Heb 11:1 Now faith is a sure hope, a conviction about what is not seen;
Heb 11:2 this is what the elders were known for.
Heb 11:3 By faith we grasp that the ages have been completed by the declaration of God, such that the hidden has become obvious.
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel brought a better sacrifice to God than Cain did; he was justified in God’s sight because of his offerings. Even though he is dead, he still speaks through this.
Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not experience death; he was not found because God took him away. Before this, he was known to have pleased God.
Heb 11:6 Now apart from faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being given divine revelation about what was not yet seen, paid attention and fully equipped the ark for the rescue of his household, through which he condemned the world and became an heir of justice.
Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed the call to leave for a place he would later inherit, without even knowing where he was going.
Heb 11:9 By faith he traveled into the promised land as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, joint heirs of the same promise.
Heb 11:10 He waited for the city with foundations whose designer and architect is God.
Heb 11:11 By faith Sarah herself, although she was unable to have children, also took hold of the power of the first installment on her descendants, because even though she was well past her prime, she considered the One making the authoritative teaching to be faithful.
Heb 11:12 So these children all came from one who was beyond hope of having children; they are as innumerable as the constellations of the heavens, and as uncountable as the sand on the seashore.
Heb 11:13 These all died still believing, without having received the promises, but seeing them from a distance and looking forward to them. They spoke openly about their being strangers and exiles on the earth.
Heb 11:14 For those who speak like this admit that they seek their own country.
Heb 11:15 Of course, they remember the place they left and have every opportunity to return.
Heb 11:16 But instead, they long for a better one— a heavenly one. That’s why God is not ashamed of them or to be called their God, and he prepared a city for them.
Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham tried to sacrifice Isaac; he who received the promises was trying to sacrifice his only son,
Heb 11:18 the one about whom it was said, “Descendants will come from you through Isaac.”
Heb 11:19 But Abraham determined that God was able to raise the dead, and in a way, he really did.
Heb 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau about what was to come.
Heb 11:21 By faith Jacob, who was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped while leaning on his staff.
Heb 11:22 By faith Joseph, near the end of his life, remembered about the exodus of Israel and gave instructions about his bones.
Heb 11:23 By faith the parents of Moses hid him for his first three months, because they saw that the child was gifted, and they did not fear the king’s decree.
Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he grew up, disowned himself from being called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Heb 11:25 preferring to be mistreated with the people of God rather than enjoying a temporary life of ease.
Heb 11:26 He considered the shame of the Anointed to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, because he looked forward to the reward.
Heb 11:27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s fury, because he confidently perceived the invisible.
Heb 11:28 By faith he made the Passover and spread blood on the door jambs so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them.
Heb 11:29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as though it were dry land; the Egyptians were drowned when they tried it.
Heb 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell after being surrounded for seven days.
Heb 11:31 By faith the prostitute Rahab was not killed along with the disbelieving, because she welcomed the spies in peace.
Heb 11:32 And what more can I say? I don’t have time to tell everything about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephtha, and David, let alone Samuel and all the prophets,
Heb 11:33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, brought about justice, saw the fulfillment of promises, closed the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 extinguished the power of fire, got away from the edge of the sword, were empowered out of weakness, became strong in battle, routed the encampments of foreigners,
Heb 11:35 and women received their loved ones resurrected from the dead. Yet on the other hand, others were beaten to death, not expecting to be delivered, so that they might come to a better resurrection.
Heb 11:36 Still others went through a trial of being mocked and scourged, some were bound and jailed.
Heb 11:37 They were stoned to death, they were cut and killed with the sword, they wandered around in sheepskins and goatskins, needy and harassed and mistreated—
Heb 11:38 the world was not worthy of them! They wandered in the wilderness and the mountains, in caves and holes in the ground.
Heb 11:39 None of these, though they were all confirmed by faith, were rewarded with the promise of God concerning us.
Heb 11:40 They were looking forward to something better, so that they would not be complete without us.

