온 바 본향을 생각하였더면 돌아갈 기회가 있었으려니와 ¹⁶ 저희가 이제는 더 나은 본향을 사모하니 곧 하늘에 있는 것이라 그러므로 하나님이 저희 하나님이라 일컬음 받으심을 부끄러워 아니하시고 저희를 위하여 한 성을 예비하셨느니라 ¹⁷ 아브라함은 시험을 받을 때에 믿음으로 이삭을 드렸으니 저는 약속을 받은 자로되 그 독생자를 드렸느니라 ¹⁸ 저에게 이미 말씀하시기를 네 자손이라 칭할 자는 이삭으로 말미암으리라 하셨으니 ¹⁹ 저가 하나님이 능히 죽은 자 가운데서 다시 살리실 줄로 생각한 지라 비유컨대 죽은 자 가운데서 도로 받은 것이니라 ²⁰ 믿음으로 이삭은 장차 오는 일에 대하여 야곱과 에서에게 축복하였으며 ²¹ 믿음으로 야곱은 죽을 때에 요셉의 각 아들에게 축복하고 그 지팡이 머리에 의지하여 경배하였으며 ²² 믿음으로 요셉은 임종시에 이스라엘 자손들의 떠날 것을 말하고 또 자기 해골을 위하여 명하였으며 ²³ 믿음으로 모세가 났을 때에 그 부모가 아름다운 아이임을 보고 석 달 동안 숨겨 임금의 명령을 무서워 아니하였으며 ²⁴ 믿음으로 모세는 장성하여 바로의 공주의 아들이라 칭함을 거절하고 ²⁵ 도리어 하나님의 백성과 함께 고난받기를 잠시 죄악의 낙을 누리는 것보다 더 좋아하고 ²⁶ 그리스도를 위하여 받는 능욕을 애굽의 모든 보화보다 더 큰 재물로 여겼으니 이는 상 주심을 바라봄이라 ²⁷ 믿음으로 애굽을 떠나 임금의 노함을 무서워 아니하고 곧 보이지 아니하는 자를 보는 것같이 하여 참았으며 ²⁸ 믿음으로 유월절과 피 뿌리는 예를 정하였으니 이는 장자를 멸하는 자로 저희를 건드리지 않게 하려 한 것이며 ²⁹ 믿음으로 저희가 홍해를 육지같이 건넜으나 애굽 사람들은 이것을 시험하다가 빠져 죽었으며 ³⁰ 믿음으로 칠 일 동안 여리고를 두루 다니매 성이 무너졌으며 ³¹ 믿음으로 기생 라합은 정탐군을 평안히 영접하였으므로 순종치 아니한 자와 함께 멸망치 아니하였도다 ³² 내가 무슨 말을 더 하리요 기드온, 바락, 삼손, 입다와 다윗과 사무엘과 및 선지자들의 일을 말하려면 내게 시간이 부족하리로다 ³³ 저희가 믿음으로 나라들을 이기기도 하며 의를 행하기도 하며 약속을 받기도 하며 사자들의 입을 막기도 하며 ³⁴ 불의 세력을 멸하기도 하며 칼날을 피하기도 하며 연약한 가운데서 강하게 되기도 하며 전쟁에 용맹되어 이방 사람들의 진을 물리치기도 하며 ³⁵ 여자들은 자기의 죽은 자를 부활로 받기도 하며 또 어떤 이들은 더 좋은 부활을 얻고자 하여 악형을 받되 구차히 면하지 아니하였으며 ³⁶ 또 어떤 이들은 희롱과 채찍질 뿐 아니라 결박과 옥에 갇히는 시험도 받았으며 ³⁷ 돌로 치는 것과 톱으로 켜는 것과 시험과 칼에 죽는 것을 당하고 양과 염소의 가죽을 입고 유리하여 궁핍과 환난과 학대를 받았으니 ³⁸ (이런 사람은 세상이 감당치 못하도다) 저희가 광야와 산중과 암혈과 토굴에 유리하였느니라 ³⁹ 이 사람들이 다 믿음으로 말미암아 증거를 받았으나 약속을 받지 못하였으니 ⁴⁰ 이는 하나님이 우리를 위하여 더 좋은 것을 예비하셨은즉 우리가 아니면 저희로 온전함을 이루지 못하게 하려 하심이니라

Latvian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Ticības dēļ Ābels nesa Dievam labāku upuri nekā Kains; tās dēļ viņš saņēma liecību, ka viņš taisnīgs, jo Dievs liecinājis par viņa dāvanām: un tanī viņš, lai gan jau miris, vēl joprojām runā. ⁵ Ticības dēļ Henohs tika paņemts, lai viņš nāves neredzētu, un viņu vairs neatrada, jo Dievs viņu paņēma. Pirms paņemšanas par viņu liecināts, ka viņš Dievam bijis patīkams. ⁶ Bet bez ticības nav iespējams Dievam patikt. Jo tam, kas Dievam tuvojas, jātic, ka Viņš ir, un ka Viņš atalgos tos, kas Viņu meklē. ⁷ Saņēmis aizrādījumu par to, kas vēl nebija redzams, Noass ticībā rūpīgi taisīja šķirstu sava nama glābšanai. Tās dēļ viņš nosodīja pasauli un kļuva taisnības mantinieks, kas nāk no ticības. ⁸ Ticībā paklausīja tas, ka saucas Ābrahams, un gāja uz to vietu, ko viņam nācās saņemt mantojumā. Viņš gāja, nezinādams, kur aizies. ⁹ Ticības dēļ viņš apmetās apsolītajā zemē kā svešinieks un dzīvoja teltīs kopā ar Īzāku un Jēkabu, tā paša apsolījuma līdzmantiniekiem; ¹⁰ Jo viņš gaidīja pilsētu ar stipriem pamatiem, kuras cēlājs un nodibinātājs ir Dievs. ¹¹ Ticībā arī neauglīgā Sāra neraugoties uz vecumu, saņēma spēku kļūt māte, jo ticēja, ka Tas, kas solīja, ir uzticams. ¹² Tāpēc arī no viena (turklāt neauglīga) dzimuši tik daudzi kā debesu zvaigznes un kā neskaitāmas smiltis jūrmalā. ¹³ Tie visi nomira ticībā, apsolīto nesaņēmuši; bet no tālienes tie Viņu redzēja un sveica, apliecinādami, ka viņi virs zemes ir ceļotāji un viesi. ¹⁴ Tā runājot, tie aizrādīja, ka viņi meklē tēviju. ¹⁵ Bet ja viņi būtu domājuši par to, no kurienes bija izgājuši, tad viņiem vēl bija laiks atgriezties. ¹⁶ Bet tagad tie tiecas pēc labākas, tas ir, debesu. Tāpēc arī Dievs nekautrējas saukties par viņu Dievu, jo Viņš tiem sagatavoja pilsētu. ¹⁷ Ticībā Ābrahams, kad tika pārbaudīts, nesa upurī vienīgo dēlu Īzāku. Viņš arī saņēma apsolījumus, ¹⁸ Jo viņam tika sacīts: No Īzāka tev būs pēcnācēji. (1.Moz.21,12) ¹⁹ Tad viņš domāja, ka Dievs spēj uzmodināt arī mirušos; tāpēc viņš to saņēma atpakaļ kā piemēru. ²⁰ Ticībā Īzāks svētīja nākotnei Jēkabu un Ezavu. ²¹ Ticībā Jēkabs mirdams svētīja ikkatru Jāzepa dēlu un pielūdza Dievu, noliekdamies pār sava zižļa galu. ²² Ticībā Jāzeps mirdams atgādināja par Izraēļa bērnu aizceļošanu un deva norādījumus par saviem kauliem. ²³ Ticībā vecāki slēpa Mozu pēc dzimšanas trīs mēnešus, jo redzēja, ka bērns ir skaists, un viņi nebijās ķēniņa pavēles. ²⁴ Ticības dēļ Mozus, uzaudzis liels, noliedza, ka viņš būtu faraona meitas dēls, ²⁵ Labāk izvēlēdamies ar Dieva tautu ciest apspiešanu, nekā no grēka smelt īslaicīgu baudu. ²⁶ Kristus pazemošanu viņš turēja par lielāku bagātību nekā Ēģiptes mantas, jo viņš skatījās uz atmaksu. ²⁷ Ticības dēļ viņš atstāja Ēģipti, nebīdamies no ķēniņa dusmām, jo, it kā neredzamo redzēdams, viņš izturēja. ²⁸ Ticības dēļ viņš svinēja pashu un apslacīšanu asinīm, lai pirmdzimušo postītājs tos neaiztiktu. ²⁹ Ticībā tie pārgāja Sarkano jūru kā sauszemi. Ēģiptieši to mēģināja, bet noslīka. (2 Moz 14,22) ³⁰ Ticībā, septiņas dienas