الإيمَان
11 وَالإيمَانُ هُوَ التَّيَقُّنُ مِمَّا نَرجُو، أيِ الْبُرهَانُ لَنَا عَلَى وُجُودِ مَا لَا يُرَى. 2 وَبِسَبَبِ هَذَا الإيمَانِ، أظْهَرَ اللهُ رِضَاهُ عَلَى القُدَمَاءِ. 3 بِالإيمَانِ نَفهَمُ أنَّ الكَونُ خُلِقَ بِأمْرِ اللهِ، حَتَّى إنَّ مَا يُرَى كُوِّنَ مِمَّا لَا يُرَى.
4 بِالإيمَانِ قَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ ذَبِيحَةً للهِ أفْضَلَ مِمَّا قَدَّمَ قَايِينُ. وَهَكَذَا صَادَقَ اللهُ عَلَى أنَّهُ بَارٌّ، إذْ قَبِلَ تَقْدِمَاتِهِ. وَبِإيمَانِهِ مَا يَزَالُ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَ أنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ.
5 بِالإيمَانِ رُفِعَ أخنُوخُ إلَى اللهِ حَيًّا، فَلَمْ يَذُقِ المَوْتَ. وَمَا كَانَ مُمْكِنًا أنْ يَجِدَهُ أحَدٌ عَلَى الأرْضِ لِأنَّ اللهَ رَفَعَهُ إلَيْهِ. فَقَبْلَ أنْ يُرفَعَ، امتُدِحَ لِأنَّهُ أرْضَى اللهَ.
6 وَبِغَيرِ إيمَانٍ، لَا يَمْكِنُ إرضَاءُ اللهِ. فَعَلَى مَنْ يَأتِي إلَى اللهِ أنْ يُؤمِنَ بِأنَّهُ مَوجُودٌ، وَبِأنَّهُ يُكَافِئُ الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَهُ.
7 بِالإيمَانِ بَنَى نُوحٌ سَفِينَةً لِيُخَلِّصَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَائِلَتَهُ، إذْ حَذَّرَهُ اللهُ مِنْ أُمُورٍ لَمْ تَحْدُثْ بَعْدُ، فَامتَلأ رَهبَةً. وَبِإيمَانِهِ هَذَا أدَانَ العَالَمَ، وَصَارَ وَرِيثًا لِلبِرِّ الَّذِي يَأتِي بِالإيمَانِ.
8 بِالإيمَانِ أطَاعَ إبْرَاهِيمُ اللهَ لَمَّا دَعَاهُ، وَخَرَجَ إلَى مَكَانٍ سَيَصِيرُ مِيرَاثًا لَهُ. خَرَجَ حَتَّى دُونَ أنْ يَعْرِفَ إلَى أيْنَ.
9 بِالإيمَانِ عَاشَ إبْرَاهِيمُ فِي الأرْضِ المَوعُودَةِ كَغَرِيبٍ فِي أرْضٍ غَرِيبَةٍ. سَكَنَ الخِيَامَ كَمَا فَعَلَ إسْحَاقُ وَيَعْقُوبُ اللَّذَانِ كَانَا وَرِيثَينِ لِنَفْسِ الوَعْدِ مَعَهُ. 10 فَعَلَ هَذَا لِأنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَطَلَّعُ إلَى المَدِينَةِ ذَاتِ الأسَاسَاتِ الأبَدِيَّةِ، المَدِينَةِ الَّتِي مُهَندِسُهَا وَبَانِيهَا هُوَ اللهُ.
11 بِالإيمَانِ نَالَ إبْرَاهِيمُ قُدرَةً عَلَى أنْ يُنجِبَ ابنًا مَعَ أنَّ سَارَةَ كَانَتْ عَاقِرًا. وَمَعَ أنَّهُ تَعَدَّى سِنَّ الإنجَابِ، إلَّا أنَّهُ عَلِمَ أنَّ اللهَ الَّذِي وَعَدَهُ أمِينٌ. 12 وَمِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الوَاحِدِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي حُكْمِ الأمْوَاتِ، جَاءَ نَسْلٌ كَثِيرٌ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ، وَبِعَدَدِ حَبَّاتِ الرَّملِ عَلَى شَاطِئِ البَحْرِ.
