counted{G2233} him{G1861} faithful{G4103} who had promised:{G1861} 12 wherefore{G1352} also there sprang{G1080} of{G575} one,{G1520} and{G2532} him{G5023} as{G2531} good as dead,{G3499} [so many] as{G2531} the stars{G798} of heaven in multitude,{G4128} and{G2532} as{G5616} the{G5491} sand,{G285} which is{G3588} by{G3844} the {G2281} sea-shore,{G5491} innumerable.{G382} 13 These{G3778} all{G3956} died{G599} in{G2596} faith,{G4102} not{G3361} having received{G2983} the promises,{G1860} but{G235} having seen{G1492} them{G846} and{G2532} greeted{G782} them from afar,{G4207} and{G2532} having confessed{G3670} that{G3754} they were{G1526} strangers{G3581} and{G2532} pilgrims{G3927} on{G1909} the earth.{G1093} 14 For{G1063} they that say{G3004} such things{G5108} make it manifest{G1718} that{G3754} they are seeking{G1934} after a country{G3968} of their own. 15 And{G2532} if{G1487} indeed{G3303} they had been mindful{G3421} of that{G1565} [country] from{G575} which{G3739} they went out,{G1831} they would have had{G2192} {G302} opportunity{G2540} to return.{G344} 16 But{G1161} now{G3570} they desire{G3713} a better{G2909} [country], that{G5124} is,{G2076} a

city.{G4172} 17 By faith{G4102} Abraham,{G11} being tried,{G3985} offered up{G4374} Isaac:{G2464} yea,{G2532} he that had gladly received{G324} the promises{G1860} was offering up{G4374} his only begotten{G3439} [son]; 18 [None even he] to{G4314} whom{G3739} it was said,{G2980} {G3754} In{G1722} Isaac{G2464} shall{G2564} thy{G4671} seed{G4690} be called:{G2564} 19 accounting{G3049} that{G3754} God{G2316} [is] able{G1415} to raise{G1453} up,{G1453} even{G2532} from{G1537} the dead;{G3498} from whence{G3606} he did also{G2532} in{G1722} a figure{G3850} receive{G2865} him{G846} back. 20 By faith{G4102} Isaac{G2464} blessed{G2127} Jacob{G2384} and{G2532} Esau,{G2269} even concerning{G4012} things to come.{G3195} 21 By faith{G4102} Jacob,{G2384} when he was dying,{G599} blessed{G2127}

end{G5053} was nigh, made mention{G3421} of{G4012} the departure{G1841} of the children{G5207} of Israel;{G2474} and{G2532} gave commandment{G1781} concerning{G4012} his{G846} bones.{G3747} 23 By

son{G5207} of{G2364} Pharaoh's{G5328} daughter;{G2364} 25 choosing{G138} rather{G3123} to share ill treatment with{G4778} the people{G2992} of God,{G2316} than{G2228} to enjoy{G2192} the pleasures{G619} of sin{G266} for a season;{G4340} 26 accounting{G2233} the reproach{G3680} of Christ{G5547} greater{G3173} riches{G4149} than the treasures{G2344} of{G1722} Egypt:{G125} for{G1063} he looked{G578} unto{G1519} the recompense of reward.{G3405} 27 By faith{G4102} he forsook{G2641} Egypt,{G125} not{G3361} fearing{G5399} the wrath{G2372} of the king:{G935} for{G1063} he endured,{G2594} as{G5613} seeing{G3708} him who is invisible.{G517} 28 By faith{G4102} he kept{G4160} the passover,{G3957} and{G2532} the sprinkling{G4378} of the blood,{G2443} that the destroyer{G3645} of the firstborn{G4416} should not{G3361} touch{G2345} them.{G846} 29 By faith{G4102} they passed through{G1224} the{G2281} Red{G2063} sea{G2281} as{G5613} by{G1223} dry{G3584} land: which{G3739} the Egyptians{G124} assaying{G3984} to do{G2983} were swallowed{G2666} up. 30 By faith{G4102} the walls{G5038} of Jericho{G2410} fell down,{G4098} after they had been compassed{G2944} about{G1909} for seven{G2033} days.{G2250} 31 By faith{G4102} Rahab{G4460} the harlot{G4204} perished{G4881} not{G3756} with{G4881} them that were disobedient,{G544} having received{G1209} the spies{G2685} with{G3326}