apkārt ejot, sabruka Jērikas mūri. ³¹ Ticības dēļ netikle Rahaba, miermīlīgi uzņemdama izlūkus, negāja bojā līdz ar neticīgajiem. ³² Un ko vēl lai saku? Man pietrūkst laika stāstīt par Gideonu, Baraku, Samsonu, Jefti, Dāvidu, Samuēlu un praviešiem, ³³ Kas, pateicoties ticībai, uzvarēja valstis, darīja taisnīgus darbus, saņēma apsolījumus, aizdarīja lauvu mutes. ³⁴ Nodzēsa uguns spēku, izbēga zobens asmenim, pārvarēja slimības, bija stipri karā, uzvarēja svešu karaspēku; ³⁵ Sievietes atguva savus mirušos, uzmodinātus no miroņiem; bet citi, nodoti mokām, nepieņēma atbrīvošanu, lai iemantotu labāku augšāmcelšanos. ³⁶ Vēl citi izcieta izsmieklu šaustīšanu, pat arī važas un cietumu. ³⁷ Tie tika akmeņiem nomētāti, sazāģēti, kārdināti, mira zobena nonāvēti, staigāja apkārt aitu ādās, kazu ādās, ciezdami trūkumu, apspiesti, mocīti; ³⁸ Tie, kam pasaule nebija cienīga, maldījās tuksnešos, kalnos un alās, un zemes aizās. ³⁹ Un tie visi, pārbaudīti ticības apliecinājumā, nesaņēma apsolīto, tāpēc ka ⁴⁰ Dievs mums paredzējis kaut ko labāku, un tāpēc viņi bez mums izpildījumu nesasniedza.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Tikėjimu Abelis aukojo geresnę auką negu Kainas ir dėl tikėjimo gavo liudijimą, kad yra teisus, Dievui paliudijus apie jo dovanas. Dėl tikėjimo jis ir miręs tebekalba. ⁵ Tikėjimu Henochas buvo perkeltas, kad nematytų mirties, ir “jo neberado, nes Dievas jį perkėlė”. Mat prieš perkeliamas, jis gavo liudijimą, kad patikęs Dievui. ⁶ O be tikėjimo neįmanoma patikti Dievui. Kas artinasi prie Dievo, tam būtina tikėti, kad Jis yra ir kad uoliai Jo ieškantiems atsilygina. ⁷ Tikėjimu Nojus, Dievo perspėtas apie tuo metu dar nematomus dalykus, būdamas dievobaimingas, pastatė arką savo šeimai išgelbėti; tikėjimu jis pasmerkė pasaulį ir paveldėjo tikėjimo teisumą. ⁸ Tikėjimu Abraomas pakluso, kai buvo pašauktas keliauti į šalį, kurią turėjo paveldėti, ir išvyko, nežinodamas kur einąs. ⁹ Tikėjimu jis apsigyveno pažado žemėje, tarytum svetimoje, gyvendamas palapinėse su Izaoku ir Jokūbu, to paties pažado bendrapaveldėtojais. ¹⁰ Mat jis laukė miesto su pamatais, kurio statytojas ir kūrėjas yra Dievas. ¹¹ Tikėjimu ir pati Saranevaisinga ir nebe to amžiausgavo galios pastoti ir pagimdė vaiką, nes ji laikė ištikimu Tą, kuris pažadėjo. ¹² Todėl iš vieno vyro, ir dar apmirusio, gimė palikuonys, gausūs tartum dangaus žvaigždės ir nesuskaitomi kaip jūros pakrantės smiltys. ¹³ Jie visi mirė tikėdami, dar negavę pažadėtųjų dalykų, bet iš tolo juos regėdami, buvo įsitikinę jais ir priėmė juos, išpažindami, jog jie žemėje svečiai ir keleiviai. ¹⁴ Kurie taip kalba, parodo, kad ieško tėvynės. ¹⁵ Jeigu jie būtų minėję aną, iš kurios iškeliavo, jie būtų turėję laiko sugrįžti atgal. ¹⁶ Bet dabar jie siekė geresnės tėvynės, tai yra dangiškosios. Todėl Dievas nesigėdija vadintis jų Dievu: juk Jis paruošė jiems Miestą! ¹⁷ Tikėjimu Abraomas aukojo Izaoką, kai buvo mėginamas. Jis, kuris buvo gavęs pažadą, aukojo savo viengimį sūnų, ¹⁸ apie kurį buvo pasakyta: “Iš Izaoko bus pašaukti tavo palikuonys”. ¹⁹ Jis suprato, kad Dievas gali prikelti net iš mirties, ir atgavo sūnų tarytum iš numirusių. ²⁰ Tikėjimu Izaokas palaimino ateičiai Jokūbą ir Ezavą. ²¹ Tikėjimu Jokūbas mirties valandą palaimino kiekvieną Juozapo sūnų ir pagarbino, atsirėmęs į savo lazdos drūtgalį. ²² Tikėjimu merdintis Juozapas priminė apie Izraelio vaikų iškeliavimą ir davė nurodymų dėl savo palaikų. ²³ Tikėjimu Mozė tris mėnesius buvo tėvų paslėptas, nes jie matė, koks kūdikis dailus, ir neišsigando karaliaus įsakymo. ²⁴ Tikėjimu Mozė užaugęs atsisakė vadintis faraono dukters sūnumi. ²⁵ Jis verčiau pasirinko su Dievo tauta kęsti sunkumus negu laikinai džiaugtis nuodėmės malonumais. ²⁶ Jis Kristaus paniekinimą laikė didesniu turtu negu Egipto brangenybes, nes jis žvelgė į atlygį. ²⁷ Tikėjimu jis paliko Egiptą, neišsigandęs karaliaus rūstybės, nes liko nepajudinamas, tarsi regėtų Neregimąjį. ²⁸ Tikėjimu jis įsteigė Paschą ir apšlakstymą krauju, kad naikintojas nepaliestų jų pirmagimių. ²⁹ Tikėjimu jie perėjo per Raudonąją jūrą tartum per sausumą, o tai daryti mėginantys egiptiečiai prigėrė. ³⁰ Tikėjimu buvo sugriauti Jericho mūrai po septynių dienų žygiavimo aplinkui. ³¹ Tikėjimu paleistuvė Rahaba nepražuvo kartu su neklusniaisiais; mat ji taikingai buvo priėmusi žvalgus. ³² Ką dar pasakyti? Man neužtektų laiko, jeigu imčiau pasakoti apie Gedeoną, Baraką, Samsoną, Jeftę, Dovydą, Samuelį ir pranašus, ³³ kurie tikėjimu nugalėjo karalystes, vykdė teisumą, įgijo pažadus, užčiaupė liūtams nasrus, ³⁴ užgesino ugnies karštį, paspruko nuo