Chapter 11
Hebr CPDV 11:1  Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not apparent.
Hebr CPDV 11:2  For this reason, the ancients were given testimony.
Hebr CPDV 11:3  By faith, we understand the world to be fashioned by the Word of God, so that the visible might be made by the invisible.
Hebr CPDV 11:4  By faith, Abel offered to God a much better sacrifice than that of Cain, through which he obtained testimony that he was just, in that God offered testimony to his gifts. And through that sacrifice, he still speaks to us, though he is dead.
Hebr CPDV 11:5  By faith, Enoch was transferred, so that he would not see death, and he was not found because God had transferred him. For before he was transferred, he had testimony that he pleased God.
Hebr CPDV 11:6  But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebr CPDV 11:7  By faith, Noah, having accepted an answer about those things which were not yet seen, being afraid, fashioned an ark for the salvation of his house. Through the ark, he condemned the world, and was established as the heir of the justice that occurs through faith.
Hebr CPDV 11:8  By faith, the one called Abraham obeyed, going out to the place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Hebr CPDV 11:9  By faith, he stayed in the Land of the Promise as if in a foreign land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise.
Hebr CPDV 11:10  For he was awaiting a city having firm foundations, whose designer and builder is God.
Hebr CPDV 11:11  By faith also, Sarah herself, being barren, received the ability to conceive offspring, even though she was past that age in life. For she believed him to be faithful, who had promised.
Hebr CPDV 11:12  Because of this, there were also born, from one who himself was as if dead, a multitude like the stars of heaven, who are, like the sand of the seashore, innumerable.
Hebr CPDV 11:13  All of these passed away, adhering to faith, not having received the promises, yet beholding them from afar and saluting them, and confessing themselves to be sojourners and guests upon the earth.
Hebr CPDV 11:14  For those who speak in this way are themselves indicating that they seek a homeland.
Hebr CPDV 11:15  And if, indeed, they had been mindful of the very place from which they departed, they certainly would have returned in time.
Hebr CPDV 11:16  But now they hunger for a better place, that is, Heaven. For this reason, God is not ashamed to be called their God. For he has prepared a city for them.
Hebr CPDV 11:17  By faith, Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac, so that he who had received the promises was offering up his only son.
Hebr CPDV 11:18  To him, it was said, “Through Isaac, shall your offspring be summoned,”
Hebr CPDV 11:19  indicating that God is even able to raise up from the dead. And thus, he also established him as a parable.
Hebr CPDV 11:20  By faith, also, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning future events.
Hebr CPDV 11:21  By faith, Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and he reverenced the summit of his rod.
Hebr CPDV 11:22  By faith, Joseph, as he was dying, recalled the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave a commandment concerning his bones.
Hebr CPDV 11:23  By faith, Moses, after being born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they had seen that he was a graceful infant, and they did not fear the king’s edict.
Hebr CPDV 11:24  By faith, Moses, after growing up, denied himself a place as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
Hebr CPDV 11:25  choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, rather than to have the pleasantness of sin for a time,
Hebr CPDV 11:26  valuing the reproach of Christ to be a greater wealth than the treasures of the Egyptians. For he looked forward to his reward.
Hebr CPDV 11:27  By faith, he abandoned Egypt, not dreading the animosity of the king. For he pressed on, as if seeing him who is unseen.
Hebr CPDV 11:28  By faith, he celebrated the Passover and the shedding of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them.
Hebr CPDV 11:29  By faith, they crossed the Red Sea, as if on dry land, yet when the Egyptians attempted it, they were swallowed up.
Hebr CPDV 11:30  By faith, the walls of Jericho collapsed, after being encircled for seven days.
Hebr CPDV 11:31  By faith, Rahab, the harlot, did not perish with the unbelievers, after receiving the spies with peace.
Hebr CPDV 11:32  And what should I say next? For time is not sufficient for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the Prophets:
Hebr CPDV 11:33  those who, by faith, conquered kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,
Hebr CPDV 11:34  extinguished the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered from infirmities, showed strength in battle, turned back the armies of foreigners.
Hebr CPDV 11:35  Women received their dead by means of resurrection. But others suffered severe punishment, not yet receiving redemption, so that they would find a better resurrection.
Hebr CPDV 11:36  Truly, others were tested by mocking and lashes, and moreover by chains and imprisonment.
Hebr CPDV 11:37  They were stoned; they were cut; they were tempted. With the slaughter of the sword, they were killed. They wandered about in sheepskin and in goatskin, in dire need, in anguish afflicted.
Hebr CPDV 11:38  Of them, the world was not worthy, wandering in solitude on mountains, in the caves and caverns of the earth.
Hebr CPDV 11:39  And all these, having been proven by the testimony of faith, did not receive the Promise.
Hebr CPDV 11:40  God’s Providence holds something better for us, so that not without us would they be perfected.
