Now¹¹⁶¹ faith⁴¹⁰² is²⁰⁷⁶ the substance⁵²⁸⁷ of things hoped for¹⁶⁷⁹ the evidence¹⁶⁵⁰ of things⁴²²⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ seen⁹⁹¹

For¹⁰⁶³ by¹⁷²² it⁵⁰²⁶ the elders⁴²⁴⁵ obtained a good report³¹⁴⁰

Through faith⁴¹⁰² we understand³⁵³⁹ that the worlds¹⁶⁵ were framed²⁶⁷⁵ by the word⁴⁴⁸⁷ of Elohim²³¹⁶, so¹⁵¹⁹ that things which³⁵⁸⁸ are seen⁹⁹¹ were¹⁰⁹⁶ not³³⁶¹ made¹⁰⁹⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ things which do appear⁵³¹⁶

By faith⁴¹⁰² Abel⁶ offered⁴³⁷⁴ unto Elohim²³¹⁶ a more excellent⁴¹¹⁹ sacrifice²³⁷⁸ than³⁸⁴⁴ Cain²⁵³⁵, by¹²²³ which³⁷³⁹ he obtained witness³¹⁴⁰ that he was¹⁵¹¹ righteous¹³⁴², Elohim²³¹⁶ testifying³¹⁴⁰ of¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ gifts¹⁴³⁵: and²⁵³² by¹²²³ it⁸⁴⁶ he being dead⁵⁹⁹ yet²⁰⁸⁹ speaketh²⁹⁸⁰

By faith⁴¹⁰² Enoch¹⁸⁰² was translated³³⁴⁶ that he should¹⁴⁹² not³³⁶¹ see¹⁴⁹² death²²⁸⁸; and²⁵³² was²¹⁴⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ found²¹⁴⁷ because¹³⁶⁰ Elohim²³¹⁶ had translated³³⁴⁶ him⁸⁴⁶: for¹⁰⁶³ before⁴²⁵³ his⁸⁴⁶ translation³³³¹ he had this testimony³¹⁴⁰ that he pleased²¹⁰⁰ Elohim²³¹⁶.

But¹¹⁶¹ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ faith⁴¹⁰² it is impossible¹⁰² to please²¹⁰⁰ him: for¹⁰⁶³ he that cometh⁴³³⁴ to Elohim²³¹⁶ must¹¹⁶³ believe⁴¹⁰⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ he is²⁰⁷⁶ and²⁵³² that he is¹⁰⁹⁶ a rewarder³⁴⁰⁶ of them that diligently seek¹⁵⁶⁷ him⁸⁴⁶.

By faith⁴¹⁰² Noah³⁵⁷⁵, being warned of Elohim⁵⁵³⁷ of⁴⁰¹² things not³³⁶⁹ seen⁹⁹¹ as yet³³⁶⁹, moved with fear²¹²⁵ prepared²⁶⁸⁰ an ark²⁷⁸⁷ to¹⁵¹⁹ the saving⁴⁹⁹¹ of his⁸⁴⁶ house³⁶²⁴; by¹²²³ which³⁷³⁹ he condemned²⁶³² the world²⁸⁸⁹, and²⁵³² became¹⁰⁹⁶ heir²⁸¹⁸ of the righteousness¹³⁴³ which is by²⁵⁹⁶ faith⁴¹⁰².

By faith⁴¹⁰² Abraham¹¹, when he was called²⁵⁶⁴ to go out¹⁸³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ a place⁵¹¹⁷ which³⁷³⁹ he should after³¹⁹⁵ receive²⁹⁸³ for¹⁵¹⁹ an inheritance²⁸¹⁷, obeyed⁵²¹⁹ and²⁵³² he went out¹⁸³¹ not³³⁶¹ knowing¹⁹⁸⁷ whither⁴²²⁶ he went²⁰⁶⁴

