Hebrews 11:1--12:3

Now
<1161>
faith
<4102>
is
<2076> (5748)
the substance
<5287>
of things hoped for
<1679> (5746)_,
the evidence
<1650>
of things
<4229>
not
<3756>
seen
<991> (5746)_.
{substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
For
<1063>
by
<1722>
it
<5026>
the elders
<4245>
obtained a good report
<3140> (5681)_.
Through faith
<4102>
we understand
<3539> (5719)
that the worlds
<165>
were framed
<2675> (5771)
by the word
<4487>
of God
<2316>_,
so
<1519>
that things which
<3588>
are seen
<991> (5746)
were
<1096> (0)
not
<3361>
made
<1096> (5755)
of
<1537>
things which do appear
<5316> (5730)_.
By faith
<4102>
Abel
<6>
offered
<4374> (5656)
unto God
<2316>
a more excellent
<4119>
sacrifice
<2378>
than
<3844>
Cain
<2535>_,
by
<1223>
which
<3739>
he obtained witness
<3140> (5681)
that he was
<1511> (5750)
righteous
<1342>_,
God
<2316>
testifying
<3140> (5723)
of
<1909>
his
<846>
gifts
<1435>_:
and
<2532>
by
<1223>
it
<846>
he being dead
<599> (5631)
yet
<2089>
speaketh
<2980> (5731) (5625) <2980> (5719)_.
{yet...: or, is yet spoken of}
By faith
<4102>
Enoch
<1802>
was translated
<3346> (5681)
that he should
<1492> (0)
not
<3361>
see
<1492> (5629)
death
<2288>_;
and
<2532>
was
<2147> (0)
not
<3756>
found
<2147> (5712)_,
because
<1360>
God
<2316>
had translated
<3346> (5656)
him
<846>_:
for
<1063>
before
<4253>
his
<846>
translation
<3331>
he had this testimony
<3140> (5769)_,
that he pleased
<2100> (5760)
God
<2316>_.
But
<1161>
without
<5565>
faith
<4102>
[it is] impossible
<102>
to please
<2100> (5658)
[him]: for
<1063>
he that cometh
<4334> (5740)
to God
<2316>
must
<1163> (5748)
believe
<4100> (5658)
that
<3754>
he is
<2076> (5748)_,
and
<2532>
[that] he is
<1096> (5736)
a rewarder
<3406>
of them that diligently seek
<1567> (5723)
him
<846>_.
By faith
<4102>
Noah
<3575>_,
being warned of God
<5537> (5685)
of
<4012>
things not
<3369> (0)
seen
<991> (5746)
as yet
<3369>_,
moved with fear
<2125> (5685)_,
prepared
<2680> (5656)
an ark
<2787>
to
<1519>
the saving
<4991>
of his
<846>
house
<3624>_;
by
<1223>
the which
<3739>
he condemned
<2632> (5656)
the world
<2889>_,
and
<2532>
became
<1096> (5633)
heir
<2818>
of the righteousness
<1343>
which is by
<2596>
faith
<4102>_.
{moved...: or, being wary}
By faith
<4102>
Abraham
<11>_,
when he was called
<2564> (5746)
to go out
<1831> (5629)
into
<1519>
a place
<5117>
which
<3739>
he should after
<3195> (5707)
receive
<2983> (5721)
for
<1519>
an inheritance
<2817>_,
obeyed
<5219> (5656)_;
and
<2532>
he went out
<1831> (5627)_,
not
<3361>
knowing
<1987> (5740)
whither
<4226>
he went
<2064> (5736)_.