13 مَاتَ هَؤُلَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ وَهُمْ مُؤمِنُونَ. مَاتُوا دُونَ أنْ يَنَالُوا الوُعُودَ، لَكِنَّهُمْ حَيُّوهَا بِفَرَحٍ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ مُقِرِّينَ بِأنَّهُمْ غُرَبَاءُ عَابِرُونَ هَذِهِ الأرْضَ. 14 وَمَنْ يَقُولُونَ مِثْلَ هَذَا، يُظهِرُونَ أنَّهُمْ يَبْحَثُونَ عَنْ وَطَنٍ. 15 فَلَو كَانُوا يُفَكِّرُونَ بِالوَطَنِ الَّذِي تَرَكُوهُ، لَكَانَتْ لَهُمْ فُرصَةُ العَودَةِ إلَيْهِ. 16 لَكِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَحِنُّونَ إلَى وَطَنٍ أفْضَلَ، وَطَنٍ سَمَاوِيٍّ. وَلِهَذَا فَإنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَحِي بِأنْ يُدْعَى إلَهَهُمْ، فَقَدْ أعَدَّ لَهُمْ مَدِينَةً.[a]
17 بِالإيمَانِ قَدَّمَ إبْرَاهِيمُ ابنَهُ إسْحَاقَ ذَبِيحَةً عِنْدَمَا امتَحَنَهُ اللهُ. نَعَمْ، فَالَّذِي تَلَقَّىْ وُعُودَ اللهِ، كَانَ مُسْتَعِدًّا أنْ يُقَدِّمَ ابنَهُ الوَحِيدَ. 18 إذْ قَالَ لَهُ اللهُ: «سَيَكُونُ لَكَ نَسْلٌ بِوَاسِطَةِ إسْحَاقَ.»[b] 19 فَآمَنَ إبْرَاهِيمُ بِاللهِ القَادِرِ عَلَى إقَامَةِ الأمْوَاتِ. وَيُمكِنُ القَولُ رَمزِيًّا إنَّ إبرَاهِيمَ استَرَدَّ إسْحَاقَ مِنَ المَوْتِ.
20 بِالإيمَانِ بَارَكَ إسْحَاقُ وَلَدَيْهِ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُو بَرَكَاتٍ تَتَعَلَّقُ بِالمُسْتَقْبَلِ.
21 بِالإيمَانِ بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ وَلَدَي يُوسُفَ كِلَيهِمَا وَهُوَ يُحتَضَرُ، وَسَجَدَ للهِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى عَصَاهُ.
22 بِالإيمَانِ تَحَدَّثَ يُوسُفُ فِي نِهَايَةِ حَيَاتِهِ عَنْ خُرُوجِ بَنِي إسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَأوصَاهُمْ بِمَا يُريدُ مِنْهُمْ أنْ يَفْعَلُوا بِعِظَامِهِ.
23 بِالإيمَانِ، وَالِدَا مُوسَىْ أخْفَيَاهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أشهُرٍ بَعْدَ وِلَادَتِهِ. لَقَدْ رَأيَا أنَّهُ طِفلٌ جَمِيلٌ، وَلَمْ يَخْشَيَا أوَامِرَ المَلِكِ.
24 بِالإيمَانِ لَمَّا كَبِرَ مُوسَى رَفَضَ أنْ يُدْعَى ابنًا لابنَةِ فِرعَوْنَ. 25 وَاخْتَارَ سُوءَ المُعَامَلَةِ مَعَ شَعْبِ اللهِ عَلَى التَّمَتُّعِ بِمَلَذَّاتِ الخَطِيَّةِ المُؤَقَّتَةِ. 26 وَاعتَبَرَ احتِمَالَ الخِزيِ مِنْ أجْلِ المَسِيحِ أثمَنَ مِنْ كُنُوزِ مِصْرَ كُلِّهَا، لِأنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَطَلَّعُ إلَى مُكَافَأتِهِ.
27 بِالإيمَانِ تَرَكَ مُوسَىْ مِصْرَ غَيْرَ عَابِئٍ بِغَضَبِ المَلِكِ. وَكَانَ ثَابِتَ العَزمِ كَأنَّهُ يَرَى اللهَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَى.
28 بِالإيمَانِ احتَفَلَ بِالفِصحِ، وَرَشَّ الدَّمَ لِكَيْ لَا يَمَسَّ المَلَاكُ المُهلِكُ[c] أيَّ بِكرٍ مِنْ بَنِي إسْرَائِيلَ.
29 بِالإيمَانِ عَبَرَ بَنُو إسرَائِيلَ البَحْرَ الأحْمَرَ كَأنَّهُمْ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى أرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ، لَكِنْ حِينَ حَاوَلَ المِصْرِيُّونَ أنْ يَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ، غَرِقُوا.
