For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.

Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises.

let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full assurance of faith, having been sprinkled as to our hearts from an evil conscience,

My righteous man shall live by faith: and if he may draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

But we are not of the drawing back unto perdition; but of faith unto the salvation of the soul.

But faith is the confidence of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

By faith we understand that the worlds were created by the word of God, and that which was seen was not made from things which are manifest.

By faith Abel offered up to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received the witness that he was righteous, God witnessing to his gifts: and through it he having died is still speaking.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found because God translated him. For before he was translated he had the witness of the Spirit, that he pleased God:

but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out.

By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith.

By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise:

And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: and the one having received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each one of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, on the hilt of his staff.

By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the exodus of the children of Israel; and commanded concerning his own bones.

By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and did not fear the commandment of the king.

By faith Moses, having become an adult, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one.

By faith he instituted the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one destroying the first-born might not touch them.

By faith they pass through the Red sea as through dry land: the undertaking of which the Egyptians having entered upon were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encompassed about seven days,

By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace.

who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,

And all these, having received the witness of the spirit through faith, did not obtain the promise:

looking unto Jesus the beginner and perfecter of our faith; who for the joy that was placed before him, endured the cross, looking with contempt at the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God: the outgoing of whose deportment seeing, imitate their faith.