kalavijo ašmenų, sustiprėjo iš silpnumo, tapo galiūnais kovoje, privertė bėgti svetimųjų pulkus. ³⁵ Moterys atgavo prikeltus savo mirusiuosius, kiti buvo kankinami ir atsisakė išlaisvinimo, kad gautų prakilnesnį prisikėlimą. ³⁶ Dar kiti iškentė patyčias ir plakimus, taip pat pančius ir kalėjimą. ³⁷ Jie buvo akmenimis užmušami, pjaustomi pusiau, gundomi, kardu žudomi, klajojo prisidengę avių ir ožkų kailiais, vargo, kentė priespaudą ir kankinimus. ³⁸ Jie, kurių pasaulis nebuvo vertas, klajojo dykumose ir kalnuose, slapstėsi olose ir žemės plyšiuose. ³⁹ Ir jie visi, per tikėjimą gavę gerą liudijimą, negavo to, kas buvo pažadėta, ⁴⁰ nes Dievas geresnius dalykus buvo numatęs mums, kad jie ne be mūsų pasiektų tobulumą.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wiarą lepszą ofiarę ofiarował Abel Bogu, niżeli Kain, przez którą świadectwo otrzymał, że jest sprawiedliwy, jakoż sam Bóg świadectwo dał o darach jego, a przez te umarłszy jeszcze mówi. ⁵ Wiarą Enoch jest przeniesiony, aby nie oglądał śmierci i nie jest znaleziony, przeto że go Bóg przeniósł; albowiem pierwej niż jest przeniesiony, miał świadectwo, że się podobał Bogu. ⁶ A bez wiary nie można podobać się Bogu; albowiem ten, co przystępuje do Boga, wierzyć musi, że jest Bóg, a że nagrodę daje tym, którzy go szukają. ⁷ Wiarą obwieszczony będąc od Boga Noe o tem, czego jeszcze nie było widzieć, uczciwości wyświadczając, przygotował korab ku zachowaniu domu swego, przez który potępił świat i stał się dziedzicem sprawiedliwości tej, która jest z wiary. ⁸ Wiarą powołany będąc Abraham, usłuchał Boga, aby poszedł na ono miejsce, które miał wziąć za dziedzictwo i wyszedł, nie wiedząc, dokąd idzie. ⁹ Wiarą mieszkał w ziemi obiecanej jako w cudzej, mieszkając w namiotach z Izaakiem i z Jakóbem, spólnymi dziedzicami tejże obietnicy. ¹⁰ Albowiem oczekiwał miasta mającego grunty, którego sprawcą i budownikiem jest Bóg. ¹¹ Wiarą także Sara wzięła moc ku przyjęciu nasienia i mimo czasu wieku porodziła, gdyż miała za wiernego tego, który obiecał. ¹² A przetoż z jednego, i to obumarłego, rozpłodziło się potomstwo jako mnóstwo gwiazd niebieskich i jako piasek niezliczony, który jest na brzegu morskim. ¹³ Według wiary umarli ci wszyscy, nie wziąwszy obietnic, ale z daleka je upatrując i cieszyli się niemi, i witali je i wyznawali, iż są gośćmi i przychodniami na ziemi. ¹⁴ Bo ci, którzy tak mówią, jawnie okazują, iż ojczyzny szukają. ¹⁵ A wprawdzie, gdyby byli na onę pamiętali, z której byli wyszli, mieli dosyć czasu wrócić się zaś. ¹⁶ Ale oni lepszej żądają, to jest niebieskiej; przetoż i sam Bóg nie wstydzi się nazywać Bogiem ich, bo im miasto zgotował. ¹⁷ Wiarą ofiarował Abraham Izaaka, będąc kuszony, a ofiarował jednorodzonego ten, który był wziął obietnicę. ¹⁸ Do którego rzeczono: W Izaaku tobie będzie nazwane nasienie; ¹⁹ Uważając to, iż Bóg może i od umarłych wzbudzić; skąd go też w podobieństwie zmartwychwstania przyjął. ²⁰ Wiarą około przyszłych rzeczy błogosławił Izaak Jakóba i Ezawa. ²¹ Wiarą Jakób umierając, każdemu z synów Józefowych błogosławił i pokłonił się podparłszy się na wierzch laski swojej. ²² Wiarą Józef umierając, o wyjściu synów Izraelskich wzmiankę uczynił i z strony kości swoich rozkazał. ²³ Wiarą narodziwszy się Mojżesz, był ukryty przez trzy miesiące od rodziców swoich, przeto że widzieli nadobne dzieciątko i nie bali się wyroku królewskiego. ²⁴ Wiarą Mojżesz, będąc już dorosłym, zbraniał się być zwany synem córki Faraonowej, ²⁵ Raczej sobie obrawszy złe rzeczy cierpieć z ludem Bożym, niżeli doczesną mieć z grzechu rozkosz, ²⁶ Za większe pokładając bogactwo nad skarby Egipskie urąganie Chrystusowe; bo się oglądał na odpłatę. ²⁷ Wiarą opuścił Egipt, nie bojąc się gniewu królewskiego; bo jakoby widział niewidzialnego, mężnie sobie poczynał. ²⁸ Wiarą obchodził wielkanoc i wylanie krwi, aby ten, który tracił pierworodnych, nie dotknął się ich. ²⁹ Wiarą przeszli przez morze Czerwone, jako po suszy, o co kusiwszy się Egipczanie, potonęli. ³⁰ Wiarą mury Jerycha upadły, gdy je obchodzono przez siedm dni. ³¹ Wiarą Rachab wszetecznica nie zginęła wespół z nieposłusznymi, przyjąwszy z pokojem szpiegów do gospody. ³² A cóż więcej mam mówić? Bo by mi czasu nie stało, gdybym miał powiadać o Giedeonie i o Baraku, i o Samsonie, i o Jefcie, i o Dawidzie, i o Samuelu, i o prorokach. ³³ Którzy przez wiarę zwalczyli królestwa, czynili sprawiedliwość, dostępowali obietnic, lwom paszczęki zawierali; ³⁴ Zagaszali moc ognia, uchodzili ostrza mieczów, mocnymi się stawali z niemocnych, mężnymi bywali na wojnie, wojska cudzoziemców do uciekania przywodzili. ³⁵ Niewiasty odbierały umarłych swoich wzbudzonych; a drudzy są na próbach rozciągnieni, nie przyjąwszy wybawienia, aby lepszego dostąpili zmartwychwstania. ³⁶ Drudzy zasię pośmiewisk i biczowania doświadczyli, nadto i związek i więzienia. ³⁷ Byli kamionowani, piłą przecierani, kuszeni, mieczem zabijani, chodzili w owczych i kozich skórach; byli w niedostatku, w ucisku, w niewczasach; ³⁸ (Których nie był świat godzien;) tułali się po pustyniach i po górach, i jaskiniach, i jamach ziemi. ³⁹ A ci wszyscy świadectwo otrzymawszy przez wiarę, nie dostąpili obietnicy. ⁴⁰ Przeto, że Bóg o nas coś lepszego przejrzał, aby oni bez nas nie stali się doskonałymi.