010:033 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. 010:034 For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. 010:035 Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 010:036 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise. 010:037 "In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait. 010:038 But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."{Habakkuk 2:3-4} 010:039 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul. 011:001 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. 011:002 For by this, the elders obtained testimony. 011:003 By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. 011:004 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks. 011:005 By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn't see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God. 011:006 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. 011:007 By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. 011:008 By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went. 011:009 By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. 011:010 For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 011:011 By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised. 011:012 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
