11Verse 1Fayth is a sure confidence of thynges which are hoped for and a certayntie of thynges which are not sene.Verse 2By it the elders were well reported of.Verse 3Thorow fayth we vnderstonde that the worlde was ordeyned by the worde of god: and that thynges which are sene were made of thynges which are not sene.Verse 4By fayth Abell offered vnto god a more plenteous sacrifice then Cayn: by which he obteyned witnes that he was righteous god testifyinge of his gyftes: by which also he beynge deed yet speaketh.Verse 5By fayth was Enoch traslated that he shuld not se deeth: nether was he founde: for God had taken him awaye. Before he was taken awaye he was reported of that he had pleased God:Verse 6but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him.Verse 7By fayth Noe honored God after that he was warned of thinges which were not sene and prepared the arcke to the savinge of his houssholde thorowe the which arcke he condempned the worlde and became heyre of the rightewesnes which commeth by fayth.Verse 8By fayth Abraham when he was called obeyed to goo out into a place which he shuld afterwarde receave to inheritaunce and he wet out not knowynge whether he shuld goo.Verse 9By fayth he removed into the londe that was promysed him as into a straunge countre and dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac and Iacob heyres with him of the same promes.Verse 10For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacion whose bylder and maker is God.Verse 11Thorow fayth Sara also receaved stregth to be with chylde and was delivered of a chylde when she was past age because she iudged him faythfull which had promysed.Verse 12And therfore spronge therof one (and of one which was as good as deed) so many in multitude as the starres of the skye and as the sond of the see shore which is innumerable.Verse 13And they all dyed in fayth and receaved not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of and beleved them and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.Verse 14They that saye soche thinges declare that they seke a countre.Verse 15Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne.Verse 16But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.Verse 17In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac when he was tempted and he offered him beinge his only begotten sonne which had receaved the promysesVerse 18of whom it was sayde in Isaac shall thy seed be called:Verse 19for he considered that God was able to rayse vp agayne from deeth. Wherfore receaved he him for an ensample.Verse 20In fayth Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau concerninge thinges to come.Verse 21By fayth Iacob when he was a dyinge blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph and bowed him selfe towarde the toppe of his cepter.Verse 22By fayth Ioseph when he dyed remembred the departinge of the chyldren of Israel and gave commaundement of his bones.Verse 23By fayth Moses when he was borne was hid thre monethes of his father and mother be cause they sawe he was a proper chylde: nether feared they the kynges commaundement.Verse 24By fayth Moses when he was great refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughterVerse 25and chose rather to suffre adversitie with the people of God then to enioye the pleasurs of synne for a ceasonVerse 26and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater ryches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect vnto the rewarde.Verse 27By fayth he forsoke Egypt and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured even as he had sene him which is invisible.Verse 28Thorow fayth he ordeyned the ester lambe and the effusion of bloud lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne shuld touche them.Verse 29By fayth they passed thorow the reed see as by drye londe which when the Egypcians had assayed to do they were drouned.Verse 30By fayth the walles of Ierico fell doune after they were compased about seven dayes.Verse 31By fayth the harlot Raab perisshed not with the vnbelevers when she had receaved the spyes to lodgynge peaseably.Verse 32And what shall I more saye the tyme wold be to short for me to tell of Gedeo of Barach and of Samson and of Iephthae: also of David and Samuel and of the Prophetes:Verse 33which thorowe fayth subdued kyngdomes wrought righteousnes obteyned the promyses stopped the mouthes of lyonsVerse 34quenched the violence of fyre escaped the edge of the swearde of weake were made stroge waxed valient in fight turned to flyght the armyes of the alientes.Verse 35And the wemen receaved their deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked and wolde not be delyvered that they myght receave a better resurreccion.Verse 36Other tasted of mockynges and scourginginges morover of bondes and presonment:Verse 37were stoned were hewen a sunder were tepted were slayne with sweardes walked vppe and doune in shepes skynnes in gotes skynnes in nede tribulacion and vexacionVerse 38which the worlde was not worthy of: they wadred in wildernes in moutaynes in dennes and caves of the erth.Verse 39And these all thorow fayth obtayned good reporte and receaved not the promesVerse 40God provydinge a better thinge for vs that they with out vs shuld not be made parfecte.