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Pela fé Abel ofereceu a Deus mais excelente sacrifício que Caim, pelo qual alcançou testemunho de que era justo, dando Deus testemunho das suas oferendas, e por meio dela depois de morto, ainda fala. ⁵ Pela fé Enoque foi trasladado para não ver a morte; e não foi achado, porque Deus o trasladara; pois antes da sua trasladação alcançou testemunho de que agradara a Deus. ⁶ Ora, sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus; porque é necessário que aquele que se aproxima de Deus creia que ele existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam. ⁷ Pela fé Noé, divinamente avisado das coisas que ainda não se viam, sendo temente a Deus, preparou uma arca para o salvamento da sua família; e por esta fé condenou o mundo, e tornou-se herdeiro da justiça que é segundo a fé. ⁸ Pela fé Abraão, sendo chamado, obedeceu, saindo para um lugar que havia de receber por herança; e saiu, sem saber para onde ia. ⁹ Pela fé peregrinou na terra da promessa, como em terra alheia, habitando em tendas com Isaque e Jacob, herdeiros com ele da mesma promessa; ¹⁰ porque esperava a cidade que tem os fundamentos, da qual o arquitecto e edificador é Deus. ¹¹ Pela fé, até a própria Sara recebeu a virtude de conceber um filho, mesmo fora da idade, porquanto teve por fiel aquele que lho havia prometido. ¹² Pelo que também de um, e esse já amortecido, descenderam tantos, em multidão, como as estrelas do céu, e como a areia inumerável que está na praia do mar. ¹³ Todos estes morreram na fé, sem terem alcançado as promessas; mas tendo-as visto e saudado, de longe, confessaram que eram estrangeiros e peregrinos na terra. ¹⁴ Ora, os que tais coisas dizem, mostram que estão buscando uma pátria. ¹⁵ E se, na verdade, se lembrassem daquela donde haviam saído, teriam oportunidade de voltar. ¹⁶ Mas agora desejam uma pátria melhor, isto é, a celestial. Pelo que também Deus não se envergonha deles, de ser chamado seu Deus, porque já lhes preparou uma cidade. ¹⁷ Pela fé Abraão, sendo provado, ofereceu Isaque; sim, ia oferecendo o seu unigénito aquele que recebera as promessas, ¹⁸ e a quem se havia dito: Em Isaque será chamada a tua descendência, ¹⁹ julgando que Deus era poderoso para até dos mortos o ressuscitar; e daí também em figura o recobrou. ²⁰ Pela fé Isaque abençoou Jacob e a Esaú, no tocante às coisas futuras. ²¹ Pela fé Jacob, quando estava para morrer, abençoou cada um dos filhos de José, e adorou, inclinado sobre a extremidade do seu bordão. ²² Pela fé José, estando próximo o seu fim, fez menção da saída dos filhos de Israel, e deu ordem acerca de seus ossos. ²³ Pela fé Moisés, logo ao nascer, foi escondido por seus pais durante três meses, porque viram que o menino era formoso; e não temeram o decreto do rei. ²⁴ Pela fé Moisés, sendo já homem, recusou ser chamado filho da filha de Faraó, ²⁵ escolhendo antes ser maltratado com o povo de Deus do que ter por algum tempo o gozo do pecado, ²⁶ tendo por maiores riquezas o opróbrio de Cristo do que os tesouros do Egipto; porque tinha em vista a recompensa. ²⁷ Pela fé deixou o Egipto, não temendo a ira do rei; porque ficou firme, como quem vê aquele que é invisível. ²⁸ Pela fé celebrou a páscoa e a aspersão do sangue, para que o destruidor dos primogénitos não lhes tocasse. ²⁹ Pela fé os israelitas atravessaram o Mar Vermelho, como por terra seca; e tentando isso os egípcios, foram afogados. ³⁰ Pela fé caíram os muros de Jericó, depois de rodeados por sete dias. ³¹ Pela fé Raabe, a meretriz, não pereceu com os desobedientes, tendo acolhido em paz os espias. ³² E que mais direi? Pois me faltará o tempo, se eu contar de Gedeão, de Baraque, de Sansão, de Jefté, de David, de Samuel e dos profetas; ³³ os quais por meio da fé venceram reinos, praticaram a justiça, alcançaram promessas, fecharam a boca dos leões, ³⁴ apagaram a força do fogo, escaparam ao