GNT

1 ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων.

2 ἐν ταύτῃ γὰρ ἐμαρτυρήθησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι.

3 πίστει νοοῦμεν κατηρτίσθαι τοὺς αἰῶνας ῥήματι θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐκ φαινομένων τὸ βλεπόμενον γεγονέναι.

4 πίστει πλείονα θυσίαν ἅβελ παρὰ κάϊν προσήνεγκεν τῶ θεῶ, δι᾽ ἧς ἐμαρτυρήθη εἶναι δίκαιος, μαρτυροῦντος ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ δι᾽ αὐτῆς ἀποθανὼν ἔτι λαλεῖ.

5 πίστει ἑνὼχ μετετέθη τοῦ μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον, καὶ οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο διότι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός· πρὸ γὰρ τῆς μεταθέσεως μεμαρτύρηται εὐαρεστηκέναι τῶ θεῶ,

6 χωρὶς δὲ πίστεως ἀδύνατον εὐαρεστῆσαι, πιστεῦσαι γὰρ δεῖ τὸν προσερχόμενον τῶ θεῶ ὅτι ἔστιν καὶ τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτὸν μισθαποδότης γίνεται.

7 πίστει χρηματισθεὶς νῶε περὶ τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων εὐλαβηθεὶς κατεσκεύασεν κιβωτὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, δι᾽ ἧς κατέκρινεν τὸν κόσμον, καὶ τῆς κατὰ πίστιν δικαιοσύνης ἐγένετο κληρονόμος.

8 πίστει καλούμενος ἀβραὰμ ὑπήκουσεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τόπον ὃν ἤμελλεν λαμβάνειν εἰς κληρονομίαν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν μὴ ἐπιστάμενος ποῦ ἔρχεται.

9 πίστει παρῴκησεν εἰς γῆν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας ὡς ἀλλοτρίαν, ἐν σκηναῖς κατοικήσας μετὰ ἰσαὰκ καὶ ἰακὼβ τῶν συγκληρονόμων τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῆς αὐτῆς·

10 ἐξεδέχετο γὰρ τὴν τοὺς θεμελίους ἔχουσαν πόλιν, ἧς τεχνίτης καὶ δημιουργὸς ὁ θεός.

11 πίστει _ καὶ αὐτὴ σάρρα στεῖρα _ δύναμιν εἰς καταβολὴν σπέρματος ἔλαβεν καὶ παρὰ καιρὸν ἡλικίας, ἐπεὶ πιστὸν ἡγήσατο τὸν ἐπαγγειλάμενον·

12 διὸ καὶ ἀφ᾽ ἑνὸς ἐγεννήθησαν, καὶ ταῦτα νενεκρωμένου, καθὼς τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῶ πλήθει καὶ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τῆς θαλάσσης ἡ ἀναρίθμητος.

13 κατὰ πίστιν ἀπέθανον οὖτοι πάντες, μὴ λαβόντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀλλὰ πόρρωθεν αὐτὰς ἰδόντες καὶ ἀσπασάμενοι, καὶ ὁμολογήσαντες ὅτι ξένοι καὶ παρεπίδημοί εἰσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·

14 οἱ γὰρ τοιαῦτα λέγοντες ἐμφανίζουσιν ὅτι πατρίδα ἐπιζητοῦσιν.

15 καὶ εἰ μὲν ἐκείνης ἐμνημόνευον ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἐξέβησαν, εἶχον ἂν καιρὸν ἀνακάμψαι·

16 νῦν δὲ κρείττονος ὀρέγονται, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ἐπουρανίου. διὸ οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς θεὸς ἐπικαλεῖσθαι αὐτῶν, ἡτοίμασεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς πόλιν.

17 πίστει προσενήνοχεν ἀβραὰμ τὸν ἰσαὰκ πειραζόμενος, καὶ τὸν μονογενῆ προσέφερεν ὁ τὰς ἐπαγγελίας ἀναδεξάμενος,

18 πρὸς ὃν ἐλαλήθη ὅτι ἐν ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα,

19 λογισάμενος ὅτι καὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγείρειν δυνατὸς ὁ θεός· ὅθεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν παραβολῇ ἐκομίσατο.

