-
Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like to [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people;
-
who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.
-
And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
-
For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit *them*, not being mixed with faith in those who heard.
-
Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the Christ, let us go on [to what belongs] to full growth, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
-
that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises.
-
let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.
-
Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)
-
But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.
-
But *we* are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.
-
Now faith is [the] substantiating of things hoped for, [the] conviction of things not seen.
-
By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by [the] word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.
-
By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony of being righteous, God bearing testimony to his gifts, and by it, having died, he yet speaks.
-
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before [his] translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.
-
But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.
-
By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which [is] according to faith.
-
By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out, not knowing where he was going.
-
By faith he sojourned as a stranger in the land of promise as a foreign country, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with [him] of the same promise;
-
By faith also Sarah herself received strength for [the] conception of seed, and [that] beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised.
-
All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.
-
By faith Abraham, [when] tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten [son],
-
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
-
By faith Jacob [when] dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his staff.
-
By faith Joseph [when] dying called to mind the going forth of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.
-
By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful; and they did not fear the injunction of the king.
