Heb 11:2-12:1 : 2 For{G1063} by{G1722} it{G5026} the elders{G4245} obtained a good report{G3140}{(G5681)}. 3 Through faith{G4102} we understand{G3539}{(G5719)} that the worlds{G165} were framed{G2675}{(G5771)} by the word{G4487} of God{G2316}, so{G1519} that things which{G3588} are seen{G991}{(G5746)} were{G1096} not{G3361} made{G1096}{(G5755)} of{G1537} things which do appear{G5316}{(G5730)}. 4 By faith{G4102} Abel{G6} offered{G4374}{(G5656)} unto God{G2316} a more excellent{G4119} sacrifice{G2378} than{G3844} Cain{G2535}, by{G1223} which{G3739} he obtained witness{G3140}{(G5681)} that he was{G1511}{(G5750)} righteous{G1342}, God{G2316} testifying{G3140}{(G5723)} of{G1909} his{G846} gifts{G1435}: and{G2532} by{G1223} it{G846} he being dead{G599}{(G5631)} yet{G2089} speaketh{G2980}{(G5731)}{(G5625)}{G2980}{(G5719)}. 5 By faith{G4102} Enoch{G1802} was translated{G3346}{(G5681)} that he should{G1492} not{G3361} see{G1492}{(G5629)} death{G2288}; and{G2532} was{G2147} not{G3756} found{G2147}{(G5712)}, because{G1360} God{G2316} had translated{G3346}{(G5656)} him{G846}: for{G1063} before{G4253} his{G846} translation{G3331} he had this testimony{G3140}{(G5769)}, that he pleased{G2100}{(G5760)} God{G2316}. 6 But{G1161} without{G5565} faith{G4102} it is impossible{G102} to please{G2100}{(G5658)} him: for{G1063} he that cometh{G4334}{(G5740)} to God{G2316} must{G1163}{(G5748)} believe{G4100}{(G5658)} that{G3754} he is{G2076}{(G5748)}, and{G2532} that he is{G1096}{(G5736)} a rewarder{G3406} of them that diligently seek{G1567}{(G5723)} him{G846}. 7 By faith{G4102} Noah{G3575}, being warned of God{G5537}{(G5685)} of{G4012} things not{G3369} seen{G991}{(G5746)} as yet{G3369}, moved with fear{G2125}{(G5685)}, prepared{G2680}{(G5656)} an ark{G2787} to{G1519} the saving{G4991} of his{G846} house{G3624}; by{G1223} the which{G3739} he condemned{G2632}{(G5656)} the world{G2889}, and{G2532} became{G1096}{(G5633)} heir{G2818} of the righteousness{G1343} which is by{G2596} faith{G4102}. 8 By faith{G4102} Abraham{G11}, when he was called{G2564}{(G5746)} to go out{G1831}{(G5629)} into{G1519} a place{G5117} which{G3739} he should after{G3195}{(G5707)} receive{G2983}{(G5721)} for{G1519} an inheritance{G2817}, obeyed{G5219}{(G5656)}; and{G2532} he went out{G1831}{(G5627)}, not{G3361} knowing{G1987}{(G5740)} whither{G4226} he went{G2064}{(G5736)}. 9 By faith{G4102} he sojourned{G3939}{(G5656)} in{G1519} the land{G1093} of promise{G1860}, as{G5613} in a strange country{G245}, dwelling{G2730}{(G5660)} in{G1722} tabernacles{G4633} with{G3326} Isaac{G2464} and{G2532} Jacob{G2384}, the heirs with him{G4789} of the same{G846} promise{G1860}: 10 For{G1063} he looked for{G1551}{(G5711)} a city{G4172} which hath{G2192}{(G5723)} foundations{G2310}, whose{G3739} builder{G5079} and{G2532} maker{G1217} is God{G2316}. 