For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared a box-shaped vessel for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>By faith, he sojourned in a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>By faith, even barren Sarah herself received power to conceive when she was past age, and gave birth, since she considered him faithful who had promised. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac; and he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed down over the top of his staff. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>considering the abuse suffered for the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>By faith, Rahab the prostitute, did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>And what more should I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/hebrews/11-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were put to the test, they were killed with the sword.
