00:00.000 --> 00:01.160
Chapter 11.

00:03.140 --> 00:09.340
Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen.

00:09.740 --> 00:12.500
For by it the elders obtained a good
report.

00:13.340 --> 00:17.740
Through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God,

00:18.040 --> 00:22.320
so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.

00:23.100 --> 00:28.080
By faith Abel offered unto God a more
excellent sacrifice than Cain,

00:28.080 --> 00:33.980
by which he obtained witness that he was
righteous, God testifying of his gifts.

00:34.500 --> 00:37.480
And by it he being dead yet speaketh.

00:38.160 --> 00:43.800
By faith Enoch was translated that he
should not see death, and was not found

00:43.800 --> 00:45.580
because God had translated him.

00:46.180 --> 00:51.340
For before his translation he had this
testimony, that he pleased God.

00:51.960 --> 00:55.560
But without faith it is impossible to
please him.

00:55.560 --> 01:01.940
For he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he is a rewarder of

01:01.940 --> 01:04.040
them that diligently seek him.

01:05.300 --> 01:11.560
By faith Noah, being warned of God,
of things not seen as yet, moved with

01:11.560 --> 01:17.700
fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his
house, by the which he condemned the world

01:17.700 --> 01:21.060
and became heir of the righteousness,
which is by faith.

01:21.720 --> 01:26.920
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go
out into a place which he should after

01:26.920 --> 01:29.460
receive for an inheritance, obeyed.

01:29.720 --> 01:33.060
And he went out, not knowing whither he
went.

01:33.760 --> 01:39.180
By faith he sojourned in the land of
promise, as in a strange country,

01:39.600 --> 01:44.460
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and
Jacob, the heirs with him of the same

01:44.460 --> 01:44.940
promise.

01:45.520 --> 01:50.620
For he looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker is

01:50.620 --> 01:51.160
God.

01:51.890 --> 01:57.460
Through faith also Sarah herself received
strength to conceive seed, and was

01:57.460 --> 02:02.500
delivered of a child when she was past
age, because she judged him faithful who

02:02.500 --> 02:03.200
had promised.

02:04.040 --> 02:10.620
Therefore sprang there even of one,
and him as good as dead, so many as the

02:10.620 --> 02:15.560
stars of the sky in multitude,
and as the sand which is by the seashore

02:15.560 --> 02:16.440
innumerable.

02:17.420 --> 02:23.460
These all died in faith, not having
received the promises, but having seen

02:23.460 --> 02:30.360
them afar off, and were persuaded of them,
and embraced them, and confessed that they

02:30.360 --> 02:32.860
were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

02:33.640 --> 02:38.780
For they that say such things declare
plainly that they seek a country.

02:39.480 --> 02:44.360
And truly, if they had been mindful of
that country from whence they came out,

02:44.660 --> 02:47.060
they might have had opportunity to have
returned.

02:47.060 --> 02:54.980
But now they desire a better country,
that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not

02:54.980 --> 02:59.580
ashamed to be called their God,
for he hath prepared for them a city.

03:00.880 --> 03:05.300
By faith Abraham, when he was tried,
offered up Isaac.

03:05.740 --> 03:10.420
And he that had received the promises
offered up his only begotten son,

03:10.860 --> 03:15.580
of whom it was said that in Isaac shall
thy seed be called.

03:17.140 --> 03:22.720
Accounting that God was able to raise him
up, even from the dead, from whence also

03:22.720 --> 03:24.380
he received him in a figure.

03:25.280 --> 03:30.400
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau
concerning things to come.

03:30.740 --> 03:35.600
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying,
blessed both the sons of Joseph,

03:36.060 --> 03:39.020
and worshipped, leaning upon the top of
his staff.

03:39.480 --> 03:43.280
By faith Joseph, when he died,
made mention of the departing of the

03:43.280 --> 03:47.020
children of Israel, and gave commandment
concerning his bones.

03:47.800 --> 03:53.280
By faith Moses, when he was born,
was hid three months of his parents,

03:53.660 --> 03:58.860
because they saw he was a proper child,
and they were not afraid of the king's

03:58.860 --> 03:59.540
commandment.

04:00.240 --> 04:06.080
By faith Moses, when he was come to years,
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's

04:06.080 --> 04:10.280
daughter, choosing rather to suffer
affliction with the people of God,

04:10.280 --> 04:15.980
than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season, esteeming the reproach of Christ

04:15.980 --> 04:20.740
greater riches than the treasures in
Egypt, for he had respect unto the

04:20.740 --> 04:22.040
recompense of the reward.

04:23.280 --> 04:29.960
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the
wrath of the king, for he endured as

04:29.960 --> 04:31.760
seeing him who is invisible.

04:32.700 --> 04:37.520
Through faith he kept the Passover and the
sprinkling of blood, lest he that

04:37.520 --> 04:39.680
destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

04:40.360 --> 04:45.860
By faith they passed through the Red Sea
as by dry land, which the Egyptians,

04:46.200 --> 04:47.600
as saying to do, were drowned.

04:48.220 --> 04:52.920
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down
after they were compassed about seven

04:52.920 --> 04:53.440
days.

04:54.020 --> 04:58.920
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not
with them that believed not, when she had

04:58.920 --> 05:00.780
received the spies with peace.

05:01.620 --> 05:03.260
And what shall I more say?

05:03.260 --> 05:08.240
For the time would fail me to tell of
Gedeon, and of Beric, and of Samson,

05:08.440 --> 05:12.940
and of Jephthah, of David also,
and Samuel, and of the prophets,

05:13.220 --> 05:18.500
who through faith subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness, obtained promises,

05:18.760 --> 05:24.260
stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the
violence of fire, escaped the edge of the

05:24.260 --> 05:30.480
sword, out of weakness were made strong,
waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight

05:30.480 --> 05:31.940
the armies of the aliens.

05:31.940 --> 05:37.260
Women received their dead raised to life
again, and others were tortured,

05:37.440 --> 05:41.180
not accepting deliverance, that they might
obtain a better resurrection.

05:42.220 --> 05:48.040
And others had trial of cruel mockings and
scourgings, yea, moreover, of bonds and

05:48.040 --> 05:48.840
imprisonment.

05:49.260 --> 05:54.920
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder,
were tempted, were slain with the sword.

05:55.320 --> 06:00.620
They wandered about in sheepskins and
goatskins, being destitute, afflicted,

06:01.000 --> 06:01.500
tormented.

06:01.500 --> 06:04.460
Of whom the world was not worthy.

06:04.880 --> 06:10.240
They wandered in deserts and in mountains
and in dens and caves of the earth.

06:10.640 --> 06:16.640
And these all, having obtained a good
report through faith, received not the

06:16.640 --> 06:23.440
promise, God having provided some better
thing for us, that they without us should

06:23.440 --> 06:24.680
not be made perfect.