By faith
<4102>
he sojourned
<3939> (5656)
in
<1519>
the land
<1093>
of promise
<1860>_,
as
<5613>
[in] a strange country
<245>_,
dwelling
<2730> (5660)
in
<1722>
tabernacles
<4633>
with
<3326>
Isaac
<2464>
and
<2532>
Jacob
<2384>_,
the heirs with him
<4789>
of the same
<846>
promise
<1860>_:
For
<1063>
he looked for
<1551> (5711)
a city
<4172>
which hath
<2192> (5723)
foundations
<2310>_,
whose
<3739>
builder
<5079>
and
<2532>
maker
<1217>
[is] God
<2316>_.
Through faith
<4102>
also
<2532>
Sara
<4564>
herself
<846>
received
<2983> (5627)
strength
<1411>
to
<1519>
conceive
<2602>
seed
<4690>_,
and
<2532>
was delivered of a child
<5088> (5627)
when she was past
<3844>
age
<2540> <2244>_,
because
<1893>
she judged
<2233> (5662)
him faithful
<4103>
who had promised
<1861> (5666)_.
Therefore
<1352>
sprang there
<1080> (5681)
even
<2532>
of
<575>
one
<1520>_,
and
<2532>
him
<5023>
as good as dead
<3499> (5772)_,
[so many] as
<2531>
the stars
<798>
of the sky
<3772>
in multitude
<4128>_,
and
<2532>
as
<5616>
the sand
<285>
which
<3588>
is by
<3844>
the sea
<2281>
shore
<5491>
innumerable
<382>_.
These
<3778>
all
<3956>
died
<599> (5627)
in
<2596>
faith
<4102>_,
not
<3361>
having received
<2983> (5631)
the promises
<1860>_,
but
<235>
having seen
<1492> (5631)
them
<846>
afar off
<4207>_,
and
<2532>
were persuaded of
<3982> (5685)
[them], and
<2532>
embraced
<782> (5666)
[them], and
<2532>
confessed
<3670> (5660)
that
<3754>
they were
<1526> (5748)
strangers
<3581>
and
<2532>
pilgrims
<3927>
on
<1909>
the earth
<1093>_.
{in faith: Gr. according to faith}
For
<1063>
they that say
<3004> (5723)
such things
<5108>
declare plainly
<1718> (5719)
that
<3754>
they seek
<1934> (5719)
a country
<3968>_.
And
<2532>
truly
<3303>_,
if
<1487>
they had been mindful
<3421> (5707)
of that
<1565>
[country] from
<575>
whence
<3739>
they came out
<1831> (5627)_,
they might
<302>
have had
<2192> (5707)
opportunity
<2540>
to have returned
<344> (5658)_.
But
<1161>
now
<3570>
they desire
<3713> (5734)
a better
<2909>
[country], that is
<5123> (5748)_,
an heavenly
<2032>_:
wherefore
<1352>
God
<2316>
is
<1870> (0)
not
<3756>
ashamed
<1870> (5736) <846>
to be called
<1941> (5745)
their
<846>
God
<2316>_:
for
<1063>
he hath prepared
<2090> (5656)
for them
<846>
a city
<4172>_.
By faith
<4102>
Abraham
<11>_,
when he was tried
<3985> (5746)_,
offered up
<4374> (5754)
Isaac
<2464>_:
and
<2532>
he that had received
<324> (5666)
the promises
<1860>
offered up
<4374> (5707)
his only begotten
<3439>
[son],
Of
<4314>
whom
<3739>
it was said
<2980> (5681)_,
That
<3754>
in
<1722>
Isaac
<2464>
shall
<2564> (0)
thy
<4671>
seed
<4690>
be called
<2564> (5701)_:
{of: or, to}
Accounting
<3049> (5666)
that
<3754>
God
<2316>
[was] able
<1415>
to raise [him] up
<1453> (5721)_,
even
<2532>
from
<1537>
the dead
<3498>_;
from whence
<3606>
also
<2532>
he received
<2865> (5668)
him
<846>
in
<1722>
a figure
<3850>_.
By faith
<4102>
Isaac
<2464>
blessed
<2127> (5656)
Jacob
<2384>
and
<2532>
Esau
<2269>
concerning
<4012>
things to come
<3195> (5723)_.
