By faith Enoch was translated without seeing death, and was not found because God translated him.

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. By faith he resided temporarily in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise; for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God. By faith also Sarah herself received power to become a mother, even beyond the usual age, because she regarded him faithful that promised. Wherefore also there were born of one, and those of one dead, [a posterity] like the stars of heaven for multitude, and like the sands on the sea-shore innumerable. All these died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen and saluted them from a distance, and having professed that they were foreigners and strangers on the earth. For those who say such things show that they seek a native country. And if they had remembered that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return; but now they seek a better, that is a heavenly [country]. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city. By faith Abraham when tried offered Isaac, and he that received the promises offered his only son, of whom it was said, In Isaac shall your posterity be called, judging that God was able to raise even from the dead; whence also in a figure he received him.

By faith Moses when he became a man refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a time, judging the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the displeasure of the king; for he endured as seeing him that is invisible. By faith he observed the passover and the pouring out of blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians attempting were swallowed up. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down when they had been surrounded seven days. By faith Rahab the harlot escaped destruction with the disobedient, having received the spies in peace. And why should I say more?
