Hebrews 11:1-37

11:1

Now
<1161>

faith
<4102>

is
<2076> (5748)

the substance
<5287>

of things hoped for
<1679> (5746)_,

the evidence
<1650>

of things
<4229>

not
<3756>

seen
<991> (5746)_.

{substance: or, ground, or, confidence}

11:2

For
<1063>

by
<1722>

it
<5026>

the elders
<4245>

obtained a good report
<3140> (5681)_.

11:3

Through faith
<4102>

we understand
<3539> (5719)

that the worlds
<165>

were framed
<2675> (5771)

by the word
<4487>

of God
<2316>_,

so
<1519>

that things which
<3588>

are seen
<991> (5746)

were
<1096> (0)

not
<3361>

made
<1096> (5755)

of
<1537>

things which do appear
<5316> (5730)_.

11:4

By faith
<4102>

Abel
<6>

offered
<4374> (5656)

unto God
<2316>

a more excellent
<4119>

sacrifice
<2378>

than
<3844>

Cain
<2535>_,

by
<1223>

which
<3739>

he obtained witness
<3140> (5681)

that he was
<1511> (5750)

righteous
<1342>_,

God
<2316>

testifying
<3140> (5723)

of
<1909>

his
<846>

gifts
<1435>_:

and
<2532>

by
<1223>

it
<846>

he being dead
<599> (5631)

yet
<2089>

speaketh
<2980> (5731) (5625) <2980> (5719)_.

{yet...: or, is yet spoken of}

11:5

By faith
<4102>

Enoch
<1802>

was translated
<3346> (5681)

that he should
<1492> (0)

not
<3361>

see
<1492> (5629)

death
<2288>_;

and
<2532>

was
<2147> (0)

not
<3756>

found
<2147> (5712)_,

because
<1360>

God
<2316>

had translated
<3346> (5656)

him
<846>_:

for
<1063>

before
<4253>

his
<846>

translation
<3331>

he had this testimony
<3140> (5769)_,

that he pleased
<2100> (5760)

God
<2316>_.

11:6

But
<1161>

without
<5565>

faith
<4102>

[it is] impossible
<102>

to please
<2100> (5658)

[him]: for
<1063>

he that cometh
<4334> (5740)

to God
<2316>

must
<1163> (5748)

believe
<4100> (5658)

that
<3754>

he is
<2076> (5748)_,

and
<2532>

[that] he is
<1096> (5736)

a rewarder
<3406>

of them that diligently seek
<1567> (5723)

him
<846>_.

11:7

By faith
<4102>

Noah
<3575>_,

being warned of God
<5537> (5685)

of
<4012>

things not
<3369> (0)

seen
<991> (5746)

as yet
<3369>_,

moved with fear
<2125> (5685)_,

prepared
<2680> (5656)

an ark
<2787>

to
<1519>

the saving
<4991>

of his
<846>

house
<3624>_;

by
<1223>

the which
<3739>

he condemned
<2632> (5656)

the world
<2889>_,

and
<2532>

became
<1096> (5633)

heir
<2818>

of the righteousness
<1343>

which is by
<2596>

faith
<4102>_.

{moved...: or, being wary}

11:8

By faith
<4102>

Abraham
<11>_,

when he was called
<2564> (5746)

to go out
<1831> (5629)

into
<1519>

a place
<5117>

which
<3739>

he should after
<3195> (5707)

receive
<2983> (5721)

for
<1519>

an inheritance
<2817>_,

obeyed
<5219> (5656)_;

and
<2532>

he went out
<1831> (5627)_,

not
<3361>

knowing
<1987> (5740)

whither
<4226>

he went
<2064> (5736)_.

11:9

By faith
<4102>

he sojourned
<3939> (5656)

in
<1519>

the land
<1093>

of promise
<1860>_,

as
<5613>

[in] a strange country
<245>_,

dwelling
<2730> (5660)

in
<1722>

tabernacles
<4633>

with
<3326>

Isaac
<2464>

and
<2532>

Jacob
<2384>_,

the heirs with him
<4789>

of the same
<846>

promise
<1860>_:

11:10

For
<1063>

he looked for
<1551> (5711)

a city
<4172>

which hath
<2192> (5723)

foundations
<2310>_,

whose
<3739>

builder
<5079>

and
<2532>

maker
<1217>

[is] God
<2316>_.

11:11

Through faith
<4102>

also
<2532>

Sara
<4564>

herself
<846>

received
<2983> (5627)

strength
<1411>

to
<1519>

conceive
<2602>

seed
<4690>_,

and
<2532>

was delivered of a child
<5088> (5627)

when she was past
<3844>

age
<2540> <2244>_,

because
<1893>

she judged
<2233> (5662)

him faithful
<4103>

who had promised
<1861> (5666)_.