fio da espada, da fraqueza tiraram forças, tornaram-se poderosos na guerra, puseram em fuga exércitos estrangeiros. ³⁵ As mulheres receberam pela ressurreição os seus mortos; uns foram torturados, não aceitando o seu livramento, para alcançarem uma melhor ressurreição; ³⁶ e outros experimentaram escárnios e açoites, e ainda cadeias e prisões. ³⁷ Foram apedrejados e tentados; foram serrados ao meio; morreram ao fio da espada; andaram vestidos de peles de ovelhas e de cabras, necessitados, aflitos e maltratados ³⁸ (dos quais o mundo não era digno), errantes pelos desertos e montes, e pelas covas e cavernas da terra. ³⁹ E todos estes, embora tendo recebido bom testemunho pela fé, contudo não alcançaram a promessa; ⁴⁰ visto que Deus provera alguma coisa melhor a nosso respeito, para que eles, sem nós, não fossem aperfeiçoados.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Ved tro bar Abel frem for Gud et bedre offer enn Kain; ved den fikk han det vidnesbyrd at han var rettferdig, idet Gud vidnet om hans gaver, og ved den taler han ennu efter sin død. ⁵ Ved tro blev Enok bortrykket, så han ikke skulde se døden, og han blev ikke funnet, fordi Gud hadde bortrykket ham. For før han blev bortrykket, fikk han det vidnesbyrd at han tektes Gud; ⁶ men uten tro er det umulig å tekkes Gud; for den som treder frem for Gud, må tro at han er til, og at han lønner dem som søker ham. ⁷ Ved tro bygget Noah, varslet av Gud om det som ennu ikke var sett, i hellig frykt en ark til frelse for sitt hus; ved den fordømte han verden og blev arving til rettferdigheten av tro. ⁸ Ved tro var Abraham lydig da han blev kalt, så han drog ut til det sted han skulde få til arv, og han drog ut uten å vite hvorhen han skulde komme; ⁹ ved tro opholdt han sig som utlending i det lovede land som i et fremmed land, idet han bodde i telt sammen med Isak og Jakob, medarvingene til det samme løfte; ¹⁰ for han ventet på den stad som har de faste grunnvoller, og som Gud er byggmester og skaper til. ¹¹ Ved tro fikk også Sara kraft til å grunnlegge en ætt, og det til tross for sin alder, da hun aktet ham trofast som gav løftet; ¹² derfor blev det også av en, og det en utlevd, avlet så mange som himmelens stjerner og som sanden ved havets strand, som ingen kan telle. ¹³ I tro døde alle disse uten at de hadde opnådd det som var lovt; men de så det langt borte og hilste det og bekjente at de var fremmede og utlendinger på jorden. ¹⁴ For de som sier slikt, gir derved til kjenne at de søker et fedreland; ¹⁵ og dersom de hadde tenkt på det som de var kommet fra, da hadde de jo hatt tid til å vende tilbake; ¹⁶ men nu stunder de efter et bedre, det er et himmelsk; derfor skammer Gud sig ikke ved dem, ved å kalles deres Gud; for han har gjort en stad ferdig til dem. ¹⁷ Ved tro ofret Abraham Isak dengang han blev fristet; ja, sin enbårne ofret han som hadde fått løftene, ¹⁸ han som det blev sagt til: I Isak skal det nevnes dig en ætt; ¹⁹ for han tenkte at Gud er mektig endog til å opvekke fra de døde, og derfra fikk han ham og likesom tilbake. ²⁰ Ved tro velsignet Isak Jakob og Esau, med syn på det som skulde komme. ²¹ Ved tro velsignet Jakob døende hver og en av Josefs sønner og tilbad, bøiet over knappen på sin stav. ²² Ved tro talte Josef på sitt siste om Israels barns utgang og gav påbud om sine ben. ²³ Ved tro blev Moses efter sin fødsel skjult i tre måneder av sine foreldre, fordi de så at gutten var fager, og de fryktet ikke for kongens bud. ²⁴ Ved tro nektet Moses, da han var blitt stor, å kalles Faraos datters sønn, ²⁵ idet han heller valgte å lide ondt sammen med Guds folk enn å ha en kortvarig nydelse av synden, ²⁶ og aktet Kristi vanære for en større rikdom enn Egyptens skatter; for han så frem til lønnen. ²⁷ Ved tro forlot han Egypten, uten å frykte for kongens vrede; for han holdt ut, som om han så den usynlige. ²⁸ Ved tro holdt han påsken med blodsprengningen, forat ikke ødeleggeren skulde røre deres førstefødte. ²⁹ Ved tro gikk de gjennem det Røde Hav som over tørt land; men da egypterne prøvde på det, druknet de. ³⁰ Ved tro falt Jerikos murer, da de hadde gått omkring dem i syv dager. ³¹ Ved tro undgikk skjøgen Rahab å gå til grunne med de vantro, da hun hadde tatt imot speiderne med fred. ³² Og hvorfor taler jeg lenger? Tiden vilde bli mig for kort om jeg skulde fortelle om Gideon og Barak og Samson og Jefta, om David og Samuel og profetene, ³³ som ved tro seiret over kongeriker, håndhevde rettferdighet, fikk løfter opfylt, stoppet gapet på løver, ³⁴ slukket ilds kraft, slapp fra sverds egg, fikk styrke igjen efter