Hebrews 11:2-12:1
English Standard Version
2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by (A)the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of (B)things that are visible.
4 By faith (C)Abel offered to God (D)a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And (E)through his faith, though he died, he (F)still speaks. 5 By faith (G)Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God (H)must believe that he exists and (I)that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith (J)Noah, being warned by God concerning (K)events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of (L)the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 By faith (M)Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place (N)that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in (O)the land of promise, as in a foreign land, (P)living in tents (Q)with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to (R)the city that has (S)foundations, (T)whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith (U)Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered (V)him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and (W)him as good as dead, were born descendants (X)as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
13 These all died in faith, (Y)not having received the things promised, but (Z)having seen them and greeted them from afar, and (AA)having acknowledged that they were (AB)strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, (AC)they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed (AD)to be called their God, for (AE)he has prepared for them a city.
17 By faith (AF)Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, (AG)“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 (AH)He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 20 By faith (AI)Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith (AJ)Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, (AK)bowing in worship over the head of his staff. 22 By faith (AL)Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
23 By faith (AM)Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of (AN)the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, (AO)refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 (AP)choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy (AQ)the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 (AR)He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to (AS)the reward. 27 By faith he (AT)left Egypt, (AU)not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured (AV)as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith (AW)he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
29 By faith (AX)the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 30 By faith (AY)the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith (AZ)Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she (BA)had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of (BB)Gideon, (BC)Barak, (BD)Samson, (BE)Jephthah, of (BF)David and (BG)Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, (BH)stopped the mouths of lions, 34 (BI)quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, (BJ)became mighty in war, (BK)put foreign armies to flight. 35 (BL)Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even (BM)chains and imprisonment. 37 (BN)They were stoned, they were sawn in two,[a] (BO)they were killed with the sword. (BP)They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—(BQ)wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, (BR)though commended through their faith, (BS)did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, (BT)that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and (BU)sin which clings so closely, and (BV)let us run (BW)with endurance the race that is (BX)set before us,

2 This is what the ancients were commended for.(A)
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,(B) so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended(C) as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings.(D) And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.(E)
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a](F) For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him(G) must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen,(H) in holy fear built an ark(I) to save his family.(J) By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.(K)
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,(L) obeyed and went,(M) even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land(N) like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,(O) as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.(P) 10 For he was looking forward to the city(Q) with foundations,(R) whose architect and builder is God.(S) 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,(T) was enabled to bear children(U) because she[b] considered him faithful(V) who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,(W) came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.(X)
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;(Y) they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,(Z) admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.(AA) 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(AB) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(AC) Therefore God is not ashamed(AD) to be called their God,(AE) for he has prepared a city(AF) for them.
17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.(AG) He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[c](AH) 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead,(AI) and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.(AJ)
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons,(AK) and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.(AL)
23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born,(AM) because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.(AN)
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.(AO) 25 He chose to be mistreated(AP) along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace(AQ) for the sake of Christ(AR) as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.(AS) 27 By faith he left Egypt,(AT) not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer(AU) of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.(AV)
29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.(AW)
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.(AX)
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.[d](AY)
32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon,(AZ) Barak,(BA) Samson(BB) and Jephthah,(BC) about David(BD) and Samuel(BE) and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms,(BF) administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,(BG) 34 quenched the fury of the flames,(BH) and escaped the edge of the sword;(BI) whose weakness was turned to strength;(BJ) and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.(BK) 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again.(BL) There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging,(BM) and even chains and imprisonment.(BN) 37 They were put to death by stoning;[e](BO) they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword.(BP) They went about in sheepskins and goatskins,(BQ) destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves(BR) and in holes in the ground.
39 These were all commended(BS) for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,(BT) 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us(BU) would they be made perfect.(BV)
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run(BW) with perseverance(BX) the race marked out for us,