By faith
<4102>
Jacob
<2384>_,
when he was a dying
<599> (5723)_,
blessed
<2127> (5656)
both
<1538>
the sons
<5207>
of Joseph
<2501>_;
and
<2532>
worshipped
<4352> (5656)_,
[leaning] upon
<1909>
the top
<206>
of his
<846>
staff
<4464>_.
By faith
<4102>
Joseph
<2501>_,
when he died
<5053> (5723)_,
made mention
<3421> (5656)
of
<4012>
the departing
<1841>
of the children
<5207>
of Israel
<2474>_;
and
<2532>
gave commandment
<1781> (5662)
concerning
<4012>
his
<846>
bones
<3747>_.
{made...: or, remembered}
By faith
<4102>
Moses
<3475>_,
when he was born
<1080> (5685)_,
was hid
<2928> (5648)
three months
<5150>
of
<5259>
his
<846>
parents
<3962>_,
because
<1360>
they saw
<1492> (5627)
[he was] a proper
<791>
child
<3813>_;
and
<2532>
they were
<5399> (0)
not
<3756>
afraid
<5399> (5675)
of the king's
<935>
commandment
<1297>_.
By faith
<4102>
Moses
<3475>_,
when he was come
<1096> (5637)
to years
<3173>_,
refused
<720> (5662)
to be called
<3004> (5745)
the son
<5207>
of Pharaoh's
<5328>
daughter
<2364>_;
Choosing
<138> (5642)
rather
<3123>
to suffer affliction
<4778> (5738)
with the people
<2992>
of God
<2316>_,
than
<2228>
to enjoy the pleasures
<2192> (5721) <619>
of sin
<266>
for a season
<4340>_;
Esteeming
<2233> (0)
the reproach
<3680>
of Christ
<5547>
greater
<3187>
riches
<4149>
than
<2233> (5666)
the treasures
<2344>
in
<1722>
Egypt
<125>_:
for
<1063>
he had respect
<578> (5707)
unto
<1519>
the recompence of the reward
<3405>_.
{of Christ: or, for Christ}
By faith
<4102>
he forsook
<2641> (5627)
Egypt
<125>_,
not
<3361>
fearing
<5399> (5679)
the wrath
<2372>
of the king
<935>_:
for
<1063>
he endured
<2594> (5656)_,
as
<5613>
seeing
<3708> (5723)
him who is invisible
<517>_.
Through faith
<4102>
he kept
<4160> (5758)
the passover
<3957>_,
and
<2532>
the sprinkling
<4378>
of blood
<129>_,
lest
<3363>
he that destroyed
<3645> (5723)
the firstborn
<4416>
should touch
<2345> (5632)
them
<846>_.
By faith
<4102>
they passed through
<1224> (5627)
the Red
<2063>
sea
<2281>
as
<5613>
by
<1223>
dry
<3584>
[land]: which
<3739>
the Egyptians
<124>
assaying
<3984>
to do
<2983> (5631)
were drowned
<2666> (5681)_.
By faith
<4102>
the walls
<5038>
of Jericho
<2410>
fell down
<4098> (5627)_,
after they were compassed
<2944> (5685)
about
<1909>
seven
<2033>
days
<2250>_.
By faith
<4102>
the harlot
<4204>
Rahab
<4460>
perished
<4881> (5639)
not
<3756>
with them that believed not
<544> (5660)_,
when she had received
<1209> (5666)
the spies
<2685>
with
<3326>
peace
<1515>_.
