1
Now
faith
is
the
substance
of
things
hoped
for,
the
evidence
of
things
not
seen.
2
For
by
it
the
elders
obtained
a
good
report.
3
Through
faith
we
understand
that
the
worlds
were
framed
by
the
word
of
God,
so
that
things
which
are
seen
were
not
made
of
things
which
do
appear.
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
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
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
whither
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
hath
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
whence
they
came
out,
they
might
have
had
opportunity
to
have
returned.
16
But
now
they
desire
a
better
[country],
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
[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
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
recompence
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,
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,
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
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.