sykdom, blev veldige i krig, fikk fienders hærer til å vike; ³⁵ kvinner fikk sine døde igjen ved opstandelse; andre blev utspent til pinsel og vilde ikke ta imot utløsning, forat de kunde få del i en bedre opstandelse; ³⁶ andre fikk lide spott og hudstrykning, ja bånd og fengsel; ³⁷ de blev stenet, gjennemsaget, fristet; de døde for sverd; de flakket omkring i fåreskinn, i gjeteskinn, de led mangel, trengsel, hård medferd ³⁸ - verden var dem ikke verd - de vanket om i utørkener og fjell og huler og jordkløfter. ³⁹ Og enda alle disse fikk vidnesbyrd for sin tro, opnådde de ikke det som var lovt, ⁴⁰ fordi Gud forut hadde utsett noget bedre for oss, så de ikke skulde nå fullendelsen uten oss.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Prin credinţă a adus Abel lui Dumnezeu o jertfă mai bună decît Cain. Prin ea a căpătat el mărturia că este neprihănit, căci Dumnezeu a primit darurile lui. Şi prin ea vorbeşte el încă, măcar că este mort. ⁵ Prin credinţă a fost mutat Enoh de pe pămînt, ca să nu vadă moartea. Şi n'a mai fost găsit, pentrucă Dumnezeu îl mutase. Căci înainte de mutarea lui, primise mărturia că este plăcut lui Dumnezeu. ⁶ Şi fără credinţă este cu neputinţă să fim plăcuţi Lui! Căci cine se apropie de Dumnezeu, trebuie să creadă că El este, şi că răsplăteşte pe cei ce -L caută. ⁷ Prin credinţă Noe, cînd a fost înştiinţat de Dumnezeu despre lucruri cari încă nu se vedeau, şi, plin de o teamă sfîntă, a făcut un chivot ca să-şi scape casa; prin ea, el a osîndit lumea, şi a ajuns moştenitor al neprihănirii care se capătă prin credinţă. ⁸ Prin credinţă Avraam, cînd a fost chemat să plece într'un loc, pe care avea să -L ia ca moştenire, a ascultat, şi a plecat fără să ştie unde se duce. ⁹ Prin credinţă a venit şi s'a aşezat el în ţara făgăduinţei, ca într'o ţară care nu era a lui, şi a locuit în corturi, ca şi Isaac şi Iacov, cari erau împreună moştenitori cu el ai aceleiaş făgăduinţe. ¹⁰ Căci el aştepta cetatea care are temelii tari, al cărei meşter şi ziditor este Dumnezeu. ¹¹ Prin credinţă şi Sara, cu toată vîrsta ei trecută, a primit putere să zămislească, fiindcă a crezut în credincioşia Celui ce -i făgăduise. ¹² De aceea, dintr'un singur om, şi încă un om aproape mort, s'a născut o sămînţă în mare număr, ca stelele cerului, ca nisipul de pe malul mării, care nu se poate număra. ¹³ În credinţă au murit toţi aceştia, fără să fi căpătat lucrurile făgăduite: ci doar le-au văzut şi le-au urat de bine de departe, mărturisind că sînt străini şi călători pe pămînt. ¹⁴ Cei ce vorbesc în felul acesta, arată desluşit că sînt în căutarea unei patrii. ¹⁵ Dacă ar fi avut în vedere pe aceea din care ieşiseră, negreşit că ar fi avut vreme să se întoarcă în ea. ¹⁶ Dar doreau o patrie mai bună, adică o patrie cerească. De aceea lui Dumnezeu nu -I este ruşine să Se numească Dumnezeul lor, căci le -a pregătit o cetate. ¹⁷ Prin credinţă a adus Avraam jertfă pe Isaac, cînd a fost pus la încercare: el, care primise făgăduinţele cu bucurie, a adus jertfă pe singurul lui fiu! ¹⁸ El căruia i se spusese:,,În Isaac vei avea o sămînţă care-ţi va purta numele!`` ¹⁹ Căci se gîndea că Dumnezeu poate să învieze chiar şi din morţi: şi, drept vorbind, ca înviat din morţi l -a primit înapoi. ²⁰ Prin credinţă a dat Isaac lui Iacov şi Esau o binecuvîntare, care avea în vedere lucrurile viitoare. ²¹ Prin credinţă Iacov, cînd a murit, a binecuvîntat pe fiecare din fiii lui Iosif, şi,,s'a închinat, rezemat pe vîrful toiagului său.`` ²² Prin credinţă a pomenit Iosif, cînd i s'a apropiat sfîrşitul, de ieşirea fiilor lui Israel din Egipt, şi a dat porunci cu privire la oasele sale. ²³ Prin credinţă a fost ascuns Moise trei luni de părinţii lui, cînd s'a născut: pentrucă vedeau că era frumos copilul, şi nu s'au lăsat înspăimîntaţi de porunca împăratului. ²⁴ Prin credinţă Moise, cînd s'a făcut mare, n'a vrut să fie numit fiul fiicei lui Faraon, ²⁵ ci a vrut mai bine să sufere împreună cu poporul lui Dumnezeu decît să se bucure de plăcerile de o clipă ale păcatului. ²⁶ El socotea ocara lui Hristos ca o mai mare bogăţie decît comorile Egiptului, pentrucă avea ochii pironiţi spre răsplătire. ²⁷ Prin credinţă a părăsit el Egiptul, fără să se teamă de mînia împăratului; pentrucă a rămas neclintit, ca şi cum ar fi văzut pe Cel ce este nevăzut. ²⁸ Prin credinţă a prăznuit el Paştele şi a făcut stropirea sîngelui, pentruca Nimicitorul celor întîi născuţi să nu se atingă de ei. ²⁹ Prin credinţă au trecut ei marea Roşie ca pe uscat, pe cînd Egiptenii, cari au încercat s'o treacă, au fost înghiţiţi. ³⁰ Prin credinţă au căzut zidurile