By faith⁴¹⁰² he sojourned³⁹³⁹ in¹⁵¹⁹ the land¹⁰⁹³ of promise¹⁸⁶⁰, as⁵⁶¹³ in a strange country²⁴⁵, dwelling²⁷³⁰ in¹⁷²² tabernacles⁴⁶³³ with³³²⁶ Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ and²⁵³² Jacob²³⁸⁴, the heirs with him⁴⁷⁸⁹ of the same⁸⁴⁶ promise¹⁸⁶⁰:

For¹⁰⁶³ he looked for¹⁵⁵¹ a city⁴¹⁷² which hath²¹⁹² foundations²³¹⁰, whose³⁷³⁹ builder⁵⁰⁷⁹ and²⁵³² maker¹²¹⁷ is Elohim²³¹⁶.

Through faith⁴¹⁰² also²⁵³² Sara⁴⁵⁶⁴ herself⁸⁴⁶ received²⁹⁸³ strength¹⁴¹¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ conceive²⁶⁰² seed⁴⁶⁹⁰, and²⁵³² was delivered of a child⁵⁰⁸⁸ when she was past³⁸⁴⁴ age²⁵⁴⁰, because¹⁸⁹³ she judged²²³³ him faithful⁴¹⁰³ who had promised¹⁸⁶¹

Therefore¹³⁵² sprang there¹⁰⁸⁰ even²⁵³² of⁵⁷⁵ one¹⁵²⁰, and²⁵³² him⁵⁰²³ as good as dead³⁴⁹⁹ so many as²⁵³¹ the stars⁷⁹⁸ of the sky³⁷⁷² in multitude⁴¹²⁸, and²⁵³² as⁵⁶¹⁶ the sand²⁸⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ is by³⁸⁴⁴ the sea²²⁸¹ shore⁵⁴⁹¹ innumerable³⁸².

These³⁷⁷⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ died⁵⁹⁹ in²⁵⁹⁶ faith⁴¹⁰², not³³⁶¹ having received²⁹⁸³ the promises¹⁸⁶⁰, but²³⁵ having seen¹⁴⁹² them⁸⁴⁶ afar off⁴²⁰⁷, and²⁵³² were persuaded of³⁹⁸² them, and²⁵³² embraced⁷⁸² them, and²⁵³² confessed³⁶⁷⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were¹⁵²⁶ strangers³⁵⁸¹ and²⁵³² pilgrims³⁹²⁷ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the earth¹⁰⁹³.

For¹⁰⁶³ they that say³⁰⁰⁴ such things⁵¹⁰⁸ declare plainly¹⁷¹⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ they seek¹⁹³⁴ a country³⁹⁶⁸.

And²⁵³² truly³³⁰³, if¹⁴⁸⁷ they had been mindful³⁴²¹ of that¹⁵⁶⁵ country from⁵⁷⁵ whence³⁷³⁹ they came out¹⁸³¹ they might³⁰² have had²¹⁹² opportunity²⁵⁴⁰ to have returned³⁴⁴

But¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ they desire³⁷¹³ a better²⁹⁰⁹ country, that is⁵¹²³ an heavenly²⁰³²: wherefore¹³⁵² Elohim²³¹⁶ is¹⁸⁷⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ ashamed¹⁸⁷⁰ to be called¹⁹⁴¹ their⁸⁴⁶ Elohim²³¹⁶: for¹⁰⁶³ he hath prepared²⁰⁹⁰ for them⁸⁴⁶ a city⁴¹⁷².

By faith⁴¹⁰² Abraham¹¹, when he was tried³⁹⁸⁵ offered up⁴³⁷⁴ Isaac²⁴⁶⁴: and²⁵³² he that had received³²⁴ the promises¹⁸⁶⁰ offered up⁴³⁷⁴ his only begotten³⁴³⁹ son,

Of⁴³¹⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ it was said²⁹⁸⁰ That³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ shall²⁵⁶⁴ thy⁴⁶⁷¹ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ be called²⁵⁶⁴

Accounting³⁰⁴⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ Elohim²³¹⁶ was able¹⁴¹⁵ to raise him up¹⁴⁵³ even²⁵³² from¹⁵³⁷ the dead³⁴⁹⁸; from whence³⁶⁰⁶ also²⁵³² he received²⁸⁶⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² a figure³⁸⁵⁰.

