⁷ For we live by believing and not by seeing.

Great Examples of Faith

11 Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

²⁷ It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.

⁸ Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed—

⁴⁵ You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”

³⁹ All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.

⁴⁸ Jesus asked, “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?”