11 Through faith{G4102} also{G2532} Sara{G4564} herself{G846} received{G2983}{(G5627)} strength{G1411} to{G1519} conceive{G2602} seed{G4690}, and{G2532} was delivered of a child{G5088}{(G5627)} when she was past{G3844} age{G2540}{G2244}, because{G1893} she judged{G2233}{(G5662)} him faithful{G4103} who had promised{G1861}{(G5666)}. 12 Therefore{G1352} sprang there{G1080}{(G5681)} even{G2532} of{G575} one{G1520}, and{G2532} him{G5023} as good as dead{G3499}{(G5772)}, so many as{G2531} the stars{G798} of the sky{G3772} in multitude{G4128}, and{G2532} as{G5616} the sand{G285} which{G3588} is by{G3844} the sea{G2281} shore{G5491} innumerable{G382}. 13 These{G3778} all{G3956} died{G599}{(G5627)} in{G2596} faith{G4102}, not{G3361} having received{G2983}{(G5631)} the promises{G1860}, but{G235} having seen{G1492}{(G5631)} them{G846} afar off{G4207}, and{G2532} were persuaded of{G3982}{(G5685)} them, and{G2532} embraced{G782}{(G5666)} them, and{G2532} confessed{G3670}{(G5660)} that{G3754} they were{G1526}{(G5748)} strangers{G3581} and{G2532} pilgrims{G3927} on{G1909} the earth{G1093}. 14 For{G1063} they that say{G3004}{(G5723)} such things{G5108} declare plainly{G1718}{(G5719)} that{G3754} they seek{G1934}{(G5719)} a country{G3968}. 15 And{G2532} truly{G3303}, if{G1487} they had been mindful{G3421}{(G5707)} of that{G1565} country from{G575} whence{G3739} they came out{G1831}{(G5627)}, they might{G302} have had{G2192}{(G5707)} opportunity{G2540} to have returned{G344}{(G5658)}. 16 But{G1161} now{G3570} they desire{G3713}{(G5734)} a better{G2909} country, that is{G5123}{(G5748)}, an heavenly{G2032}: wherefore{G1352} God{G2316} is{G1870} not{G3756} ashamed{G1870}{(G5736)}{G846} to be called{G1941}{(G5745)} their{G846} God{G2316}: for{G1063} he hath prepared{G2090}{(G5656)} for them{G846} a city{G4172}. 17 By faith{G4102} Abraham{G11}, when he was tried{G3985}{(G5746)}, offered up{G4374}{(G5754)} Isaac{G2464}: and{G2532} he that had received{G324}{(G5666)} the promises{G1860} offered up{G4374}{(G5707)} his only begotten{G3439} son, 18 Of{G4314} whom{G3739} it was said{G2980}{(G5681)}, That{G3754} in{G1722} Isaac{G2464} shall{G2564} thy{G4671} seed{G4690} be called{G2564}{(G5701)}: 19 Accounting{G3049}{(G5666)} that{G3754} God{G2316} was able{G1415} to raise him up{G1453}{(G5721)}, even{G2532} from{G1537} the dead{G3498}; from whence{G3606} also{G2532} he received{G2865}{(G5668)} him{G846} in{G1722} a figure{G3850}. 20 By faith{G4102} Isaac{G2464} blessed{G2127}{(G5656)} Jacob{G2384} and{G2532} Esau{G2269} concerning{G4012} things to come{G3195}{(G5723)}. 21 By faith{G4102} Jacob{G2384}, when he was a dying{G599}{(G5723)}, blessed{G2127}{(G5656)} both{G1538} the sons{G5207} of Joseph{G2501}; and{G2532} worshipped{G4352}{(G5656)}, leaning upon{G1909} the top{G206} of his{G846} staff{G4464}. 22 By faith{G4102} Joseph{G2501}, when he died{G5053}{(G5723)}, made mention{G3421}{(G5656)} of{G4012} the departing{G1841} of the children{G5207} of Israel{G2474}; and{G2532} gave commandment{G1781}{(G5662)} concerning{G4012} his{G846} bones{G3747}. 