20 πίστει καὶ περὶ μελλόντων εὐλόγησεν ἰσαὰκ τὸν ἰακὼβ καὶ τὸν ἠσαῦ.

21 πίστει ἰακὼβ ἀποθνῄσκων ἕκαστον τῶν υἱῶν ἰωσὴφ εὐλόγησεν, καὶ προσεκύνησεν ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς ῥάβδου αὐτοῦ.

22 πίστει ἰωσὴφ τελευτῶν περὶ τῆς ἐξόδου τῶν υἱῶν ἰσραὴλ ἐμνημόνευσεν, καὶ περὶ τῶν ὀστέων αὐτοῦ ἐνετείλατο.

23 πίστει μωϊσῆς γεννηθεὶς ἐκρύβη τρίμηνον ὑπὸ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, διότι εἶδον ἀστεῖον τὸ παιδίον, καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸ διάταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως.

24 πίστει μωϊσῆς μέγας γενόμενος ἠρνήσατο λέγεσθαι υἱὸς θυγατρὸς φαραώ,

25 μᾶλλον ἑλόμενος συγκακουχεῖσθαι τῶ λαῶ τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ πρόσκαιρον ἔχειν ἁμαρτίας ἀπόλαυσιν,

26 μείζονα πλοῦτον ἡγησάμενος τῶν αἰγύπτου θησαυρῶν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ χριστοῦ, ἀπέβλεπεν γὰρ εἰς τὴν μισθαποδοσίαν.

27 πίστει κατέλιπεν αἴγυπτον, μὴ φοβηθεὶς τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ βασιλέως, τὸν γὰρ ἀόρατον ὡς ὁρῶν ἐκαρτέρησεν.

28 πίστει πεποίηκεν τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὴν πρόσχυσιν τοῦ αἵματος, ἵνα μὴ ὁ ὀλοθρεύων τὰ πρωτότοκα θίγῃ αὐτῶν.

29 πίστει διέβησαν τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν ὡς διὰ ξηρᾶς γῆς, ἧς πεῖραν λαβόντες οἱ αἰγύπτιοι κατεπόθησαν.

30 πίστει τὰ τείχη ἰεριχὼ ἔπεσαν κυκλωθέντα ἐπὶ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

31 πίστει ῥαὰβ ἡ πόρνη οὐ συναπώλετο τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν, δεξαμένη τοὺς κατασκόπους μετ᾽ εἰρήνης.

32 καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω; ἐπιλείψει με γὰρ διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ γεδεών, βαράκ, σαμψών, ἰεφθάε, δαυίδ τε καὶ σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν,

33 οἳ διὰ πίστεως κατηγωνίσαντο βασιλείας, εἰργάσαντο δικαιοσύνην, ἐπέτυχον ἐπαγγελιῶν, ἔφραξαν στόματα λεόντων,

34 ἔσβεσαν δύναμιν πυρός, ἔφυγον στόματα μαχαίρης, ἐδυναμώθησαν ἀπὸ ἀσθενείας, ἐγενήθησαν ἰσχυροὶ ἐν πολέμῳ, παρεμβολὰς ἔκλιναν ἀλλοτρίων·

35 ἔλαβον γυναῖκες ἐξ ἀναστάσεως τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν· ἄλλοι δὲ ἐτυμπανίσθησαν, οὐ προσδεξάμενοι τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν, ἵνα κρείττονος ἀναστάσεως τύχωσιν·

36 ἕτεροι δὲ ἐμπαιγμῶν καὶ μαστίγων πεῖραν ἔλαβον, ἔτι δὲ δεσμῶν καὶ φυλακῆς·

37 ἐλιθάσθησαν, ἐπρίσθησαν, ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρης ἀπέθανον, περιῆλθον ἐν μηλωταῖς, ἐν αἰγείοις δέρμασιν, ὑστερούμενοι, θλιβόμενοι, κακουχούμενοι,

38 ὧν οὐκ ἦν ἄξιος ὁ κόσμος, ἐπὶ ἐρημίαις πλανώμενοι καὶ ὄρεσιν καὶ σπηλαίοις καὶ ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῆς γῆς.

