| 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. |
| 11:34 | 滅了烈火的猛勢、脫了刀劍的鋒刃、軟弱變為剛強、爭戰顯出勇敢、打退外邦的全軍。 |
| 11:34 | 灭了烈火的猛势，脱了刀剑的锋刃，软弱变为刚强，争战显出勇敢，打退外邦的全军。 |
| dan:3:19 | Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. |
| dan:3:20 | And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. |
| dan:3:25 | He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. |
| dan:3:26 | Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. |
| dan:3:27 | And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. |
| exo:18:4 | And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh: |
| 1sa:18:11 | And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. |
| jug:7:19 | So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. |
| jug:7:20 | And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. |
| jug:7:21 | And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. |
| jug:7:22 | And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. |

| 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. |
