For he did not subject to angels the world to come, of which we speak.

For both he that sanctifies and the sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold me and the children which God gave me.

For this man is judged worthy of more glory than Moses, as much as he has more honor than the house [tabernacle] which he built.

and there is nothing which is not manifest in his sight; for all things are naked and exposed to his eyes, to whom our discourse relates.

Concerning whom we have much to say, and that which is difficult to explain, because you have become dull of hearing.

For the law having a shadow of the good things that were to come, not the very likeness of the things, could not by the sacrifices which they offered continually every year perfect the offerers;

By faith Noah having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, fearing built the ark for the salvation of his house, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness by faith.

By faith Abraham being called obeyed and went out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out not knowing where he was going.

for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God.

And if they had remembered that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return;

By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up.
