< Hebrews 11 >

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word (rhema) of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (aiōn g165)

4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
ⲑ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲣⲉⲙ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲓⲗⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲉⲡⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲙⲫⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲥⲕⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ Ⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲛⲓ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱϣ ⲣⲱ.
10 For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁϥϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲛϯⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲉⲛϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲉⲭⲛⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲣⲉϥⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲣⲣⲁ ϯⲁϭⲣⲏⲛ ⲁⲥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲁⲓⲏ ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲉⲛϩⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲱϣ.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them far off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ Ⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲉⲡ ⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