23 By faith{G4102} Moses{G3475}, when he was born{G1080}{(G5685)}, was hid{G2928}{(G5648)} three months{G5150} of{G5259} his{G846} parents{G3962}, because{G1360} they saw{G1492}{(G5627)} he was a proper{G791} child{G3813}; and{G2532} they were{G5399} not{G3756} afraid{G5399}{(G5675)} of the king's{G935} commandment{G1297}. 24 By faith{G4102} Moses{G3475}, when he was come{G1096}{(G5637)} to years{G3173}, refused{G720}{(G5662)} to be called{G3004}{(G5745)} the son{G5207} of Pharaoh's{G5328} daughter{G2364}; 25 Choosing{G138}{(G5642)} rather{G3123} to suffer affliction{G4778}{(G5738)} with the people{G2992} of God{G2316}, than{G2228} to enjoy the pleasures{G2192}{(G5721)}{G619} of sin{G266} for a season{G4340}; 26 Esteeming{G2233} the reproach{G3680} of Christ{G5547} greater{G3187} riches{G4149} than{G2233}{(G5666)} the treasures{G2344} in{G1722} Egypt{G125}: for{G1063} he had respect{G578}{(G5707)} unto{G1519} the recompence of the reward{G3405}. 27 By faith{G4102} he forsook{G2641}{(G5627)} Egypt{G125}, not{G3361} fearing{G5399}{(G5679)} the wrath{G2372} of the king{G935}: for{G1063} he endured{G2594}{(G5656)}, as{G5613} seeing{G3708}{(G5723)} him who is invisible{G517}. 28 Through faith{G4102} he kept{G4160}{(G5758)} the passover{G3957}, and{G2532} the sprinkling{G4378} of blood{G129}, lest{G3363} he that destroyed{G3645}{(G5723)} the firstborn{G4416} should touch{G2345}{(G5632)} them{G846}. 29 By faith{G4102} they passed through{G1224}{(G5627)} the Red{G2063} sea{G2281} as{G5613} by{G1223} dry{G3584} land: which{G3739} the Egyptians{G124} assaying{G3984} to do{G2983}{(G5631)} were drowned{G2666}{(G5681)}. 30 By faith{G4102} the walls{G5038} of Jericho{G2410} fell down{G4098}{(G5627)}, after they were compassed{G2944}{(G5685)} about{G1909} seven{G2033} days{G2250}. 31 By faith{G4102} the harlot{G4204} Rahab{G4460} perished{G4881}{(G5639)} not{G3756} with them that believed not{G544}{(G5660)}, when she had received{G1209}{(G5666)} the spies{G2685} with{G3326} peace{G1515}. 32 And{G2532} what{G5101} shall I{G3004} more{G2089} say{G3004}{(G5725)}? for{G1063} the time{G5550} would fail{G1952}{(G5692)} me{G3165} to tell{G1334}{(G5740)} of{G4012} Gedeon{G1066}, and{G5037} of Barak{G913}, and{G2532} of Samson{G4546}, and{G2532} of Jephthae{G2422}; of David{G1138} also{G2532}, and{G5037} Samuel{G4545}, and{G2532} of the prophets{G4396}: 33 Who{G3739} through{G1223} faith{G4102} subdued{G2610}{(G5662)} kingdoms{G932}, wrought{G2038}{(G5662)} righteousness{G1343}, obtained{G2013}{(G5627)} promises{G1860}, stopped{G5420}{(G5656)} the mouths{G4750} of lions{G3023}, 34 Quenched{G4570}{(G5656)} the violence{G1411} of fire{G4442}, escaped{G5343}{(G5627)} the edge{G4750} of the sword{G3162}, out of{G575} weakness{G769} were made strong{G1743}{(G5681)}, waxed{G1096}{(G5675)} valiant{G2478} in{G1722} fight{G4171}, turned to flight{G2827}{(G5656)} the armies{G3925} of the aliens{G245}. 