11:12

Therefore
<1352>

sprang there
<1080> (5681)

even
<2532>

of
<575>

one
<1520>_,

and
<2532>

him
<5023>

as good as dead
<3499> (5772)_,

[so many] as
<2531>

the stars
<798>

of the sky
<3772>

in multitude
<4128>_,

and
<2532>

as
<5616>

the sand
<285>

which
<3588>

is by
<3844>

the sea
<2281>

shore
<5491>

innumerable
<382>_.

11:13

These
<3778>

all
<3956>

died
<599> (5627)

in
<2596>

faith
<4102>_,

not
<3361>

having received
<2983> (5631)

the promises
<1860>_,

but
<235>

having seen
<1492> (5631)

them
<846>

afar off
<4207>_,

and
<2532>

were persuaded of
<3982> (5685)

[them], and
<2532>

embraced
<782> (5666)

[them], and
<2532>

confessed
<3670> (5660)

that
<3754>

they were
<1526> (5748)

strangers
<3581>

and
<2532>

pilgrims
<3927>

on
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_.

{in faith: Gr. according to faith}

11:14

For
<1063>

they that say
<3004> (5723)

such things
<5108>

declare plainly
<1718> (5719)

that
<3754>

they seek
<1934> (5719)

a country
<3968>_.

11:15

And
<2532>

truly
<3303>_,

if
<1487>

they had been mindful
<3421> (5707)

of that
<1565>

[country] from
<575>

whence
<3739>

they came out
<1831> (5627)_,

they might
<302>

have had
<2192> (5707)

opportunity
<2540>

to have returned
<344> (5658)_.

11:16

But
<1161>

now
<3570>

they desire
<3713> (5734)

a better
<2909>

[country], that is
<5123> (5748)_,

an heavenly
<2032>_:

wherefore
<1352>

God
<2316>

is
<1870> (0)

not
<3756>

ashamed
<1870> (5736) <846>

to be called
<1941> (5745)

their
<846>

God
<2316>_:

for
<1063>

he hath prepared
<2090> (5656)

for them
<846>

a city
<4172>_.

11:17

By faith
<4102>

Abraham
<11>_,

when he was tried
<3985> (5746)_,

offered up
<4374> (5754)

Isaac
<2464>_:

and
<2532>

he that had received
<324> (5666)

the promises
<1860>

offered up
<4374> (5707)

his only begotten
<3439>

[son],

11:18

Of
<4314>

whom
<3739>

it was said
<2980> (5681)_,

That
<3754>

in
<1722>

Isaac
<2464>

shall
<2564> (0)

thy
<4671>

seed
<4690>

be called
<2564> (5701)_:

{of: or, to}

11:19

Accounting
<3049> (5666)

that
<3754>

God
<2316>

[was] able
<1415>

to raise [him] up
<1453> (5721)_,

even
<2532>

from
<1537>

the dead
<3498>_;

from whence
<3606>

also
<2532>

he received
<2865> (5668)

him
<846>

in
<1722>

a figure
<3850>_.

11:20

By faith
<4102>

Isaac
<2464>

blessed
<2127> (5656)

Jacob
<2384>

and
<2532>

Esau
<2269>

concerning
<4012>

things to come
<3195> (5723)_.

11:21

By faith
<4102>

Jacob
<2384>_,

when he was a dying
<599> (5723)_,

blessed
<2127> (5656)

both
<1538>

the sons
<5207>

of Joseph
<2501>_;

and
<2532>

worshipped
<4352> (5656)_,

[leaning] upon
<1909>

the top
<206>

of his
<846>

staff
<4464>_.

11:22

By faith
<4102>

Joseph
<2501>_,

when he died
<5053> (5723)_,

made mention
<3421> (5656)

of
<4012>

the departing
<1841>

of the children
<5207>

of Israel
<2474>_;

and
<2532>

gave commandment
<1781> (5662)

concerning
<4012>

his
<846>

bones
<3747>_.

{made...: or, remembered}

11:23

By faith
<4102>

Moses
<3475>_,

when he was born
<1080> (5685)_,

was hid
<2928> (5648)

three months
<5150>

of
<5259>

his
<846>

parents
<3962>_,

because
<1360>

they saw
<1492> (5627)

[he was] a proper
<791>

child
<3813>_;

and
<2532>

they were
<5399> (0)

not
<3756>

afraid
<5399> (5675)

of the king's
<935>

commandment
<1297>_.