By faith⁴¹⁰² Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ blessed²¹²⁷ Jacob²³⁸⁴ and²⁵³² Esau²²⁶⁹ concerning⁴⁰¹² things to come³¹⁹⁵

By faith⁴¹⁰² Jacob²³⁸⁴, when he was a dying⁵⁹⁹ blessed²¹²⁷ both¹⁵³⁸ the sons⁵²⁰⁷ of Joseph²⁵⁰¹; and²⁵³² worshipped⁴³⁵² leaning upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the top²⁰⁶ of his⁸⁴⁶ staff⁴⁴⁶⁴.

By faith⁴¹⁰² Joseph²⁵⁰¹, when he died⁵⁰⁵³ made mention³⁴²¹ of⁴⁰¹² the departing¹⁸⁴¹ of the children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴; and²⁵³² gave commandment¹⁷⁸¹ concerning⁴⁰¹² his⁸⁴⁶ bones³⁷⁴⁷.

By faith⁴¹⁰² Moses³⁴⁷⁵, when he was born¹⁰⁸⁰ was hid²⁹²⁸ three months⁵¹⁵⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ parents³⁹⁶², because¹³⁶⁰ they saw¹⁴⁹² he was a proper⁷⁹¹ child³⁸¹³; and²⁵³² they were⁵³⁹⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ afraid⁵³⁹⁹ of the king's⁹³⁵ commandment¹²⁹⁷.

By faith⁴¹⁰² Moses³⁴⁷⁵, when he was come¹⁰⁹⁶ to years³¹⁷³, refused⁷²⁰ to be called³⁰⁰⁴ the son⁵²⁰⁷ of Pharaoh's⁵³²⁸ daughter²³⁶⁴;

Choosing¹³⁸ rather³¹²³ to suffer affliction⁴⁷⁷⁸ with the people²⁹⁹² of Elohim²³¹⁶, than²²²⁸ to enjoy the pleasures²¹⁹² of sin²⁶⁶ for a season⁴³⁴⁰;

Esteeming²²³³ the reproach³⁶⁸⁰ of Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷ greater³¹⁸⁷ riches⁴¹⁴⁹ than²²³³ the treasures²³⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² Egypt¹²⁵: for¹⁰⁶³ he had respect⁵⁷⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the recompence of the reward³⁴⁰⁵.

By faith⁴¹⁰² he forsook²⁶⁴¹ Egypt¹²⁵, not³³⁶¹ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ the wrath²³⁷² of the king⁹³⁵: for¹⁰⁶³ he endured²⁵⁹⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ seeing³⁷⁰⁸ him who is invisible⁵¹⁷.

Through faith⁴¹⁰² he kept⁴¹⁶⁰ the passover³⁹⁵⁷, and²⁵³² the sprinkling⁴³⁷⁸ of blood¹²⁹, lest³³⁶³ he that destroyed³⁶⁴⁵ the firstborn⁴⁴¹⁶ should touch²³⁴⁵ them⁸⁴⁶.

By faith⁴¹⁰² they passed through¹²²⁴ the Red²⁰⁶³ sea²²⁸¹ as⁵⁶¹³ by¹²²³ dry³⁵⁸⁴ land: which³⁷³⁹ the Egyptians¹²⁴ assaying³⁹⁸⁴ to do²⁹⁸³ were drowned²⁶⁶⁶

By faith⁴¹⁰² the walls⁵⁰³⁸ of Jericho²⁴¹⁰ fell down⁴⁰⁹⁸ after they were compassed²⁹⁴⁴ about¹⁹⁰⁹ seven²⁰³³ days²²⁵⁰.

