NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. {substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
ForG1063 byG1722 itG5026 the eldersG4245 obtained a good reportG3140.
Through faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the worldsG165 were framedG2675 by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that things whichG3588 are seenG991 wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096 ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.
By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1511 righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980. {yet…: or, is yet spoken of}
By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346 that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1360 GodG2316 had translatedG3346 himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3331 he had this testimonyG3140, that he pleasedG2100 GodG2316.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG2076, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567 himG846.
By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991 as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102. {moved…: or, being wary}
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2540+G2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they mightG302 have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that isG5123, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870+G846 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564: {of: or, to}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053, made mentionG3421 ofG4012 the departingG1841 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781 concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747. {made…: or, remembered}
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG1492 he was a properG791 childG3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399 of the king'sG935 commandmentG1297.
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096 to yearsG3173, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364;
ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192+G619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3187 richesG4149 thanG2233 the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578 untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3405. {of Christ: or, for Christ}
By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.
Through faithG4102 he keptG4160 the passoverG3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG4378 of bloodG129, lestG3363 he that destroyedG3645 the firstbornG4416 should touchG2345 themG846.
By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224 the RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983 were drownedG2666.
By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
By faithG4102 the harlotG4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881 notG3756 with them that believed notG544, when she had receivedG1209 the spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515. {that…: or, that were disobedient}
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610 kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038 righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,
QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG1537+G386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 deliveranceG629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386:
AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983 trialG3984 of cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG1161, moreoverG2089 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:
They were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunderG4249, were temptedG3985, were slainG599 withG1722 the swordG5408+G3162: they wandered aboutG4022 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122+G1192; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, tormentedG2558;
(Of whomG3739 the worldG2889 wasG2258 notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105 inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3692 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}
