11:7	Bi feith Noe dredde, thorouy answere takun of these thingis that yit weren not seyn, and schapide a schip in to the helthe of his hous; bi which he dampnede the world, and is ordeyned eir of riytwisnesse, which is bi feith.
11:8	By feith he that is clepid Abraham, obeiede to go out in to a place, whiche he schulde take in to eritage; and he wente out, not witinge whidur he schulde go.
11:9	Bi feith he dwelte in the loond of biheest, as in an alien loond, dwellynge in litle housis with Ysaac and Jacob, euene heiris of the same biheest.
11:10	For he abood a citee hauynge foundementis, whos crafti man and maker is God.
11:11	Bi feith also the ilke Sara bareyn, took vertu in consceyuyng of seed, yhe, ayen the tyme of age; for sche bileuede hym trewe, that hadde bihiyte.
11:12	For which thing of oon, and yit nyy deed, ther ben borun as sterris of heuene in multitude, and as grauel that is at the see side out of noumbre.
11:13	Bi feith alle these ben deed, whanne the biheestis weren not takun, but thei bihelden hem afer, and gretynge hem wel, and knoulechide that thei weren pilgryms, and herboryd men on the erthe.
11:14	And thei that sayn these thingis, signifien that thei sechen a cuntre.
11:15	`If thei hadden hadde mynde of the ilke, of which thei wenten out, thei hadden tyme of turnyng ayen;
11:16	but now thei desiren a betere, that is to seie, heuenli. Therfor God is not confoundid to be clepid the God of hem; for he made redi to hem a citee.
11:17	Bi feith Abraham offride Ysaac, whanne he was temptid; and he offride the oon bigetun, whych had takun the biheestis;
11:18	to whom it was seid, For in Ysaac the seed schal be clepid to thee.
11:19	For he demyde, that God is myyti to reise hym, yhe, fro deth; wherfor he took hym also in to a parable.
11:20	Bi feith also of thingis to comynge, Ysaac blesside Jacob and Esau.
11:21	Bi feith Jacob diynge blesside alle the sones of Joseph, and onouride the hiynesse of his yerde.

11:24	Bi feith Moises was maad greet, and denyede that he was the sone of Faraos douytir,
11:25	and chees more to be turmentid with the puple of God, than to haue myrthe of temporal synne;
11:26	demynge the repreef of Crist more richessis than the tresours of Egipcians; for he bihelde in to the rewarding.
11:27	Bi feith he forsook Egipt, and dredde not the hardynesse of the king; for he abood, as seinge hym that was vnuysible.
11:28	Bi feith he halewide pask, and the scheding out of blood, that he that distriede the firste thingis of Egipcians, schulde not touche hem.
11:29	Bi feith thei passiden the reed see, as bi drye lond, which thing Egipcians asaiynge weren deuourid.
11:30	Bi feith the wallis of Jerico felden doun, bi cumpassyng of seuene daies.
11:31	Bi feith Raab hoor resseyuede the aspieris with pees, and perischide not with vnbileueful men.
11:32	And what yit schal Y seie? For tyme schal faile to me tellynge of Gedeon, Barak, Sampson, Jepte, Dauid, and Samuel, and of othere prophetis;
11:33	whiche bi feith ouercamen rewmes, wrouyten riytwisnesse, gaten repromyssiouns; thei stoppiden the mouthis of liouns,
11:34	thei quenchiden the feersnesse of fier, thei dryueden awei the egge of swerd, thei coueriden of sijknesse, thei weren maad strong in batel, thei turneden the oostis of aliens.
11:35	Wymmen resseyueden her deed children fro deth to lijf; but othere weren holdun forth, not takinge redempcioun, that thei schulden fynde a betere ayenrising.
11:36	And othere asaieden scornyngis and betingis, more ouer and boondis and prisouns.
11:37	Thei weren stoned, thei weren sawid, thei weren temptid, thei weren deed in sleyng of swerd. Thei wenten aboute in broc skynnes, and in skynnes of geet, nedi, angwischid, turmentid;
11:38	to whiche the world was not worthi. Thei erriden in wildernessis, in mounteynes and dennes, and caues of the erthe.
11:39	And alle these, preued bi witnessing of feith, token not repromyssioun;
11:40	for God purueiede sum betere thing for vs, that thei schulden not be maad perfit with outen vs.