39 καὶ οὖτοι πάντες μαρτυρηθέντες διὰ τῆς πίστεως οὐκ ἐκομίσαντο τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν,

40 τοῦ θεοῦ περὶ ἡμῶν κρεῖττόν τι προβλεψαμένου, ἵνα μὴ χωρὶς ἡμῶν τελειωθῶσιν.

1  Now¹¹⁶¹ faith⁴¹⁰² is²⁰⁷⁶ the substance⁵²⁸⁷ of things hoped for,¹⁶⁷⁹ the evidence¹⁶⁵⁰ of things⁴²²⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ seen.⁹⁹¹

2  For¹⁰⁶³ by¹⁷²² it⁵⁰²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ obtained a good report.³¹⁴⁰

3  Through faith⁴¹⁰² we understand³⁵³⁹ that the³⁵⁸⁸ worlds¹⁶⁵ were framed²⁶⁷⁵ by the word⁴⁴⁸⁷ of God,²³¹⁶ so that things which are seen⁹⁹¹ were not³³⁶¹ made¹⁰⁹⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ things which do appear.⁵³¹⁶

4  By faith⁴¹⁰² Abel⁶ offered⁴³⁷⁴ unto God²³¹⁶ a more excellent⁴¹¹⁹ sacrifice²³⁷⁸ than³⁸⁴⁴ Cain,²⁵³⁵ by¹²²³ which³⁷³⁹ he obtained witness³¹⁴⁰ that he was¹⁵¹¹ righteous,¹³⁴² God²³¹⁶ testifying³¹⁴⁰ of¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ gifts:¹⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² by¹²²³ it⁸⁴⁶ he being dead⁵⁹⁹ yet²⁰⁸⁹ speaketh.²⁹⁸⁰

5  By faith⁴¹⁰² Enoch¹⁸⁰² was translated³³⁴⁶ that he should not³³⁶¹ see¹⁴⁹² death;²²⁸⁸ and²⁵³² was not³⁷⁵⁶ found,²¹⁴⁷ because¹³⁶⁰ God²³¹⁶ had translated³³⁴⁶ him:⁸⁴⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ before⁴²⁵³ his⁸⁴⁶ translation³³³¹ he had this testimony,³¹⁴⁰ that he pleased²¹⁰⁰ God.²³¹⁶

6  But¹¹⁶¹ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ faith⁴¹⁰² it is impossible¹⁰² to please²¹⁰⁰ him: for¹⁰⁶³ he that cometh⁴³³⁴ to God²³¹⁶ must¹¹⁶³ believe⁴¹⁰⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ he is,²⁰⁷⁶ and²⁵³² that he is¹⁰⁹⁶ a rewarder³⁴⁰⁶ of them that diligently seek¹⁵⁶⁷ him.⁸⁴⁶

7  By faith⁴¹⁰² Noah,³⁵⁷⁵ being warned of God⁵⁵³⁷ of⁴⁰¹² things not seen as yet,^{3369 991} moved with fear,²¹²⁵ prepared²⁶⁸⁰ an ark²⁷⁸⁷ to the saving^{1519 4991} of his⁸⁴⁸ house;³⁶²⁴ by¹²²³ the which³⁷³⁹ he condemned²⁶³² the³⁵⁸⁸ world,²⁸⁸⁹ and²⁵³² became¹⁰⁹⁶ heir²⁸¹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ righteousness¹³⁴³ which is by²⁵⁹⁶ faith.⁴¹⁰²

8  By faith⁴¹⁰² Abraham,¹¹ when he was called²⁵⁶⁴ to go out¹⁸³¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ a place⁵¹¹⁷ which³⁷³⁹ he should after³¹⁹⁵ receive²⁹⁸³ for¹⁵¹⁹ an inheritance,²⁸¹⁷ obeyed;⁵²¹⁹ and²⁵³² he went out,¹⁸³¹ not³³⁶¹ knowing¹⁹⁸⁷ whither⁴²²⁶ he went.²⁰⁶⁴

