By faith Abel offered to God more sacrifice than Cain; on account of which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he, though dead, yet speaks. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised. Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable. All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up, of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called: for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped on the top of his staff.

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible. By faith he kept the passover, and the affusion of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned.

For the time would fail me, were I to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel, and of the prophets, who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were beat to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection; others had trial of mockings and scourgings, bonds also, and imprisonments.

And all these, having obtained a good reputation by faith, received not the promise,