30 بِالإيمَانِ سَقَطَتْ أسوَارُ أرِيحَا، بَعْدَ أنْ دَارَ الشَّعْبُ حَوْلَهَا سَبْعَةَ أيَّامٍ.
31 بِالإيمَانِ لَمْ تُقتَلْ رَاحَابُ السَّاقِطَةُ مَعَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوْا، لِأنَّهَا رَحَّبَتْ بِالجَاسُوسَينِ.
32 وَمَاذَا أقُولُ أيْضًا؟ إذْ لَا وَقْتَ لِلحَدِيثِ عَنْ جَدعُونَ وَبَارَاقَ وَشَمشُونَ وَيَفتَاحَ وَدَاوُدَ وَصَمُوئِيلَ وَالأنْبِيَاءِ.
33 بِالإيمَانِ فَتَحَ هَؤُلَاءِ مَمَالِكَ، وَرَسَّخُوا العَدْلَ، وَنَالُوا وُعُودًا مِنَ اللهِ. سَدُّوا أفوَاهَ أُسُودٍ. 34 أطفَأُوا قُوَّةَ النَّارِ، وَنَجَوْا مِنَ المَوْتِ بِالسَّيفِ. اكتَسَبُوا قُوَّةً وَهُمْ ضُعَفَاءُ. صَارُوا أشِدَّاءَ فِي المَعَارِكِ، وَهَزَمُوا جُيُوشًا غَرِيبَةً. 35 استَرَدَّتْ نِسَاءٌ أشْخَاصًا مَاتُوا ثُمَّ قَامُوَا مِنَ الموتِ. تَعَرَّضَ آخَرُونَ لِلتَّعذِيبِ، وَرَفَضُوا أنْ يُطلَقَ سَرَاحُهُمْ، لِكَي يَنَالُوا قِيَامَةً أفْضَلَ. 36 وَاجَهَ بَعْضُهُمُ الاستِهزَاءَ وَالجَلْدَ، وَوَاجَهَ آخَرُونَ السَّلَاسِلَ وَالسُّجُونَ. 37 رُجِمَ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَنُشِرَ بَعْضُهُمْ. قُتِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بِالسَّيفِ، وَتَجَوَّلَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي جُلُودِ غَنَمٍ وَمَاعِزٍ. افتَقَرُوا وَاضطُهِدُوا وَأُسِيئَتْ مُعَامَلَتُهُمْ. 38 لَمْ يَكُنِ العَالَمُ جَدِيرًا بِهِمْ. هَامُوا فِي الصَّحَارَى وَالجِبَالِ، وَعَاشُوا فِي كُهُوفٍ وَمَغَايِرَ فِي الأرْضِ.
39 امتَدَحَ اللهُ هَؤُلَاءِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى إيمَانِهِمْ، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَنَالُوا الوَعْدَ العَظِيمَ. 40 فَقَدْ أعَدَّ اللهُ لَنَا شَيْئًا أفْضَلَ مِمَّا نَالُوا هُمْ، وَأرَادَ أنْ يُحَقِّقَ الكَمَالَ لَنَا وَلَهُمْ مَعًا.

Hebrews 11
New King James Version
By Faith We Understand
11 Now faith is the [a]substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence (A)of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that (B)the [c]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Faith at the Dawn of History(C)
4 By faith (D)Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still (E)speaks.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, (F)“and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
7 By faith (G)Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, (H)prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of (I)the righteousness which is according to faith.
Faithful Abraham(J)
8 By faith (K)Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, (L)dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, (M)the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for (N)the city which has foundations, (O)whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith (P)Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and (Q)she[d] bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him (R)faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as (S)dead, were born as many as the (T)stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
The Heavenly Hope
13 These all died in faith, (U)not having received the (V)promises, but (W)having seen them afar off [e]were assured of them, embraced them and (X)confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things (Y)declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind (Z)that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed (AA)to be called their God, for He has (AB)prepared a city for them.
The Faith of the Patriarchs(AC)
17 By faith Abraham, (AD)when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 [f]of whom it was said, (AE)“In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God (AF)was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
20 By faith (AG)Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, (AH)blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
22 By faith (AI)Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
The Faith of Moses(AJ)
23 By faith (AK)Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s (AL)command.
24 By faith (AM)Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the [g]passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming (AN)the [h]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures [i]in Egypt; for he looked to the (AO)reward.
