By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after the Israelites had marched around them for seven days.

By faith the prostitute Rahab did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,

And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,

looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their way of life, imitate their faith.