By faith⁴¹⁰² the harlot⁴²⁰⁴ Rahab⁴⁴⁶⁰ perished⁴⁸⁸¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ with them that believed not⁵⁴⁴ when she had received¹²⁰⁹ the spies²⁶⁸⁵ with³³²⁶ peace¹⁵¹⁵.

And²⁵³² what⁵¹⁰¹ shall I³⁰⁰⁴ more²⁰⁸⁹ say³⁰⁰⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ the time⁵⁵⁵⁰ would fail¹⁹⁵² me³¹⁶⁵ to tell¹³³⁴ of⁴⁰¹² Gedeon¹⁰⁶⁶, and⁵⁰³⁷ of Barak⁹¹³, and²⁵³² of Samson⁴⁵⁴⁶, and²⁵³² of Jephthae²⁴²²; of David¹¹³⁸ also²⁵³², and⁵⁰³⁷ Samuel⁴⁵⁴⁵, and²⁵³² of the prophets⁴³⁹⁶:

Who³⁷³⁹ through¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² subdued²⁶¹⁰ kingdoms⁹³², wrought²⁰³⁸ righteousness¹³⁴³, obtained²⁰¹³ promises¹⁸⁶⁰, stopped⁵⁴²⁰ the mouths⁴⁷⁵⁰ of lions³⁰²³,

Quenched⁴⁵⁷⁰ the violence¹⁴¹¹ of fire⁴⁴⁴², escaped⁵³⁴³ the edge⁴⁷⁵⁰ of the sword³¹⁶², out of⁵⁷⁵ weakness⁷⁶⁹ were made strong¹⁷⁴³ waxed¹⁰⁹⁶ valiant²⁴⁷⁸ in¹⁷²² fight⁴¹⁷¹, turned to flight²⁸²⁷ the armies³⁹²⁵ of the aliens²⁴⁵.

Women¹¹³⁵ received²⁹⁸³ their⁸⁴⁶ dead³⁴⁹⁸ raised to life again¹⁵³⁷ : and¹¹⁶¹ others²⁴³ were tortured⁵¹⁷⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ accepting⁴³²⁷ deliverance⁶²⁹; that²⁴⁴³ they might obtain⁵¹⁷⁷ a better²⁹⁰⁹ resurrection³⁸⁶:

And¹¹⁶¹ others²⁰⁸⁷ had²⁹⁸³ trial³⁹⁸⁴ of cruel mockings¹⁷⁰¹ and²⁵³² scourgings³¹⁴⁸, yea¹¹⁶¹, moreover²⁰⁸⁹ of bonds¹¹⁹⁹ and²⁵³² imprisonment⁵⁴³⁸:

They were stoned³⁰³⁴ they were sawn asunder⁴²⁴⁹ were tempted³⁹⁸⁵ were slain⁵⁹⁹ with¹⁷²² the sword⁵⁴⁰⁸ : they wandered about⁴⁰²² in¹⁷²² sheepskins³³⁷⁴ and¹⁷²² goatskins¹²²; being destitute⁵³⁰² afflicted²³⁴⁶ tormented²⁵⁵⁸

(Of whom³⁷³⁹ the world²⁸⁸⁹ was²²⁵⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ worthy⁵¹⁴:) they wandered⁴¹⁰⁵ in¹⁷²² deserts²⁰⁴⁷, and²⁵³² in mountains³⁷³⁵, and²⁵³² in dens⁴⁶⁹³ and²⁵³² caves³⁶⁹² of the earth¹⁰⁹³.

And²⁵³² these³⁷⁷⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶, having obtained a good report³¹⁴⁰ through¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰², received²⁸⁶⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ the promise¹⁸⁶⁰:

Elohim²³¹⁶ having provided⁴²⁶⁵ some⁵¹⁰⁰ better²⁹⁰⁹ thing⁵¹⁰⁰ for⁴⁰¹² us²²⁵⁷, that³³⁶³ they⁵⁰⁴⁸ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ us²²⁵⁷ should⁵⁰⁴⁸ not³³⁶³ be made perfect⁵⁰⁴⁸
