Hebrews - Chapter: 11


11:1	Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
11:2	For by it the elders obtained a good report.
11:3	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.
11:4	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.
11:5	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.
11:6	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.
11:7	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.
11:8	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.
11:9	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:
11:10	For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11:11	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.
11:12	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.
11:13	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.
11:14	For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
11:15	And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
11:16	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.
11:17	By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son.
11:18	Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
11:19	Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
11:20	By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
11:21	By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
11:22	By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
11:23	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.
11:24	By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
11:25	Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
11:26	Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
11:27	By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
11:28	Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
11:29	By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
11:30	By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
11:31	By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
11:32	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:
11:33	Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
11:34	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.
11:35	Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
11:36	And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
11:37	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;
11:38	(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
11:39	And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
11:40	God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.


11:1	Now faith is the grounds of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.
11:2	For by it our elders were well reported of.
11:3	Through faith we vnderstand that the world was ordeined by the worde of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appeare.
11:4	By faith Abel offered vnto God a greater sacrifice then Cain, by the which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh.
11:5	By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God.
11:6	But without faith it is vnpossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him.
11:7	By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene, mooued with reuerence, prepared the Arke to the sauing of his housholde, through the which Arke hee condemned the world, and was made heire of the righteousnes, which is by faith.
11:8	By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to goe out into a place, which hee should afterward receiue for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
11:9	By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange countrey, as one that dwelt in tents with Isaac and Iacob heires with him of the same promise.
11:10	For he looked for a citie hauing a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.
11:11	Through faith Sara also receiued strength to conceiue seede, and was deliuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faithfull which had promised.
11:12	And therefore sprang there of one, euen of one which was dead, so many as the starres of the skie in multitude, and as the land of the sea shore which is innumerable.
11:13	All these died in faith, and receiued not the promises, but sawe them a farre off, and beleeued them, and receiued them thankefully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
11:14	For they that say such things, declare plainely, that they seeke a countrey.
11:15	And if they had bene mindfull of that countrey, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned.
11:16	But nowe they desire a better, that is an heauenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.
11:17	By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne.
11:18	(To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seede be called.)
11:19	For he considered that God was able to raise him vp euen from the dead: from whence he receiued him also after a sort.
11:20	By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concerning things to come.
11:21	By faith Iacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, and leaning on the ende of his staffe, worshipped God.

11:24	By faith Moses when he was come to age, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaohs daughter,
11:25	And chose rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of sinnes for a season,
11:26	Esteeming the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect vnto the recompence of the reward.
11:27	By faith he forsooke Egypt, and feared not the fiercenes of the king: for he endured, as he that sawe him which is inuisible.
11:28	Through faith he ordeined the Passeouer and the effusion of blood, least he that destroyed the first borne, should touche them.

11:33	Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined the promises, stopped the mouthes of lions,
11:34	Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sworde, of weake were made strong, waxed valiant in battell, turned to flight the armies of the aliants.
11:35	The women receiued their dead raised to life: other also were racked, and woulde not be deliuered, that they might receiue a better resurrection.
11:36	And others haue bene tryed by mockings and scourgings, yea, moreouer by bondes and prisonment.
11:37	They were stoned, they were hewen asunder, they were tempted, they were slaine with the sworde, they wandred vp and downe in sheepes skinnes, and in goates skinnes, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented:
11:38	Whom the world was not worthie of: they wandered in wildernesses and mountaines, and dennes, and caues of the earth.
11:39	And these all through faith obteined good report, and receiued not the promise,
11:40	God prouiding a better thing for vs, that they without vs should not be made perfite.


11:1	Fayth is a sure confidence of thynges which are hoped for and a certayntie of thynges which are not sene.

11:6	but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him.
11:7	By fayth Noe honored God after that he was warned of thinges which were not sene and prepared the arcke to the savinge of his houssholde thorowe the which arcke he condempned the worlde and became heyre of the rightewesnes which commeth by fayth.

11:10	For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacio whose bylder and maker is God.
11:11	Thorow fayth Sara also receaved stregth to be with chylde and was delivered of a chylde when she was past age because she iudged him faythfull which had promysed.
11:12	And therfore spronge therof one (and of one which was as good as deed) so many in multitude as the starres of ye skye and as the sond of the see shore which is innumerable.
11:13	And they all dyed in fayth and receaved not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of and beleved them and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.
11:14	They that saye soche thinges declare that they seke a coutre.
11:15	Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne.
11:16	But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.

11:24	By fayth Moses when he was great refused to be called ye sonne of Pharaos doughter
11:25	and chose rather to suffre adversitie wt the people of God then to enioye the pleasurs of synne for a ceason
11:26	and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater ryches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect vnto ye rewarde.
11:27	By fayth he forsoke Egypt and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured even as he had sene him which is invisible.
11:28	Thorow fayth he ordeyned the ester lambe and the effusion of bloud lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne shuld touche them.
11:29	By fayth they passed thorow the reed see as by drye londe which when the Egypcians had assayed to do they were drouned.

11:33	which thorowe fayth subdued kyngdomes wrought righteousnes obteyned the promyses stopped the mouthes of lyons
11:34	queched the violence of fyre escaped the edge of the swearde of weake were made stroge waxed valient in fight turned to flyght the armyes of the alientes.
11:35	And the wemen receaved their deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked and wolde not be delyvered that they myght receave a better resurreccion.
11:36	Other tasted of mockynges and scourginginges morover of bondes and presonmet:
