By faith Moses, when he had become great, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter;

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible.

By faith he celebrated the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as through dry land; of which the Egyptians having made trial were swallowed up.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days.

By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with the unbelieving, having received the spies in peace.

who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions' mouths,

And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise,

looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.