27 By faith (AP)he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith (AQ)he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith (AR)they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
By Faith They Overcame
30 By faith (AS)the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith (AT)the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who [j]did not believe, when (AU)she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of (AV)Gideon and (AW)Barak and (AX)Samson and (AY)Jephthah, also of (AZ)David and (BA)Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, (BB)stopped the mouths of lions, 34 (BC)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. 35 (BD)Women received their dead raised to life again.
Others were (BE)tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. 36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and (BF)of chains and imprisonment. 37 (BG)They were stoned, they were sawn in two, [k]were tempted, were slain with the sword. (BH)They wandered about (BI)in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— 38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, (BJ)in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, (BK)having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be (BL)made perfect apart from us.

Por la fe
11 Ahora bien, la fe es tener confianza en lo que esperamos, es tener certeza de lo que no vemos. 2 Gracias a ella recibieron un testimonio favorable nuestros ancestros.
3 Por la fe entendemos que el universo fue formado por la palabra de Dios, de modo que lo visible no provino de lo que se ve.
4 Por la fe Abel ofreció a Dios un sacrificio más aceptable que el de Caín y por ella recibió testimonio de ser justo, pues Dios aceptó su ofrenda. Por la fe Abel, a pesar de estar muerto, habla todavía.
5 Por la fe Enoc fue sacado de este mundo sin experimentar la muerte; no fue hallado porque Dios se lo llevó, pero antes de ser llevado recibió testimonio de haber agradado a Dios. 6 En realidad, sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios, ya que cualquiera que se acerca a Dios tiene que creer que él existe y que recompensa a quienes lo buscan.
7 Por la fe Noé, advertido sobre cosas que aún no se veían, con temor reverente construyó un arca para salvar a su familia. Por esa fe condenó al mundo y llegó a ser heredero de la justicia que viene por la fe.
8 Por la fe Abraham, cuando fue llamado para ir a un lugar que más tarde recibiría como herencia, obedeció y salió sin saber a dónde iba. 9 Por la fe se radicó como extranjero en la tierra prometida y habitó en tiendas de campaña con Isaac y Jacob, herederos también de la misma promesa, 10 porque esperaba la ciudad de cimientos sólidos, de la cual Dios es arquitecto y constructor.
11 Por la fe incluso Sara, a pesar de su avanzada edad y de que era estéril,[a] recibió fuerza para tener hijos, porque consideró fiel al que le había hecho la promesa. 12 Así que de este solo hombre, ya en decadencia, nacieron descendientes numerosos como las estrellas del cielo e incontables como la arena a la orilla del mar.
13 Todos ellos vivieron por la fe y murieron sin haber recibido las cosas prometidas; más bien, las miraron y les dieron la bienvenida desde la distancia. También confesaron que eran extranjeros y peregrinos en la tierra. 14 Al expresarse así, claramente dieron a entender que andaban en busca de una patria. 15 Si hubieran estado pensando en aquella patria de donde habían emigrado, habrían tenido oportunidad de regresar a ella. 16 Antes bien, anhelaban una patria mejor, es decir, la celestial. Por lo tanto, Dios no se avergonzó de ser llamado su Dios y les preparó una ciudad.
17 Por la fe Abraham, quien había recibido las promesas, fue puesto a prueba y ofreció a Isaac, su hijo único, 18 a pesar de que Dios le había dicho: «Tu descendencia se establecerá por medio de Isaac».[b] 19 Consideraba Abraham que Dios tiene poder hasta para resucitar a los muertos; en sentido figurado, recobró a Isaac de entre los muertos.
20 Por la fe Isaac bendijo a Jacob y a Esaú, previendo lo que les esperaba en el futuro.
21 Por la fe Jacob, cuando estaba a punto de morir, bendijo a cada uno de los hijos de José y adoró apoyándose en la punta de su bastón.[c]
22 Por la fe José, al fin de su vida, se refirió a la salida de los israelitas de Egipto y dio instrucciones acerca de sus huesos.
23 Por la fe el recién nacido Moisés fue escondido por sus padres durante tres meses, porque vieron que era un niño hermoso y no tuvieron miedo del edicto del rey.
24 Por la fe Moisés, ya adulto, renunció a ser llamado hijo de la hija del faraón. 25 Prefirió ser maltratado con el pueblo de Dios a disfrutar de los efímeros placeres del pecado. 26 Consideró que la deshonra por causa de Cristo era una mayor riqueza que los tesoros de Egipto, porque tenía la mirada puesta en la recompensa. 27 Por la fe salió de Egipto sin tenerle miedo a la ira del rey y se mantuvo firme, pues había visto a aquel que es invisible. 28 Por la fe celebró la Pascua y el rociamiento de la sangre, para que el exterminador de los primogénitos no tocara a los de Israel.
