11:1 | 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} |
11:2 | For <1063> by <1722> it <5026> the elders <4245> obtained a good report <3140> (5681). |
11:3 | 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). |
11:4 | 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} |
11:5 | 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>. |
11:6 | 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>. |
11:7 | 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} |
11:8 | 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). |
11:9 | 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>: |
11:10 | 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>. |
11:11 | 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). |
11:12 | 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>. |
11:13 | 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} |
11:14 | For <1063> they that say <3004> (5723) such things <5108> declare plainly <1718> (5719) that <3754> they seek <1934> (5719) a country <3968>. |
11:15 | 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). |
11:16 | 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>. |
11:17 | 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], |
11:18 | 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} |
11:19 | 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>. |
11:20 | By faith <4102> Isaac <2464> blessed <2127> (5656) Jacob <2384> and <2532> Esau <2269> concerning <4012> things to come <3195> (5723). |
11:21 | 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>. |
11:22 | 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} |
11:23 | 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>. |
11:24 | 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>; |
11:25 | 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>; |
11:26 | 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} |
11:27 | 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>. |
11:28 | 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>. |
11:29 | 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). |
11:30 | 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>. |
11:31 | 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} |
11:32 | 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>: |
11:33 | 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>, |
11:34 | 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>. |
11:35 | 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>: |
11:36 | 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>: |
11:37 | 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); |
11:38 | (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>. |
11:39 | 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>: |
11:40 | 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} |
