\subsection{Hebrews 11}
\VS{1} But faith is the confidence of things hoped for, the inner-conviction of 
[things] not seen. 
\VS{2} For by this the elders were [well] testified. 
\VS{3} By faith we 
know eternity to be created by [the] word of God, in which the 
not-out-of-what-appears came what-is-seen. 
\VS{4} By faith Abel offered [a] 
greater sacrifice to God than Cain, through which he was witnessed to be 
just, God [well] testifying [about] his gifts, and through them [though] being dead, he yet speaks. 
\VS{5} By faith Enoch was changed so as to not see death, and God 
was not pleased [only] because he had changed him. 
\VS{6} For before the change he is witnessed to have been pleasing to God, 
for it is necessary for the coming [one] to believe in God, that he is, 
and that to those seeking him he becomes [a] rewarder. 
\VS{7} By faith Noah having been warned concerning 
[things] not yet seen, having been reverent, he built [an] ark for the rescue of his house, through which he condemned the world, and he became heir of the 
justice according to faith. 
\VS{8} By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to 
go out to [a] place which he was [about] to be receiving for [an] inheritance, and he went out not knowing where he goes. 
\VS{9} By faith he sojourned to the land of 
promise as [a] foreigner, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of 
the same promise. 
\VS{10} For they expected the city having foundation, whose maker and framer is God. 
\VS{11} By faith Sarah herself also received ability for sowing of seed 
even beyond the season\fnKairos{} of maturity\footnote{that is, past menopause}, because she regarded trustworthy the [one] having promised. 
\VS{12} Therefore even from one they came 
to be, and these from the nearly-dead, just as the stars of heaven in number 
and as sand by the shore of the sea innumerable. 
\VS{13} During faith these 
all died, not having obtained the promise, but seeing and greeting [it] from 
afar, and professing that they are strangers and exiles upon the land. 
\VS{14} For those saying such [things] reveal that they seek [a] native-land. 
\VS{15} And if on the one hand they remembered that from which they went 
forth, they had opportune-time\fnKairos{} to turn back. 
\VS{16} But on the other hand they aspire to [a] greater, 
that is, [a] heavenly. Therefore God was not ashamed to be 
called their God, for he has prepared for them [a] city. 
\VS{17} By faith 
Abraham offered Isaac, being tested, the [one] receiving the promise was offering 
his uniquely-begotten\fnMonogenes{} son\footnote{Note: Isaac was not Abraham's only son --- there was Ishmael (Gen 21). This must refer to Isaac's unique role as Abraham's son and not
just the simple biological fact of being Abraham's only son --- which he was not.}, 
\VS{18} towards whom it was said that: In Isaac will be called to you seed, 
\VS{19} reasoning that even from the dead [is] God able 
to raise [him], whence he was also in parable received. 
\VS{20} By faith also 
concerning those [about] to be, he blessed Isaac, Jacob and Esau. 
\VS{21} By faith 
Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped upon the 
top of his staff. 
\VS{22} By faith Moses having been born was hid three 
months by his fathers, because they saw he was [a] well-pleasing child, and did 
not fear the edict of the king. 
\VS{24} By faith when Moses became great, he 
refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh, 
\VS{25} rather 
having preferred to be mistreated with the people of God than to be having 
transitory enjoyment of sin, 
\VS{26} regarding the reproach of Christ 
greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt. For he was looking to the 
recompense. 
\VS{27} By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the 
king, for he held fast as though seeing the invisible. 
\VS{28} By faith he 
did the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the destroying 
angel not touch the first-born. 
\VS{29} By faith they passed through the Red 
Sea as through dry land, which, when they took the attempt, the Egyptians 
were swallowed up. 
\VS{30} By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having circled for seven days. 
\VS{31} By faith Rahab the prostitute was not 
destroyed with the disobedient, having received the spies with peace. 
\VS{32} And what do I still say? For time fails me relating concerning 
Gideon, Barach, Samson, Jeptha, David and Solomon and of the prophets, 
\VS{33} who through faith overcame kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained 
promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 
\VS{34} quenched the power of fire, 
fled the mouth of swords, were strengthened from weakness, became strong in 
war, turned other's armies to flight 
\VS{35} women received from resurrection their dead. But others were tortured, 
not receiving deliverance, in order that they obtain [a] greater resurrection; 
\VS{36} but others received the trial of mockings and floggings and yet of bonds and 
prison; 
\VS{37} they were stoned, they were tested, they were sawn [in two], they 
died by murder of [the] sword, they went around in sheepskins, in goatskins, 
being in lack, being distressed, being treated evil-ly, 
\VS{38} of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in wildernesses and mountains 
and caves and the holes of the land. 
\VS{39} And these all having witness born to them through faith, did not receive the promise, 
\VS{40} while God provided concerning you [a] greater [thing], 
in order that not apart from you they be completed\footnote{or ``perfected''}.
