7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned about things not yet seen, moved with
godly fear, prepared an ark to save his family, by which he condemned the world
and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he
would later receive as an inheritance. He went out not knowing where he was
going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the promised land, as in a foreign land, dwelling in
tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs of the same promise, 10 for he was looking
for a city which has foundaons, whose builder and maker is God. 11 By faith
Sarah herself also received the ability to conceive seed, and she bore a child when
she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 12
Therefore from one man, who was as good as dead, sprang so many, a multude
as the stars of the sky and innumerable as the sand by the seashore.
13 These all died in faith not having received the promises, but having seen them
from afar were assured of them, embraced them, and confessed that they were
strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 Those who say such things declare plainly
that they are looking for a homeland. 15 And certainly, if they had been thinking
of the country out of which they came, they might have had the opportunity to
return. 16 But they desired a beter country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore
God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had
received the promises offered up his only begoten son. 18 Of him God said,
“Through Isaac shall your seed be named.” 19 He reasoned that God was able to
raise him up, even from the dead, from which he indeed received him in a
figurave sense.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and
worshipped while leaning on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, menoned the exodus of the children of
Israel and gave instrucons concerning his bones.
