Hebreus 11
1 Ora, a fé é o firme fundamento das coisas que se esperam, e a prova das coisas que se não vêem.
Now faith is assurance of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
2 Porque por ella os antigos alcançaram testemunho.
For therein the elders had witness borne to them.
3 Pela fé entendemos que os seculos pela palavra de Deus foram creados; de maneira que as coisas que se vêem não foram feitas das que se viam. (aiōn g165)

5 Pela fé Enoch foi trasladado para não ver a morte, e não foi achado, porquanto Deus o trasladara; porque antes da sua trasladação alcançou testemunho de que agradava a Deus.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God:
6 Ora, sem fé é impossivel agradar a Deus: porque é necessario que aquelle que se approxima de Deus creia que elle existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam.
and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.

wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.
13 Todos estes morreram na fé, sem terem recebido as promessas; porém, vendo-as de longe, e crendo-as e abraçando-as, confessaram que eram estrangeiros e peregrinos na terra.

18 Sendo-lhe dito: Em Isaac será chamada a tua descendencia; considerando que Deus era poderoso para até dos mortos o resuscitar.
[even he] to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:

26 Tendo por maiores riquezas o vituperio de Christo do que os thesouros do Egypto; porque tinha em vista a recompensa.

who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