Ierihonului, după ce au fost ocolite şapte zile. ³¹ Prin credinţă n'a perit curva Rahav împreună cu cei răzvrătiţi, pentrucă găzduise iscoadele cu bunăvoinţă. ³² Şi ce voi mai zice? Căci nu mi-ar ajunge vremea, dacă aş vrea să vorbesc de Ghedeon, de Barac, de Samson, de Ieftaie, de David, de Samuel şi de prooroci! ³³ Prin credinţă au cucerit ei împărăţii, au făcut dreptate, au căpătat făgăduinţe, au astupat gurile leilor, ³⁴ au stins puterea focului, au scăpat de ascuţişul săbiei, s'au vindecat de boli, au fost viteji în războaie, au pus pe fugă oştirile vrăjmaşe. ³⁵ Femeile şi-au primit înapoi pe morţii lor înviaţi; unii, ca să dobîndească o înviere mai bună, n'au vrut să primească izbăvirea, care li se dădea, şi au fost chinuiţi. ³⁶ Alţii au suferit batjocuri, bătăi, lanţuri şi închisoare; ³⁷ au fost ucişi cu pietre, tăiaţi în două cu ferestrăul, chinuiţi; au murit ucişi de sabie, au pribegit îmbrăcaţi cu cojoace şi în piei de capre, lipsiţi de toate, prigoniţi, munciţi, - ³⁸ ei, de cari lumea nu era vrednică-au rătăcit prin pustiuri, prin munţi, prin peşteri şi prin crăpăturile pămîntului. ³⁹ Toţi aceştia, măcarcă au fost lăudaţi pentru credinţa lor, totuş n'au primit ce le fusese făgăduit; ⁴⁰ pentrucă Dumnezeu avea în vedere ceva mai bun pentru noi, ca să n'ajungă ei la desăvîrşire fără noi.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Вірою Авель приніс Богові жертву кращу, як Каїн; нею засвідчений був, що він праведний, як Бог свідчив про дари його; нею, і вмерши, він ще промовляє. ⁵ Вірою Енох був перенесений на небо, щоб не бачити смерти; і його не знайшли, бо Бог переніс його. Бо раніш, як його перенесено, він був засвідчений, що Богові він догодив. ⁶ Догодити ж без віри не можна. І той, хто до Бога приходить, мусить вірувати, що Він є, а тим, хто шукає Його, Він дає нагороду. ⁷ Вірою Ной, як дістав був об'явлення про те, чого ще не бачив, побоявшись, зробив ковчега, щоб дім свій спасти; нею світ засудив він, і став спадкоємцем праведности, що з віри вона. ⁸ Вірою Авраам, покликаний на місце, яке мав прийняти в спадщину, послухався та й пішов, не відаючи, куди йде. ⁹ Вірою він перебував на Землі Обіцяній, як на чужій, і проживав у наметах з Ісаком та Яковом, співспадкоємцями тієї ж обітниці, ¹⁰ бо чекав він міста, що має підвалини, що Бог його будівничий та творець. ¹¹ Вірою й Сара сама дістала силу прийняти насіння, і породила понад час свого віку, бо вірним вважала Того, Хто обітницю дав. ¹² Тому й від одного, та ще змертвілого, народилось так багато, як зорі небесні й пісок незчисленний край моря. ¹³ Усі вони повмирали за вірою, не одержавши обітниць, але здалека бачили їх, і повітали, і вірували в них, та визнавали, що вони на землі чужаниці й приходьки. ¹⁴ Бо ті, що говорять таке, виявляють, що шукають батьківщини. ¹⁵ І коли б вони пам'ятали ту, що вийшли з неї, то мали б були час повернутись. ¹⁶ Та бажають вони тепер кращої, цебто небесної, тому й Бог не соромиться їх, щоб звати Себе їхнім Богом, бо Він приготував їм місто. ¹⁷ Вірою Авраам, випробовуваний, привів був на жертву Ісака, і, мавши обітницю, приніс однородженого, ¹⁸ що йому було сказано: В Ісакові буде насіння тобі. ¹⁹ Бо він розумів, що Бог має силу й воскресити з мертвих, тому й одержав його на прообраз. ²⁰ Вірою в майбутнє поблагословив Ісак Якова та Ісава. ²¹ Вірою Яків, умираючи, поблагословив кожного сина Йосипового, і схилився на верх свого жезла. ²² Вірою Йосип, умираючи, згадав про вихід синів Ізраїлевих та про кості свої заповів. ²³ Вірою Мойсей, як родився, переховувався батьками своїми три місяці, бо вони бачили, що гарне дитя, і не злякались наказу царевого. ²⁴ Вірою Мойсей, коли виріс, відрікся зватися сином дочки фараонової. ²⁵ Він хотів краще страждати з народом Божим, аніж мати дочасну гріховну потіху. ²⁶ Він наругу Христову вважав за більше багатство, ніж скарби єгипетські, бо він озирався на Божу нагороду. ²⁷ Вірою він покинув Єгипет, не злякавшися гніву царевого, бо він був непохитний, як той, хто Невидимого бачить. ²⁸ Вірою справив він Пасху й покроплення крови, щоб їх не торкнувся той, хто погубив первороджених. ²⁹ Вірою вони перейшли Червоне море, немов суходолом, на що спокусившись єгиптяни, потопились. ³⁰ Вірою впали єрихонські мури по семиденнім обходженні їх. ³¹ Вірою блудниця Рахав не згинула з невірними, коли з миром прийняла вивідувачів. ³² І що ще скажу? Бо не стане часу мені, щоб оповідати про Гедеона, Варака, Самсона, Ефтая, Давида й Самуїла та про пророків, ³³ що вірою царства побивали, правду чинили, одержували обітниці, пащі левам загороджували, ³⁴ силу огненну