Heb 11:1 εστιν δε πιστις ελπιζομενων ὑποστασις πραγματων ελεγχος ου βλεπομενων
Heb 11:2 εν ταυτη γαρ εμαρτυρηθησαν οἱ πρεσβυτεροι
Heb 11:3 πιστει νοουμεν κατηρτισθαι τους αιωνας ῥηματι θεου εις το μη εκ φαινομενων το βλεπομενον γεγονεναι

Heb 11:5 πιστει ἑνωχ μετετεθη του μη ιδειν θανατον και ουχ ηὑρισκετο διοτι μετεθηκεν αυτον ὁ θεος προ γαρ της μεταθεσεως αυτου μεμαρτυρηται ευαρεστηκεναι τω θεω
Heb 11:6 χωρις δε πιστεως αδυνατον ευαρεστησαι πιστευσαι γαρ δει τον προσερχομενον τω θεω ὁτι εστιν και τοις εκζητουσιν αυτον μισθαποδοτης γινεται
Heb 11:7 πιστει χρηματισθεις νωε περι των μηδεπω βλεπομενων ευλαβηθεις κατεσκευασμενον κιβωτον εις σωτηριαν του οικου αυτου δι᾽ ἡς κατεκρινεν τον κοσμον και της κατα πιστιν δικαιοσυνην εγενετο κληρονομος
Heb 11:8 πιστει καλουμενος αβρααμ ὑπηκουσεν εξελθειν εις τον τοπον ὁν ημελλεν λαμβανειν εις κληρονομιαν και εξηλθεν μη επισταμενος που ερχεται
Heb 11:9 πιστει παρωκησεν εις γην της επαγγελιαν ὡς αλλοτριαν εν σκηναις κατοικησας μετα ισαακ και ιακωβ των συγκληρονομων της επαγγελιαν της αυτης
Heb 11:10 εξεδεχετο γαρ την τους θεμελιους εχουσαν πολιν ἡς τεχνιτης και δημιουργος ὁ θεος
Heb 11:11 πιστει και αυτη σαρρα στειρα δυναμιν εις καταβολην σπερματος ελαβεν και παρα καιρον ἡλικιας ετεκεν επει πιστον ἡγησατο τον επαγγειλαμενος
Heb 11:12 διο και αφ᾽ ἑνος εγεννηθησαν και ταυτα νενεκρωμενου καθως τα αστρα του ουρανου τω πληθει και ὡς ἡ αμμος ἡ παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης ἡ αναριθμητος
Heb 11:13 κατα πιστιν απεθανον οὑτοι παντες μη λαβοντες τας επαγγελιαν αλλα πορρωθεν αυτας ιδοντες και ασπασαμενοι και ὁμολογησαντες ὁτι ξενοι και παρεπιδημοι εισιν επι της γης
Heb 11:14 οἱ γαρ τοιαυτα λεγοντες εμφανιζουσιν ὁτι πατριδα επιζητουσιν
Heb 11:15 και ει. μεν εκεινης εμνημονευον αφ᾽ ἡς εξεβησαν ειχον αν καιρον ανακαμψαι
Heb 11:16 νυν δε κρειττονος ορεγονται τουτ᾽ εστιν επουρανιου διο ουκ επαισχυνεται αυτους ὁ θεος θεος επικαλεισθαι αυτων ητοιμασεν γαρ αυτοις πολιν
Heb 11:17 πιστει προσενηνοχεν αβρααμ τον ισαακ πειραζομενος και τον μονογενη προσεφερεν ὁ τας επαγγελιαν επαγγελιαν αναδεξαμενος
Heb 11:18 προς ὁν ελαληθη ὁτι εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
Heb 11:19 λογισαμενος ὁτι και εκ νεκρων εγειρειν δυνατος ὁ θεος ὁθεν αυτον και εν παραβολη εκομισατο
