^18 (A)as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

⁷ for ^(A)we walk by faith, not ^(B)by sight.

²⁴ For ^(A)in this hope we were saved. Now ^(B)hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we ^(C)wait for it with patience.

By Faith

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of ^(A)things not seen.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world—^(A)the desires of the flesh and ^(B)the desires of the eyes and pride of life^[a]—is not from the Father but is from the world. ¹⁷ And ^(C)the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

¹³ These all died in faith, ^(A)not having received the things promised, but ^(B)having seen them and greeted them from afar, and ^(C)having acknowledged that they were ^(D)strangers and exiles on the earth.

²⁵ And this is the promise that he made to us^[a]—^(A)eternal life.

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, ^(A)who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising ^(B)the shame, and ^(C)is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do Not Grow Weary

^3 (D)Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or ^(E)fainthearted.

^25 (A)choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy ^(B)the fleeting pleasures of sin. ^26 (C)He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to ^(D)the reward. ²⁷ By faith he ^(E)left Egypt, ^(F)not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured ^(G)as seeing him who is invisible.
