| 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: |
| 11:32 | 我又何必再說呢．若要一一細說、基甸、巴拉、參孫、耶弗他、大衛、撒母耳、和眾先知的事、時候就不彀了。 |
| 11:32 | 我又何必再说呢。若一一细说，基甸，巴拉，叁孙，耶弗他，大卫，撒母耳，和众先知的事，时候就不够了。 |
| jug:6:11 | And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. |
| jug:4:6 | And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? |
| jug:13:24 | And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. |
| jug:11:1 | Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah. |
| 1sa:16:13 | Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. |
| 1sa:17:23 | And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them. |
| 1sa:17:36 | Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. |
| 1sa:17:37 | David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. |
| 1sa:17:45 | Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. |
| 1sa:17:46 | This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. |
| 1sa:17:47 | And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands. |
| 1sa:17:49 | And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. |
| 1sa:17:50 | So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. |
| 1sa:17:51 | Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. |
| 1sa:1:20 | Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD. |
| 1sa:12:20 | And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; |
| COBL | |
| 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. |