{that...: or, that were disobedient}
And
<2532>
what
<5101>
shall I
<3004> (0)
more
<2089>
say
<3004> (5725)_?
for
<1063>
the time
<5550>
would fail
<1952> (5692)
me
<3165>
to tell
<1334> (5740)
of
<4012>
Gedeon
<1066>_,
and
<5037>
[of] Barak
<913>_,
and
<2532>
[of] Samson
<4546>_,
and
<2532>
[of] Jephthae
<2422>_;
[of] David
<1138>
also
<2532>_,
and
<5037>
Samuel
<4545>_,
and
<2532>
[of] the prophets
<4396>_:
Who
<3739>
through
<1223>
faith
<4102>
subdued
<2610> (5662)
kingdoms
<932>_,
wrought
<2038> (5662)
righteousness
<1343>_,
obtained
<2013> (5627)
promises
<1860>_,
stopped
<5420> (5656)
the mouths
<4750>
of lions
<3023>_,
Quenched
<4570> (5656)
the violence
<1411>
of fire
<4442>_,
escaped
<5343> (5627)
the edge
<4750>
of the sword
<3162>_,
out of
<575>
weakness
<769>
were made strong
<1743> (5681)_,
waxed
<1096> (5675)
valiant
<2478>
in
<1722>
fight
<4171>_,
turned to flight
<2827> (5656)
the armies
<3925>
of the aliens
<245>_.
Women
<1135>
received
<2983> (5627)
their
<846>
dead
<3498>
raised to life again
<1537> <386>_:
and
<1161>
others
<243>
were tortured
<5178> (5681)_,
not
<3756>
accepting
<4327> (5666)
deliverance
<629>_;
that
<2443>
they might obtain
<5177> (5632)
a better
<2909>
resurrection
<386>_:
And
<1161>
others
<2087>
had
<2983> (5627)
trial
<3984>
of [cruel] mockings
<1701>
and
<2532>
scourgings
<3148>_,
yea
<1161>_,
moreover
<2089>
of bonds
<1199>
and
<2532>
imprisonment
<5438>_:
They were stoned
<3034> (5681)_,
they were sawn asunder
<4249> (5681)_,
were tempted
<3985> (5681)_,
were slain
<599> (5627)
with
<1722>
the sword
<5408> <3162>_:
they wandered about
<4022> (5627)
in
<1722>
sheepskins
<3374>
and
<1722>
goatskins
<122> <1192>_;
being destitute
<5302> (5746)_,
afflicted
<2346> (5746)_,
tormented
<2558> (5746)_;
(Of whom
<3739>
the world
<2889>
was
<2258> (5713)
not
<3756>
worthy
<514>:)
they wandered
<4105> (5746)
in
<1722>
deserts
<2047>_,
and
<2532>
[in] mountains
<3735>_,
and
<2532>
[in] dens
<4693>
and
<2532>
caves
<3692>
of the earth
<1093>_.
And
<2532>
these
<3778>
all
<3956>_,
having obtained a good report
<3140> (5685)
through
<1223>
faith
<4102>_,
received
<2865> (5668)
not
<3756>
the promise
<1860>_:
God
<2316>
having provided
<4265> (5671)
some
<5100> (0)
better
<2909>
thing
<5100>
for
<4012>
us
<2257>_,
that
<3363> (0)
they
<5048> (0)
without
<5565>
us
<2257>
should
<5048> (0)
not
<3363>
be made perfect
<5048> (5686)_.
{provided: or, foreseen}
Wherefore
<5105>
seeing we also
<2532>
are
<2192> (5723)
compassed about
<4029> (5740) <2254>
with so great
<5118>
a cloud
<3509>
of witnesses
<3144>_,
let
<659> (0)
us
<2249>
lay aside
<659> (5642)
every
<3956>
weight
<3591>_,
and
<2532>
the sin
<266>
which doth so easily beset
<2139>
[us], and let us run
<5143> (5725)
with
<1223>
patience
<5281>
the race
<73>
that is set before
<4295> (5740)
us
<2254>_,
Looking
<872> (5723)
unto
<1519>
Jesus
<2424>
the author
<747>
and
<2532>
finisher
<5051>
of [our] faith
<4102>_;
who
<3739>
for
<473>
the joy