гасили, утікали від вістря меча, зміцнялись від слабости, хоробрі були на війні, обертали в розтіч полки чужоземців; ³⁵ жінки діставали померлих своїх із воскресіння; а інші бували скатовані, не прийнявши визволення, щоб отримати краще воскресіння; ³⁶ а інші дізнали наруги та рани, а також кайдани й в'язниці. ³⁷ Камінням побиті бували, допитувані, перепилювані, умирали, зарубані мечем, тинялися в овечих та козячих шкурах, збідовані, засумовані, витерпілі. ³⁸ Ті, що світ не вартий був їх, тинялися по пустинях та горах, і по печерах та проваллях земних. ³⁹ І всі вони, одержавши засвідчення вірою, обітниці не прийняли, ⁴⁰ бо Бог передбачив щось краще про нас, щоб вони не без нас досконалість одержали.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Вірою приніс Авель луччу жертву Богу нїж Каїн, через котру сьвідчено (йому), що він праведний, як сьвідкував про дари його Бог; нею він, і вмерши, ще говорить. ⁵ Вірою Єнох перенесен, щоб не бачити смерти, і "не знайдено його, бо переніс його Бог": перед перенесеннєм бо його сьвідчено, "що угодив Богу". ⁶ Без віри ж не можна угодити, вірувати мусить бо, хто приходить до Бога, що Він єсть, і хто Його шукає тих нагороджує. ⁷ Вірою, звістку прийнявши Ной про те, чого ніколи не видано, в страсї (Божому) збудовав ковчег на спасенне дому свого, котрим осудив сьвіт, і став ся наслїдником праведности, по вірі. ⁸ Вірою, покликаний Авраам, послухав, щоб вийти на те місце, котре мав прийняти в наслїддє, і вийшов, не знаючи, куди йде. ⁹ Вірою оселивсь у землї обітуваній, яко чужій, живучи в наметах, з Ісааком і Яковом, спільними наслїдниками того ж обітування. ¹⁰ Дожидав бо города, що має основини, котрого будівничий і творець Бог. ¹¹ Вірою і сама Сарра прийняла силу на зачаттє насіння і мимо пори віку вродила, тим що вірним уважала Того, хто обітував. ¹² Тим же і від одного, та ще помертвілого, народилось множество, як зорі небесні і як піску край моря безліч. ¹³ По вірі померли гі всі, не прийнявши обітниць, а оддалеки видівши їх, і вірували, і витали, і визнавали, що вони чуженицї і захожі на землї. ¹⁴ Бо которі таке говорять, виявляють, що отчини шукають. ¹⁵ І справді, коли б ту памятали, з якої вийшли, мали б вони нагоду вернутись. ¹⁶ Нині ж луччої бажають, се єсть небесної; тим і не соромить ся їх Бог, називати ся Богом їх: наготовив бо їм город. ¹⁷ Вірою привів Авраам, спокушуваний, Ісаака (на жертву); единородного приніс, прийнявши обітницю, ¹⁸ про котрого було глаголано: "Що в Ісааку назветь ся тобі насіннє," ¹⁹ подумавши, що і з мертвих силен Бог воскресити; тим і прийняв його в образі (воскресення). ²⁰ Вірою в грядуще благословив Ісаак Якова та Ісава. ²¹ Вірою Яков, умираючи, благословив кожного сина Йосифого і "склонивсь на верх жезла свого". ²² Вірою Йосиф, умираючи, про виход синів Ізраїлевих згадав, а про кости свої заповів. ²³ Вірою Мойсей, народившись, хований був три місяці від батьків своїх, коли виділи вони, що дитина гарна, і не злякались повеління царського. ²⁴ Вірою Мойсей, бувши великим, відрік ся звати ся сином дочки Фараонової, ²⁵ а лучче зводив страдати з людьми Божими, нїж дізнавати дочасної розкоші гріха, ²⁶ більшим багацтвом над Єгипецькі скарби вважаючи наругу Христову; озиравсь бо на нагороду ²⁷ Вірою покинув Єгипет, не боячись гнїва царевого; устояв бо, яко такий, що Невидомого видить. ²⁸ Вірою зробив пасху і пролиттє крови, щоб губитель первороджених не займав їх. ²⁹ Вірою перейшли вони Червоне море, як по суходолу; що спробувавши Єгиптяне, потопились. ³⁰ Вірою стїни Єрихонські попадали, після семидневних обходин, ³¹ Вірою Раава блудниця не згинула з невірними, прийнявши підглядників з миром. ³² І що мені ще казати? не стане бо мені часу оповідати про Гедеона, та Варака, та Самеона, та Єтая, та про Давида і Самуїла, та про пророків, ³³ котрі вірою побивали царства, робили правду, одержували обітування, загороджували пащі левам, ³⁴ гасили силу огняну, втікали від гострого меча, робились потужними від немочи, бували міцні в бою, обертали в ростїч полки чужоземців; ³⁵ жінки приймали мертвих своїх з воекресення; инші ж побиті бували, не прийнявши збавлення, щоб лучче воскресенне одержати; ³⁶ другі ж наруги та ран дізнали, та ще й кайдан і темниці; ³⁷ каміннєм побиті бували, розпилювані, допитувані, смертю від меча вмирали, тинялись в овечих та козиних шкурах, бідуючи, горюючи, мучені, ³⁸ (котрих не був достоєн сьвіт,) по пустинях скитались та по горах та по вертепах і проваллях земних: ³⁹ І всї ці, одержавши сьвідченнв вірою, не прийняли обітування, ⁴⁰ тим що Бог лучче щось про нас провидів, щоб не без нас осягли звершеннє.