11:24

By faith
<4102>

Moses
<3475>_,

when he was come
<1096> (5637)

to years
<3173>_,

refused
<720> (5662)

to be called
<3004> (5745)

the son
<5207>

of Pharaoh's
<5328>

daughter
<2364>_;

11:25

Choosing
<138> (5642)

rather
<3123>

to suffer affliction
<4778> (5738)

with the people
<2992>

of God
<2316>_,

than
<2228>

to enjoy the pleasures
<2192> (5721) <619>

of sin
<266>

for a season
<4340>_;

11:26

Esteeming
<2233> (0)

the reproach
<3680>

of Christ
<5547>

greater
<3187>

riches
<4149>

than
<2233> (5666)

the treasures
<2344>

in
<1722>

Egypt
<125>_:

for
<1063>

he had respect
<578> (5707)

unto
<1519>

the recompence of the reward
<3405>_.

{of Christ: or, for Christ}

11:27

By faith
<4102>

he forsook
<2641> (5627)

Egypt
<125>_,

not
<3361>

fearing
<5399> (5679)

the wrath
<2372>

of the king
<935>_:

for
<1063>

he endured
<2594> (5656)_,

as
<5613>

seeing
<3708> (5723)

him who is invisible
<517>_.

11:28

Through faith
<4102>

he kept
<4160> (5758)

the passover
<3957>_,

and
<2532>

the sprinkling
<4378>

of blood
<129>_,

lest
<3363>

he that destroyed
<3645> (5723)

the firstborn
<4416>

should touch
<2345> (5632)

them
<846>_.

11:29

By faith
<4102>

they passed through
<1224> (5627)

the Red
<2063>

sea
<2281>

as
<5613>

by
<1223>

dry
<3584>

[land]: which
<3739>

the Egyptians
<124>

assaying
<3984>

to do
<2983> (5631)

were drowned
<2666> (5681)_.

11:30

By faith
<4102>

the walls
<5038>

of Jericho
<2410>

fell down
<4098> (5627)_,

after they were compassed
<2944> (5685)

about
<1909>

seven
<2033>

days
<2250>_.

11:31

By faith
<4102>

the harlot
<4204>

Rahab
<4460>

perished
<4881> (5639)

not
<3756>

with them that believed not
<544> (5660)_,

when she had received
<1209> (5666)

the spies
<2685>

with
<3326>

peace
<1515>_.

{that...: or, that were disobedient}

11:32

And
<2532>

what
<5101>

shall I
<3004> (0)

more
<2089>

say
<3004> (5725)_?

for
<1063>

the time
<5550>

would fail
<1952> (5692)

me
<3165>

to tell
<1334> (5740)

of
<4012>

Gedeon
<1066>_,

and
<5037>

[of] Barak
<913>_,

and
<2532>

[of] Samson
<4546>_,

and
<2532>

[of] Jephthae
<2422>_;

[of] David
<1138>

also
<2532>_,

and
<5037>

Samuel
<4545>_,

and
<2532>

[of] the prophets
<4396>_:

11:33

Who
<3739>

through
<1223>

faith
<4102>

subdued
<2610> (5662)

kingdoms
<932>_,

wrought
<2038> (5662)

righteousness
<1343>_,

obtained
<2013> (5627)

promises
<1860>_,

stopped
<5420> (5656)

the mouths
<4750>

of lions
<3023>_,

11:34

Quenched
<4570> (5656)

the violence
<1411>

of fire
<4442>_,

escaped
<5343> (5627)

the edge
<4750>

of the sword
<3162>_,

out of
<575>

weakness
<769>

were made strong
<1743> (5681)_,

waxed
<1096> (5675)

valiant
<2478>

in
<1722>

fight
<4171>_,

turned to flight
<2827> (5656)

the armies
<3925>

of the aliens
<245>_.

11:35

Women
<1135>

received
<2983> (5627)

their
<846>

dead
<3498>

raised to life again
<1537> <386>_:

and
<1161>

others
<243>

were tortured
<5178> (5681)_,

not
<3756>

accepting
<4327> (5666)

deliverance
<629>_;

that
<2443>

they might obtain
<5177> (5632)

a better
<2909>

resurrection
<386>_:

11:36

And
<1161>

others
<2087>

had
<2983> (5627)

trial
<3984>

of [cruel] mockings
<1701>

and
<2532>

scourgings
<3148>_,

yea
<1161>_,

moreover
<2089>

of bonds
<1199>

and
<2532>

imprisonment
<5438>_:

11:37

They were stoned
<3034> (5681)_,

they were sawn asunder
<4249> (5681)_,

were tempted
<3985> (5681)_,

were slain
<599> (5627)

with
<1722>

the sword
<5408> <3162>_:

they wandered about
<4022> (5627)

in
<1722>

sheepskins
<3374>

and
<1722>

goatskins
<122> <1192>_;

being destitute
<5302> (5746)_,

afflicted
<2346> (5746)_,

tormented
<2558> (5746)_;