29 Por la fe el pueblo cruzó el mar Rojo como por tierra seca; pero cuando los egipcios intentaron cruzarlo, se ahogaron.
30 Por la fe cayeron las murallas de Jericó, después de que los israelitas marcharon siete días a su alrededor.
31 Por la fe la prostituta Rajab no murió junto con los desobedientes,[d] pues había recibido en paz a los espías.
32 ¿Qué más voy a decir? Me faltaría tiempo para hablar de Gedeón, Barac, Sansón, Jefté, David, Samuel y los profetas, 33 los cuales por la fe conquistaron reinos, hicieron justicia y alcanzaron lo prometido; cerraron bocas de leones, 34 apagaron la furia de las llamas y escaparon del filo de la espada; sacaron fuerzas de flaqueza; se mostraron valientes en la guerra y pusieron en fuga a ejércitos extranjeros. 35 Hubo mujeres que por la resurrección recobraron a sus muertos. Otros, en cambio, fueron torturados, pues para alcanzar una mejor resurrección no aceptaron que los pusieran en libertad. 36 Otros sufrieron la prueba de burlas y azotes, e incluso de cadenas y cárceles. 37 Fueron apedreados,[e] aserrados por la mitad, asesinados a filo de espada. Anduvieron fugitivos de aquí para allá, cubiertos de pieles de oveja y de cabra, pasando necesidades, afligidos y maltratados. 38 ¡El mundo no merecía gente así! Anduvieron sin rumbo por desiertos y montañas, por cuevas y cavernas.
39 Aunque todos obtuvieron un testimonio favorable mediante la fe, ninguno de ellos vio el cumplimiento de la promesa. 40 Esto sucedió para que ellos no llegaran a ser perfectos sin nosotros, pues Dios nos había preparado algo mejor.

Living by Faith
11 Now faith is the reality[a] of what is hoped for, the proof[b] of what is not seen.(A) 2 For by this our ancestors were approved.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was[c] created by the word of God,(B) so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.[d]
4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.(C)
5 By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death. He was not to be found because God took him away.[e] For before he was taken away, he was approved as one who pleased God.(D) 6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
7 By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built an ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.(E)
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going.(F) 9 By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents as did Isaac and Jacob, coheirs of the same promise.(G) 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.(H)
11 By faith even Sarah herself, when she was unable to have children, received power to conceive offspring, even though she was past the age, since she[f] considered that the one who had promised was faithful.(I) 12 Therefore, from one man—in fact, from one as good as dead—came offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and as innumerable as the grains of sand along the seashore.(J)
13 These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance,(K) greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.(L) 14 Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they were thinking about where they came from, they would have had an opportunity to return. 16 But they now desire a better place—a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.(M)
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac.(N) He received the promises and yet he was offering his one and only son, 18 the one to whom it had been said, Your offspring[g] will be traced through Isaac.[h](O) 19 He considered God to be able even to raise someone from the dead;(P) therefore, he received him back, figuratively speaking.[i]
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau(Q) concerning things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and he worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.[j](R) 22 By faith Joseph, as he was nearing the end of his life, mentioned[k] the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions concerning his bones.(S)
23 By faith Moses, after he was born, was hidden by his parents for three months, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they didn’t fear the king’s edict.(T) 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter 25 and chose to suffer with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasure of sin.(U) 26 For he considered reproach for the sake of Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since he was looking ahead to the reward.(V)
27 By faith he left Egypt behind, not being afraid of the king’s anger, for Moses persevered as one who sees him who is invisible.(W) 28 By faith he instituted the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites. 29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as though they were on dry land. When the Egyptians attempted to do this, they were drowned.(X)
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being marched around by the Israelites for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.(Y)
32 And what more can I say? Time is too short for me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,(Z) David, Samuel, and the prophets,(AA) 33 who by faith conquered kingdoms,(AB) administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,(AC) 34 quenched the raging of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength in weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.(AD) 35 Women received their dead, raised to life again. Other people were tortured, not accepting release, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36 Others experienced mockings and scourgings, as well as bonds and imprisonment.(AE) 37 They were stoned,[l](AF) they were sawed in two, they died by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins,(AG) destitute, afflicted, and mistreated. 38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and on mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground.
39 All these were approved through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.(AH)
