1. Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
|
1. Now G1161 faith G4102 is G2076 the substance G5287 of things hoped for G1679 , the evidence G1650 of things G4229 not G3756 seen G991 .
|
|
2. For therein the elders had witness borne to them.
|
2. For G1063 by G1722 it G5026 the G3588 elders G4245 obtained a good report G3140 .

|
3. Through faith G4102 we understand G3539 that the G3588 worlds G165 were framed G2675 by the word G4487 of God G2316 , so that things which are seen G991 were not G3361 made G1096 of G1537 things which do appear G5316 .

|
|
5. 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:

5. By faith G4102 Enoch G1802 was translated G3346 that he should not G3361 see G1492 death G2288 ; and G2532 was not G3756 found G2147 , because G1360 God G2316 had translated G3346 him G846 : for G1063 before G4253 his G846 translation G3331 he had this testimony G3140 , that he pleased G2100 God G2316 .
|
|
6. 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.
|
6. But G1161 without G5565 faith G4102 it is impossible G102 to please G2100 him : for G1063 he that cometh G4334 to God G2316 must G1163 believe G4100 that G3754 he is G2076 , and G2532 that he is G1096 a rewarder G3406 of them that diligently seek G1567 him G846 .

|
11. Through faith G4102 also G2532 Sarah G4564 herself G846 received G2983 strength G1411 to G1519 conceive G2602 seed G4690 , and G2532 was delivered of a child G5088 when she was past age G3844 G2244 G2540 , because G1893 she judged G2233 him faithful G4103 who had promised G1861 .
|
|
12. 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.
|
12. Therefore G1352 sprang G1080 there even G2532 of G575 one G1520 , and G2532 him G5023 as good as dead G3499 , so many as G2531 the G3588 stars G798 of the G3588 sky G3772 in multitude G4128 , and G2532 as G5616 the sand G285 which G3588 is by G3844 the G3588 sea shore G5491 G2281 innumerable G382 .
|
|
13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
|
13. These G3778 all G3956 died G599 in G2596 faith G4102 , not G3361 having received G2983 the G3588 promises G1860 , but G235 having seen G1492 them G846 afar off G4207 , and G2532 were persuaded G3982 of them, and G2532 embraced G782 them, and G2532 confessed G3670 that G3754 they were G1526 strangers G3581 and G2532 pilgrims G3927 on G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
14. For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.
|
14. For G1063 they that say G3004 such things G5108 declare plainly G1718 that G3754 they seek G1934 a country G3968 .
|
|
15. And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

|
|
18. even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:
|
18. Of G4314 whom G3739 it was said G2980 , That G3754 in G1722 Isaac G2464 shall thy G4671 seed G4690 be called G2564 :