9  By faith⁴¹⁰² he sojourned³⁹³⁹ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ land¹⁰⁹³ of promise,¹⁸⁶⁰ as in⁵⁶¹³ a strange country,²⁴⁵ dwelling²⁷³⁰ in¹⁷²² tabernacles⁴⁶³³ with³³²⁶ Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ and²⁵³² Jacob,²³⁸⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ heirs with him⁴⁷⁸⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ promise:¹⁸⁶⁰

10  For¹⁰⁶³ he looked for¹⁵⁵¹ a city⁴¹⁷² which hath²¹⁹² foundations,²³¹⁰ whose³⁷³⁹ builder⁵⁰⁷⁹ and²⁵³² maker¹²¹⁷ is God.²³¹⁶

11  Through faith⁴¹⁰² also²⁵³² Sarah⁴⁵⁶⁴ herself⁸⁴⁶ received²⁹⁸³ strength¹⁴¹¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ conceive²⁶⁰² seed,⁴⁶⁹⁰ and²⁵³² was delivered of a child⁵⁰⁸⁸ when she was past age,^{3844 2244 2540} because¹⁸⁹³ she judged²²³³ him faithful⁴¹⁰³ who had promised.¹⁸⁶¹

12  Therefore¹³⁵² sprang¹⁰⁸⁰ there even²⁵³² of⁵⁷⁵ one,¹⁵²⁰ and²⁵³² him⁵⁰²³ as good as dead,³⁴⁹⁹ so many as²⁵³¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ stars⁷⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sky³⁷⁷² in multitude,⁴¹²⁸ and²⁵³² as⁵⁶¹⁶ the sand²⁸⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ is by³⁸⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ sea shore^{5491 2281} innumerable.³⁸²

13  These³⁷⁷⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ died⁵⁹⁹ in²⁵⁹⁶ faith,⁴¹⁰² not³³⁶¹ having received²⁹⁸³ the³⁵⁸⁸ promises,¹⁸⁶⁰ but²³⁵ having seen¹⁴⁹² them⁸⁴⁶ afar off,⁴²⁰⁷ and²⁵³² were persuaded³⁹⁸² of them, and²⁵³² embraced⁷⁸² them, and²⁵³² confessed³⁶⁷⁰ that³⁷⁵⁴ they were¹⁵²⁶ strangers³⁵⁸¹ and²⁵³² pilgrims³⁹²⁷ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

14  For¹⁰⁶³ they that say³⁰⁰⁴ such things⁵¹⁰⁸ declare plainly¹⁷¹⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ they seek¹⁹³⁴ a country.³⁹⁶⁸

15  And²⁵³² truly,³³⁰³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ they had been mindful³⁴²¹ of that¹⁵⁶⁵ country from⁵⁷⁵ whence³⁷³⁹ they came out,¹⁸³¹ they might have had^{2192 302} opportunity²⁵⁴⁰ to have returned.³⁴⁴

16  But¹¹⁶¹ now³⁵⁷⁰ they desire³⁷¹³ a better²⁹⁰⁹ country, that is,⁵¹²³ a heavenly:²⁰³² wherefore¹³⁵² God²³¹⁶ is not³⁷⁵⁶ ashamed¹⁸⁷⁰ to be called¹⁹⁴¹ their⁸⁴⁶ God:²³¹⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ he hath prepared²⁰⁹⁰ for them⁸⁴⁶ a city.⁴¹⁷²

17  By faith⁴¹⁰² Abraham,¹¹ when he was tried,³⁹⁸⁵ offered up⁴³⁷⁴ Isaac:²⁴⁶⁴ and²⁵³² he that had received³²⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ promises¹⁸⁶⁰ offered up⁴³⁷⁴ his only begotten³⁴³⁹ son,

18  Of⁴³¹⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ it was said,²⁹⁸⁰ That³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ shall thy⁴⁶⁷¹ seed⁴⁶⁹⁰ be called:²⁵⁶⁴

19  Accounting³⁰⁴⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ was able¹⁴¹⁵ to raise him up,¹⁴⁵³ even²⁵³² from¹⁵³⁷ the dead;³⁴⁹⁸ from whence³⁶⁰⁶ also²⁵³² he received²⁸⁶⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² a figure.³⁸⁵⁰

