\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''}.
