1And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
1Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.
3by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;
3By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be made.
4by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

5By faith Enoch was translated--not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to--that he had pleased God well,
5By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.
6and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
6But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him.
7By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

9By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.
10for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor <FI>is<Fi> God.
10For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God.
11By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;
11By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,
12wherefore, also from one were begotten--and that of one who had become dead--as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that <FI>is<Fi> by the sea-shore--the innumerable.
12For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted <FI>them<Fi> , and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,
13All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.
14for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;
14For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country.
15and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
15And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return.
16but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

17By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,
17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18of whom it was said--`In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
18(To whom it was said: In Isaac shalt thy seed be called:)
19reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive <FI>him<Fi> .

25Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time:
