NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hebrews 11

The Triumphs of Faith

1

Nowg1161 faithg4102 is the  1 aassuranceg5287 of things  2 bhopedg1679 for, the  3convictiong1650 of  cthingsg4229 not seeng991.

2

For by it the  ameng4245 of oldg4245  1 bgainedg3140 approvalg3140.

3

By faithg4102 we understandg3539 that the  1 aworldsg165 were preparedg2675  bby the wordg4487 of Godg2316, sog1519 that what is seeng991  cwas not madeg1096 out of things which are visibleg5316.

4

By faithg4102  aAbelg6 offeredg4374 to Godg2316 a betterg4183 sacrificeg2378 thang3844 Caing2535, throughg1223 whichg3739 he  bobtainedg3140 the testimonyg3140 that he was righteousg1342, Godg2316 testifyingg3140  1aboutg1909 his  cgiftsg1435, and throughg1223  2faith, though  dhe is deadg599, he stillg2089 speaksg2980.

5

By faithg4102  aEnochg1802 was takeng3346a up so that he would not  bseeg3708 deathg2288; AND HE WAS NOT FOUNDg2147 BECAUSEg1360 GODg2316 TOOKg3346a HIM UP; for he obtainedg3140 the witnessg3140 that beforeg4253 his beingg3331 takeng3331 up he was pleasingg2100 to Godg2316.

6

And withoutg5565 faithg4102 it is impossibleg102 to pleaseg2100 Him, for he who  acomesg4334 to Godg2316 mustg1163 believeg4100 that He is and that He is a rewarderg3406 of thoseg3588 who seekg1567a Him.

7

By faithg4102  aNoahg3575, being  bwarnedg5537 by God aboutg4012  cthings not yetg3369 seeng991,  1 din reverenceg2125  epreparedg2680 an arkg2787 for the salvationg4991 of his householdg3624, by whichg3739 he condemnedg2632 the worldg2889, and becameg1096 an heirg2818 of  fthe righteousnessg1343 which is accordingg2596 to faithg4102.

8

By faithg4102  aAbrahamg11, when he was calledg2564, obeyedg5219  1by goingg1831 out to a placeg5117 whichg3739 he was to  breceiveg2983 for an inheritanceg2817; and he wentg1831 out, not knowingg1987 whereg4226 he was goingg2064.

9

By faithg4102 he livedg3939 as an alieng3939 in  athe landg1093 of promiseg1860, as in a foreigng245 land,  bdwellingg2730 in tentsg4633 with Isaacg2464 and Jacobg2384,  cfellowg4789 heirsg4789 of the sameg846 promiseg1860;

10

for he was lookingg1551 for  athe cityg4172 whichg3739 hasg2192  bfoundationsg2310b,  cwhoseg3739 architectg5079 and builderg1217 is Godg2316.

11

By faithg4102 eveng2532  aSarahg4564 herselfg846 receivedg2983  1abilityg1411 to conceiveg2602g4690, eveng2532 beyondg3844 the properg2540 timeg2540 of lifeg2244, sinceg1893 she consideredg2233 Him  bfaithfulg4103 who had promisedg1861.

12

Thereforeg1352 there was borng1096 eveng2532 of oneg1520 mang1520, and  ahim as good as deadg3499  1at that, as many descendants  bAS THE STARSg798 OF HEAVENg3772 IN NUMBERg4128, AND INNUMERABLEg382 AS THE SANDg285 WHICH IS BY THE SEASHOREg2281.

13

 aAllg3956 theseg3778 diedg599 in faithg4102,  bwithoutg3361 receivingg2865 the promisesg1860, but  chaving seeng3708 them and having welcomedg782 them from a distanceg4207, and  dhaving confessedg3670 that they were strangersg3581 and exilesg3927 on the earthg1093.

14

For thoseg3588 who sayg3004 suchg5108 thingsg5108 makeg1718 it clearg1718 that they are seekingg1934 a countryg3968 of their owng3968.

15

And indeedg3303a ifg1487 they had been  1thinkingg3421 of that country from whichg3739 they wentg1544a out,  athey would have hadg2192 opportunityg2540 to returng344.

16

But as it is, they desireg3713 a betterg2909 country, that is, a  aheavenlyg2032 oneg2032. Thereforeg1352  bGodg2316 is not  1ashamedg1870 to be  ccalledg1941 their Godg2316; for  dHe has preparedg2090 a cityg4172 for them.

17

By faithg4102  aAbrahamg11, when he was testedg3985, offeredg4374 up Isaacg2464, and he who had  breceivedg324 the promisesg1860 was offeringg4374 up his onlyg3439 begotteng3439 son;

18

it was he to whomg3739 it was saidg2980, " aIN ISAACg2464 YOUR  1DESCENDANTSg4690 SHALL BE CALLEDg2564."

19

 1He consideredg3049 that  aGodg2316 is ableg1415 to raiseg1453 people eveng2532 from the deadg3498, from whichg3606 he alsog2532 receivedg2865 him backg2865  2as a  btypeg3850b.

20

By faithg4102  aIsaacg2464 blessedg2127 Jacobg2384 and Esaug2269a, eveng2532 regardingg4012 thingsg3195 to comeg3195.

21

By faithg4102  aJacobg2384, as he was dyingg599, blessedg2127 eachg1538 of the sonsg5207 of Josephg2501, and  bworshipedg4352, leaning on the topg206 of his staffg4464.

22

By faithg4102  aJosephg2501, when he was dyingg5053, madeg3421 mentiong3421 of the exodusg1841 of the sonsg5207 of Israelg2474, and gaveg1781 ordersg1781 concerningg4012 his bonesg3747.

23

By faithg4102  aMosesg3475, when he was borng1080, was hiddeng2928 for threeg5150 monthsg5150 by his parentsg3962, becauseg1360 they sawg3708 he was a beautifulg791 childg3813; and they were not afraidg5399 of the  bking'sg935 edictg1297.

24

By faithg4102 Mosesg3475,  awhen he had growng3173g1096 up, refusedg720 to be calledg3004 the song5207 of Pharaoh'sg5328 daughterg2364,

25

choosingg138 ratherg3123 to  aendureg4778 ill-treatmentg4778 with the peopleg2992 of Godg2316 thang2228 to enjoyg619 the passingg4340 pleasuresg619 of sing266,

26

 aconsideringg2233 the reproachg3680 of  1Christg5547 greaterg3173 richesg4149 than the treasuresg2344 of Egyptg125; for he was lookingg578 to the  brewardg3405.

27

By faithg4102 he  aleftg2641 Egyptg125, not  bfearingg5399 the wrathg2372 of the kingg935; for he enduredg2594, as  cseeingg3708 Him who is unseeng517.

28

By faithg4102 he  1 akeptg4160 the Passoverg3957 and the sprinklingg4378 of the bloodg129, sog2443 that  bhe who destroyedg3639 the firstborng4416a would not touchg2345 them.

29

By faithg4102 they  apassedg1224 throughg1224 the Redg2063 Seag2281 as thoughg5613 they were passing throughg1223 dryg3584 landg1093; and the Egyptiansg124, when they attemptedg3984g2983 it, were  1drownedg2666.

30

By faithg4102  athe wallsg5038 of Jerichog2410a fellg4098 downg4098  bafter they had been encircledg2944 for seveng2033 daysg2250.

31

By faithg4102  aRahabg4460 the harlotg4204 did not perishg4881 alongg4881 with thoseg3588 who were disobedientg544, after she had welcomedg1209 the spiesg2685  1in peaceg1515.

32

And whatg5101 moreg2089 shall I sayg3004? For timeg5550 will failg1952a me if I tellg1334 of  aGideong1066,  bBarakg913,  cSamsong4546,  dJephthahg2422, of  eDavidg1160b and  fSamuelg4545 and the prophetsg4396,

33

whog3739 by faithg4102  aconqueredg2610 kingdomsg932,  bperformedg2038b acts of righteousnessg1343,  cobtainedg2013 promisesg1860,  dshutg5420 the mouthsg4750 of lionsg3023,

34

 aquenchedg4570 the powerg1411 of fireg4442,  bescapedg5343 the edgeg4750 of the swordg3162, from weaknessg769 were madeg1412 strongg1412,  cbecameg1096 mightyg2478 in warg4171,  cputg2827 foreigng245 armiesg3925b to flightg2827.

35

 aWomeng1135 receivedg2983 back their deadg3498 by resurrectiong386; and othersg243 were torturedg5178, not acceptingg4327 their  1releaseg629, sog2443 that they might obtaing5177 a betterg2909 resurrectiong386;

36

and othersg2087  1experiencedg2983g3984 mockingsg1701b and scourgingsg3148, yesg2089, alsog1161  achainsg1199 and imprisonmentg5438.

37

They were  astonedg3034, they were  bsawng4249 in twog4249,  1they were temptedg3985, they were  cputg599 to deathg599g1722g5408 with the swordg3162; they wentg4022 aboutg4022  din sheepskinsg3374, in goatskinsg122g1192, being destituteg5302, afflictedg2346,  eill-treatedg2558

38

(men of whomg3739 the worldg2889 was not worthyg514),  awanderingg4105 in desertsg2047 and mountainsg3735 and cavesg4693 and holesg3692  1in the groundg1093.

39

And allg3956 theseg3778, having  1 againedg3140 approvalg3140 throughg1223 their faithg4102,  bdid not receiveg2865  2whatg1860 was promisedg1860,

40

because Godg2316 had  1providedg4265  asomethingg5100 betterg2909 for us, sog2443 that  bapartg5565 from us they would not be madeg5048 perfectg5048.