Heb 11:20 πιστει και περι μελλοντων ευλογησεν ισαακ τον ιακωβ και τον ησαυ
Heb 11:21 πιστει ιακωβ αποθνησκων ἑκαστον των υἱων ιωσηφ ευλογησεν και προσεκυνησεν επι το ακρον της ῥαβδου αυτου
Heb 11:22 πιστει ιωσηφ τελευτων περι της εξοδου των υἱων ισραηλ εμνημονευσεν και περι των οστεων αυτου ενετειλατο
Heb 11:23 πιστει μωϋσης γεννηθεις εκρυβη τριμηνον ὑπο των πατερων αυτου διοτι ειδον αστειον το παιδιον και ουκ εφοβηθησαν το διαταγμα του βασιλεως
Heb 11:24 πιστει μωϋσης μεγας γενομενος ηρνησατο λεγεσθαι υἱος θυγατρος φαραω
Heb 11:25 μαλλον ἑλομενος συγκακουχεισθαι τω λαω του θεου η προσκαιρον εχειν ἁμαρτιας απολαυσιν
Heb 11:26 μειζονα πλουτον ἡγησαμενος των αιγυπτου θησαυρων τον ονειδισμον του χριστου απεβλεπεν γαρ εις την μισθαποδοσιαν
Heb 11:27 πιστει κατελιπεν αιγυπτον μη φοβηθεις τον θυμον του βασιλεως τον γαρ αορατον ὡς ὁρων εκαρτερησεν
Heb 11:28 πιστει πεποιηκεν το πασχα και την προσχυσιν του αἱματος ἱνα μη ὁ ολοθρευων τα πρωτοτοκα θιγη αυτων
Heb 11:29 πιστει διεβησαν την ερυθραν θαλασσαν ὡς δια ξηρας γης ἡς πειραν λαβοντες οἱ αιγυπτιοι κατεποθησαν
Heb 11:30 πιστει τα τειχη ιεριχω επεσεν κυκλωθεντα επι ἑπτα ἡμερας
Heb 11:31 πιστει ῥααβ ἡ πορνη ου συναπωλετο τοις απειθησασιν δεξαμενη τους κατασκοπους μετ᾽ ειρηνης
Heb 11:32 και τι ετι λεγω επιλειψει με γαρ διηγουμενον ὁ χρονος περι γεδεων βαρακ σαμψων ιεφθαε δαυιδ τε και σαμουηλ και των προφητων
Heb 11:33 οἱ δια πιστεως κατηγωνισαντο βασιλειας ειργασαντο δικαιοσυνην επετυχον επαγγελιων εφραξαν στοματα λεοντων
Heb 11:34 εσβεσαν δυναμιν πυρος εφυγον στοματα μαχαιρης ενδυναμωθησαν απο ασθενειας εγενηθησαν ισχυροι εν πολεμω παρεμβολας εκλιναν αλλοτριων
Heb 11:35 ελαβον γυναικες εξ αναστασεως τους νεκρους αυτων αλλοι δε ετυμπανισθησαν ου προσδεξαμενοι την απολυτρωσιν ἱνα κρειττονος αναστασεως τυχωσιν
Heb 11:36 ἑτεροι δε εμπαιγμων και μαστιγων πειραν ελαβον ετι δε δεσμων και φυλακης
Heb 11:37 ελιθασθησαν επρισθησαν εν φονω μαχαιρας απεθανον περιηλθον εν μηλωταις εν αιγειοις δερμασιν ὑστερουμεθα θλιβομενοι κακουχουμενοι
Heb 11:38 ὡν ουκ ην αξιος ὁ κοσμος ετι ερημιαις πλανωμενοι και ορεσιν και σπηλαιοις και ταις οπαις της γης
Heb 11:39 και οὑτοι παντες μαρτυρηθεντες δια της πιστεως ουκ εκομισαντο την επαγγελιαν
Heb 11:40 του θεου περι ἡμων κρειττον τι προβλεψαμενου ἱνα μη χωρις ἡμων τελειωθωσιν
