58:011:005 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 58:011:006 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 58:011:007 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 58:011:008 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 58:011:009 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 58:011:010 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 58:011:011 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 58:011:012 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 58:011:013 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 58:011:014 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 58:011:015 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 58:011:016 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 58:011:017 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 58:011:018 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 58:011:019 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 58:011:020 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 58:011:021 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
