Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
ⲁ̅⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲟⲩⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲥⲟϩⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
2 This is why the ancients were commended.

3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. (aiōn g165)

4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.

9 By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

11 By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.

12 And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

13 All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲫⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛϣⲉⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲓⲗⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
14 Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.

15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

16 Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ Ⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲉⲡ ⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.

19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.

22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.

23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.

24 By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

25 He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

26 He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.

27 By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.

37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