20  By faith⁴¹⁰² Isaac²⁴⁶⁴ blessed²¹²⁷ Jacob²³⁸⁴ and²⁵³² Esau²²⁶⁹ concerning⁴⁰¹² things to come.³¹⁹⁵

21  By faith⁴¹⁰² Jacob,²³⁸⁴ when he was a dying,⁵⁹⁹ blessed²¹²⁷ both¹⁵³⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ sons⁵²⁰⁷ of Joseph;²⁵⁰¹ and²⁵³² worshiped,⁴³⁵² leaning upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ top²⁰⁶ of his⁸⁴⁸ staff.⁴⁴⁶⁴

22  By faith⁴¹⁰² Joseph,²⁵⁰¹ when he died,⁵⁰⁵³ made mention³⁴²¹ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ departing¹⁸⁴¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel;²⁴⁷⁴ and²⁵³² gave commandment¹⁷⁸¹ concerning⁴⁰¹² his⁸⁴⁸ bones.³⁷⁴⁷

23  By faith⁴¹⁰² Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ when he was born,¹⁰⁸⁰ was hid²⁹²⁸ three months⁵¹⁵⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ parents,³⁹⁶² because¹³⁶⁰ they saw¹⁴⁹² he was a proper⁷⁹¹ child;³⁸¹³ and²⁵³² they were not afraid^{5399 3756} of the³⁵⁸⁸ king's⁹³⁵ commandment.¹²⁹⁷

24  By faith⁴¹⁰² Moses,³⁴⁷⁵ when he was come to years,^{1096 3173} refused⁷²⁰ to be called³⁰⁰⁴ the son⁵²⁰⁷ of Pharaoh's⁵³²⁸ daughter;²³⁶⁴

25  Choosing¹³⁸ rather³¹²³ to suffer affliction with⁴⁷⁷⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ people²⁹⁹² of God,²³¹⁶ than²²²⁸ to enjoy the pleasures^{2192 619} of sin²⁶⁶ for a season;⁴³⁴⁰

26  Esteeming²²³³ the³⁵⁸⁸ reproach³⁶⁸⁰ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ greater³¹⁸⁷ riches⁴¹⁴⁹ than the³⁵⁸⁸ treasures²³⁴⁴ in¹⁷²² Egypt:¹²⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ he had respect⁵⁷⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ recompense of the reward.³⁴⁰⁵

27  By faith⁴¹⁰² he forsook²⁶⁴¹ Egypt,¹²⁵ not³³⁶¹ fearing⁵³⁹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ wrath²³⁷² of the³⁵⁸⁸ king:⁹³⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ he endured,²⁵⁹⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ seeing³⁷⁰⁸ him who is invisible.⁵¹⁷

28  Through faith⁴¹⁰² he kept⁴¹⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ passover,³⁹⁵⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ sprinkling⁴³⁷⁸ of blood,¹²⁹ lest³³⁶³ he that destroyed³⁶⁴⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ firstborn⁴⁴¹⁶ should touch²³⁴⁵ them.⁸⁴⁶

29  By faith⁴¹⁰² they passed through¹²²⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Red²⁰⁶³ sea²²⁸¹ as⁵⁶¹³ by¹²²³ dry³⁵⁸⁴ land: which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Egyptians¹²⁴ attempting to do^{2983 3984} were drowned.²⁶⁶⁶

30  By faith⁴¹⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ walls⁵⁰³⁸ of Jericho²⁴¹⁰ fell down,⁴⁰⁹⁸ after they were compassed about^{2944 1909} seven²⁰³³ days.²²⁵⁰

31  By faith⁴¹⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ harlot⁴²⁰⁴ Rahab⁴⁴⁶⁰ perished⁴⁸⁸¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ with them that believed not,⁵⁴⁴ when she had received¹²⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ spies²⁶⁸⁵ with³³²⁶ peace.¹⁵¹⁵

32  And²⁵³² what⁵¹⁰¹ shall I more²⁰⁸⁹ say?³⁰⁰⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ would fail¹⁹⁵² me³¹⁶⁵ to tell¹³³⁴ of⁴⁰¹² Gideon,¹⁰⁶⁶ and⁵⁰³⁷ of Barak,⁹¹³ and²⁵³² of Samson,⁴⁵⁴⁶ and²⁵³² of Jephthah;²⁴²² of David¹¹³⁸ also,⁵⁰³⁷ and²⁵³² Samuel,⁴⁵⁴⁵ and²⁵³² of the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets:⁴³⁹⁶

33  Who³⁷³⁹ through¹²²³ faith⁴¹⁰² subdued²⁶¹⁰ kingdoms,⁹³² wrought²⁰³⁸ righteousness,¹³⁴³ obtained²⁰¹³ promises,¹⁸⁶⁰ stopped⁵⁴²⁰ the mouths⁴⁷⁵⁰ of lions,³⁰²³

34  Quenched⁴⁵⁷⁰ the violence¹⁴¹¹ of fire,⁴⁴⁴² escaped⁵³⁴³ the edge⁴⁷⁵⁰ of the sword,³¹⁶² out of⁵⁷⁵ weakness⁷⁶⁹ were made strong,¹⁷⁴³ waxed¹⁰⁹⁶ valiant²⁴⁷⁸ in¹⁷²² fight,⁴¹⁷¹ turned to flight²⁸²⁷ the armies³⁹²⁵ of the aliens.²⁴⁵

35  Women¹¹³⁵ received²⁹⁸³ their⁸⁴⁸ dead³⁴⁹⁸ raised to life again:^{1537 386} and¹¹⁶¹ others²⁴³ were tortured,⁵¹⁷⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ accepting⁴³²⁷ deliverance;⁶²⁹ that²⁴⁴³ they might obtain⁵¹⁷⁷ a better²⁹⁰⁹ resurrection:³⁸⁶

36  And¹¹⁶¹ others²⁰⁸⁷ had²⁹⁸³ trial³⁹⁸⁴ of cruel mockings¹⁷⁰¹ and²⁵³² scourgings,³¹⁴⁸ yea,¹¹⁶¹ moreover²⁰⁸⁹ of bonds¹¹⁹⁹ and²⁵³² imprisonment:⁵⁴³⁸

37  They were stoned,³⁰³⁴ they were sawn asunder,⁴²⁴⁹ were tempted,³⁹⁸⁵ were slain⁵⁹⁹ with¹⁷²² the⁵⁴⁰⁸ sword:³¹⁶² they wandered about⁴⁰²² in¹⁷²² sheepskins³³⁷⁴ and²⁵³² goatskins;^{122 1192} being destitute,⁵³⁰² afflicted,²³⁴⁶ tormented;²⁵⁵⁸

38  (Of whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ was²²⁵⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ worthy:) they⁵¹⁴ wandered⁴¹⁰⁵ in¹⁷²² deserts,²⁰⁴⁷ and²⁵³² in mountains,³⁷³⁵ and²⁵³² in dens⁴⁶⁹³ and²⁵³² caves³⁶⁹² of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

39  And²⁵³² these³⁷⁷⁸ all,³⁹⁵⁶ having obtained a good report³¹⁴⁰ through¹²²³ faith,⁴¹⁰² received²⁸⁶⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise:¹⁸⁶⁰

40  God²³¹⁶ having provided⁴²⁶⁵ some⁵¹⁰⁰ better thing²⁹⁰⁹ for⁴⁰¹² us,²²⁵⁷ that²⁴⁴³ they without⁵⁵⁶⁵ us²²⁵⁷ should not³³⁶¹ be made perfect.⁵⁰⁴⁸

Vul

1 Est autem fides sperandarum substantia rerum, argumentum non apparentium.

2 In hac enim testimonium consecuti sunt senes.

3 Fide intelligimus aptata esse sæcula verbo Dei: ut ex invisibilibus visibilia fierent.

4 Fide plurimam hostiam Abel, quam Cain, obtulit Deo, per quam testimonium consecutus est esse justus, testimonium perhibente muneribus ejus Deo, et per illam defunctus adhuc loquitur.

5 Fide Henoch translatus est ne videret mortem, et non inveniebatur, quia transtulit illum Deus: ante translationem enim testimonium habuit placuisse Deo.

6 Sine fide autem impossibile est placere Deo. Credere enim oportet accedentem ad Deum quia est, et inquirentibus se remunerator sit.

