For unto us was it declared, as well as unto them. But it profited not them that they heard the word, because they which heard it coupled it not with faith.

Wherefore, let us leave the doctrine pertaining to the beginning of a Christian man, and let us go unto perfection, and now no more lay the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

that ye faint not, but follow them which through faith and patience inherit the promises.

let us draw nigh with a true heart in a full faith sprinkled in our hearts, from an evil conscience, and washed in our bodies with pure water,

But the just shall live by faith. And if he withdraw himself, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

We are not which withdraw ourselves unto damnation, but pertain to faith, to the winning of the soul.

Faith is a sure confidence of things which are hoped for, and a certainty of things which are not seen.

Through faith we understand that the world was ordained, by the word of God: and that things which are seen, were made of things which are not seen.

By faith, Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh.

By faith was Enoch translated that he should not see death; neither was he found, for God had taken him away. Before he was taken away, he was reported of that he had pleased God.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: For he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him.

By faith Noah honoured God, after that he was warned of things which were not seen, and prepared the ark to the saving of his household, through the which ark he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which cometh by faith.

By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out into a place which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he should go.

By faith he removed into the land that was promised him, as into a strange country, and dwelt in tabernacles: and so did Isaac, and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

Through faith Sarah also received strength to be with child, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised.

And they all died in faith, and received not the promises: but saw them afar off, and believed them, and saluted them: and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only begotten son, which had received the promises:

In faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, as concerning things to come.

By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself toward the top of his scepter.

By faith Joseph, when he died, remembered the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his father and mother, because they saw he was a proper child: neither feared they the king's commandment.

By faith Moses, when he was of a great age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the king. For he endured, even as he had seen him which is invisible.

Through faith he ordained the Easter lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them.

By faith they passed through the reed sea as by dry land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to do, they were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about, seven days.

By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with unbelievers, when she had received the spies to lodging peaceably.

which through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

And these all, through faith, obtained good report, and received not the promise;

looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the righthand of the throne of God.

Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: consider the conversation of their living, the end of whose conversation see that ye look upon, and follow their faith.
