Examples Of Faith In Action

32 And what shall I say further? For the time would fail me telling about Gideon, also Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who, through faith, conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the force of fire, escaped the jaw of the sword. Out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, bowed down armies of aliens.