7 Fide Noë responso accepto de iis quæ adhuc non videbantur, metuens aptavit arcam in salutem domus suæ, per quam damnavit mundum: et justitiæ, quæ per fidem est, hæres est institutus.

8 Fide qui vocatur Abraham obedivit in locum exire, quem accepturus erat in hæreditatem: et exiit, nesciens quo iret.

9 Fide demoratus est in terra repromissionis, tamquam in aliena, in casulis habitando cum Isaac et Jacob cohæredibus repromissionis ejusdem.

10 Exspectabat enim fundamenta habentem civitatem: cujus artifex et conditor Deus.

11 Fide et ipsa Sara sterilis virtutem in conceptionem seminis accepit, etiam præter tempus ætatis: quoniam fidelem credidit esse eum qui repromiserat.

12 Propter quod et ab uno orti sunt (et hoc emortuo) tamquam sidera cæli in multitudinem, et sicut arena, quæ est ad oram maris, innumerabilis.

13 Juxta fidem defuncti sunt omnes isti, non acceptis repromissionibus, sed a longe eas aspicientes, et salutantes, et confitentes quia peregrini et hospites sunt super terram.

14 Qui enim hæc dicunt, significant se patriam inquirere.

15 Et si quidem ipsius meminissent de qua exierunt, habebant utique tempus revertendi:

16 nunc autem meliorem appetunt, id est, cælestem. Ideo non confunditur Deus vocari Deus eorum: paravit enim illis civitatem.

17 Fide obtulit Abraham Isaac, cum tentaretur, et unigenitum offerebat, qui susceperat repromissiones:

18 ad quem dictum est: Quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen:

19 arbitrans quia et a mortuis suscitare potens est Deus: unde eum et in parabolam accepit.

20 Fide et de futuris benedixit Isaac Jacob et Esau.

21 Fide Jacob, moriens, singulos filiorum Joseph benedixit: et adoravit fastigium virgæ ejus.

22 Fide Joseph, moriens, de profectione filiorum Israël memoratus est, et de ossibus suis mandavit.

23 Fide Moyses, natus, occultatus est mensibus tribus a parentibus suis, eo quod vidissent elegantem infantem, et non timuerunt regis edictum.

24 Fide Moyses grandis factus negavit se esse filium filiæ Pharaonis,

25 magis eligens affligi cum populo Dei, quam temporalis peccati habere jucunditatem,

26 majores divitias æstimans thesauro Ægyptiorum, improperium Christi: aspiciebat enim in remunerationem.

27 Fide reliquit Ægyptum, non veritus animositatem regis: invisibilem enim tamquam videns sustinuit.

28 Fide celebravit Pascha, et sanguinis effusionem: ne qui vastabat primitiva, tangeret eos.

29 Fide transierunt mare Rubrum tamquam per aridam terram: quod experti Ægyptii, devorati sunt.

30 Fide muri Jericho corruerunt, circuitu dierum septem.

31 Fide Rahab meretrix non periit cum incredulis, excipiens exploratores cum pace.

32 Et quid adhuc dicam? deficiet enim me tempus enarrantem de Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephte, David, Samuel, et prophetis:

33 qui per fidem vicerunt regna, operati sunt justitiam, adepti sunt repromissiones, obturaverunt ora leonum,

34 extinxerunt impetum ignis, effugerunt aciem gladii, convaluerunt de infirmitate, fortes facti sunt in bello, castra verterunt exterorum:

35 acceperunt mulieres de resurrectione mortuos suos: alii autem distenti sunt non suscipientes redemptionem ut meliorem invenirent resurrectionem.

36 Alii vero ludibria, et verbera experti, insuper et vincula, et carceres:

37 lapidati sunt, secti sunt, tentati sunt, in occisione gladii mortui sunt, circuierunt in melotis, in pellibus caprinis, egentes, angustiati, afflicti:

38 quibus dignus non erat mundus: in solitudinibus errantes, in montibus, in speluncis, et in cavernis terræ.

39 Et hi omnes testimonio fidei probati, non acceperunt repromissionem,

40 Deo pro nobis melius aliquid providente, ut non sine nobis consummarentur.
