For the Good News is come to us just as it did to them. But the message they heard was of no benefit to them, because they did not share the faith of those who gave heed to it.

of faith in God, of the teaching regarding ablutions and the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.

that by means of two immutable things??is promise and his oath??n which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.

let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled from and evil conscience, and our bodies bathed in pure water.

But it is by faith that my Righteous One will live, And if he draws back, my soul takes no pleasure in him.

"But we are not of defections unto perdition, but of faith unto the gaining of the soul."

Now faith is the title-deed of things hoped for; the putting to the proof of things not seen.

By faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the Word of God, so that what we see was not made out of what is visible.

By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.

By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. Before his translation he had witness borne to him that he pleased God.

now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking.

By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith.

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

It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise.

By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, although she was past the age for child-bearing, because she counted Him faithful who had promised;

These all died in faith, not having yet received the promises; nay, but they saw them from afar, and hailed them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son,

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

By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel, and gave instructions in regard to his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's decree.

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

By faith he left Egypt, not because he feared the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

By faith he established the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood, in order that the Destroying Angel might not touch the firstborn.

By faith the people crossed over the Red Sea as on dry land; and when the Egyptians tried to do this they were swallowed up.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days.

By faith Rahab, the harlot, perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.

who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

Yet, though these all had witness borne to them by their faith, they received not the promise;

looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

Remember your leaders, the men who spoke the message of God to you; consider the issue of their lives, and imitate their faith.