11:1	Now faith is the grounds of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.
11:2	For by it our elders were well reported of.
11:3	Through faith we vnderstand that the world was ordeined by the worde of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appeare.
11:4	By faith Abel offered vnto God a greater sacrifice then Cain, by the which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh.
11:5	By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God.
11:6	But without faith it is vnpossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him.
11:7	By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene, mooued with reuerence, prepared the Arke to the sauing of his housholde, through the which Arke hee condemned the world, and was made heire of the righteousnes, which is by faith.
11:8	By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to goe out into a place, which hee should afterward receiue for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
11:9	By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange countrey, as one that dwelt in tents with Isaac and Iacob heires with him of the same promise.
11:10	For he looked for a citie hauing a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.
11:11	Through faith Sara also receiued strength to conceiue seede, and was deliuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faithfull which had promised.
11:12	And therefore sprang there of one, euen of one which was dead, so many as the starres of the skie in multitude, and as the land of the sea shore which is innumerable.
11:13	All these died in faith, and receiued not the promises, but sawe them a farre off, and beleeued them, and receiued them thankefully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
11:14	For they that say such things, declare plainely, that they seeke a countrey.
11:15	And if they had bene mindfull of that countrey, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned.
11:16	But nowe they desire a better, that is an heauenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.
11:17	By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne.
11:18	(To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seede be called.)
11:19	For he considered that God was able to raise him vp euen from the dead: from whence he receiued him also after a sort.
11:20	By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concerning things to come.
11:21	By faith Iacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, and leaning on the ende of his staffe, worshipped God.
11:22	By faith Ioseph when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gaue commandement of his bones.
11:23	By faith Moses when he was borne, was hid three moneths of his parents, because they sawe he was a proper childe, neither feared they the kings commandement.
11:24	By faith Moses when he was come to age, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaohs daughter,
11:25	And chose rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of sinnes for a season,
11:26	Esteeming the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect vnto the recompence of the reward.
11:27	By faith he forsooke Egypt, and feared not the fiercenes of the king: for he endured, as he that sawe him which is inuisible.
11:28	Through faith he ordeined the Passeouer and the effusion of blood, least he that destroyed the first borne, should touche them.
11:29	By faith they passed through the red sea as by drie land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to doe, they were swallowed vp.
11:30	By faith the walles of Iericho fell downe after they were copassed about seue dayes.
11:31	By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them which obeyed not, when she had receiued the spies peaceably.
11:32	And what shall I more say? for the time would be too short for me to tell of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Sampson, and of Iephte, also of Dauid, and Samuel, and of the Prophets:
11:33	Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined the promises, stopped the mouthes of lions,
11:34	Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sworde, of weake were made strong, waxed valiant in battell, turned to flight the armies of the aliants.
11:35	The women receiued their dead raised to life: other also were racked, and woulde not be deliuered, that they might receiue a better resurrection.
11:36	And others haue bene tryed by mockings and scourgings, yea, moreouer by bondes and prisonment.
11:37	They were stoned, they were hewen asunder, they were tempted, they were slaine with the sworde, they wandred vp and downe in sheepes skinnes, and in goates skinnes, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented:
11:38	Whom the world was not worthie of: they wandered in wildernesses and mountaines, and dennes, and caues of the earth.
11:39	And these all through faith obteined good report, and receiued not the promise,
11:40	God prouiding a better thing for vs, that they without vs should not be made perfite.


11:1	Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
11:2	Because by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
11:3	Through faith we understand that the ages were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
11:4	By faith Abel offered to 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 still speaks.
11:5	By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; because before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
11:6	But without faith it is impossible to please Him, because, he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
11:7	By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with reverence, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
11:8	By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
11:9	By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;
11:10	because, he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11:11	By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
11:12	Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
11:13	These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were persuaded of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
11:14	Because those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.
11:15	And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.
11:16	But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, because He has prepared a city for them.
11:17	By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
11:18	of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed will be called,"
11:19	concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
11:20	By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
11:21	By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
11:22	By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
11:23	By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.
11:24	By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
11:25	choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,
11:26	esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; because he looked to the reward.
11:27	By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; because he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
11:28	Through faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
11:29	By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
11:30	By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days.
11:31	By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.
11:32	And what more shall I say? Because, the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:
11:33	who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
11:34	quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the foreigners.
11:35	Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
11:36	And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.
11:37	They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
11:38	of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.
11:39	And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,
11:40	God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
