Hebrews - ch 11 v 21 - 40
- By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, `leaning' upon the top of his staff.
- By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
- By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
- By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
- choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
- accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
- By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
- By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
- By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.
- By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.
- By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.
- And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:
- who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
- quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.
- Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
- and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
- they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
- (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
- And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,
- God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