35 Women{G1135} received{G2983}{(G5627)} their{G846} dead{G3498} raised to life again{G1537}{G386}: and{G1161} others{G243} were tortured{G5178}{(G5681)}, not{G3756} accepting{G4327}{(G5666)} deliverance{G629}; that{G2443} they might obtain{G5177}{(G5632)} a better{G2909} resurrection{G386}: 36 And{G1161} others{G2087} had{G2983}{(G5627)} trial{G3984} of cruel mockings{G1701} and{G2532} scourgings{G3148}, yea{G1161}, moreover{G2089} of bonds{G1199} and{G2532} imprisonment{G5438}: 37 They were stoned{G3034}{(G5681)}, they were sawn asunder{G4249}{(G5681)}, were tempted{G3985}{(G5681)}, were slain{G599}{(G5627)} with{G1722} the sword{G5408}{G3162}: they wandered about{G4022}{(G5627)} in{G1722} sheepskins{G3374} and{G1722} goatskins{G122}{G1192}; being destitute{G5302}{(G5746)}, afflicted{G2346}{(G5746)}, tormented{G2558}{(G5746)}; 38 (Of whom{G3739} the world{G2889} was{G2258}{(G5713)} not{G3756} worthy{G514}:) they wandered{G4105}{(G5746)} in{G1722} deserts{G2047}, and{G2532} in mountains{G3735}, and{G2532} in dens{G4693} and{G2532} caves{G3692} of the earth{G1093}. 39 And{G2532} these{G3778} all{G3956}, having obtained a good report{G3140}{(G5685)} through{G1223} faith{G4102}, received{G2865}{(G5668)} not{G3756} the promise{G1860}: 40 God{G2316} having provided{G4265}{(G5671)} some{G5100} better{G2909} thing{G5100} for{G4012} us{G2257}, that{G3363} they{G5048} without{G5565} us{G2257} should{G5048} not{G3363} be made perfect{G5048}{(G5686)}. 1 Wherefore{G5105} seeing we also{G2532} are{G2192}{(G5723)} compassed about{G4029}{(G5740)}{G2254} with so great{G5118} a cloud{G3509} of witnesses{G3144}, let{G659} us{G2249} lay aside{G659}{(G5642)} every{G3956} weight{G3591}, and{G2532} the sin{G266} which doth so easily beset{G2139} us, and let us run{G5143}{(G5725)} with{G1223} patience{G5281} the race{G73} that is set before{G4295}{(G5740)} us{G2254},
John 13:17 : 17 If{G1487} ye know{G1492}{(G5758)} these things{G5023}, happy{G3107} are ye{G2075}{(G5748)} if{G1437} ye do{G4160}{(G5725)} them{G846}.
Acts 17:11 : 11 {G1161} These{G3778} were{G2258}{(G5713)} more noble{G2104} than those in{G1722} Thessalonica{G2332}, in that they{G3748} received{G1209}{(G5662)} the word{G3056} with{G3326} all{G3956} readiness of mind{G4288}, and searched{G350}{(G5723)} the scriptures{G1124} daily{G2250}{G2596}, whether{G1487} those things{G5023} were{G2192}{(G5722)} so{G3779}.
Rom 4:1-6 : 1 What{G5101} shall we say{G2046}{(G5692)} then{G3767} that Abraham{G11} our{G2257} father{G3962}, as pertaining{G2596} to the flesh{G4561}, hath found{G2147}{(G5760)}? 2 For{G1063} if{G1487} Abraham{G11} were justified{G1344}{(G5681)} by{G1537} works{G2041}, he hath{G2192}{(G5719)} whereof to glory{G2745}; but{G235} not{G3756} before{G4314} God{G2316}. 3 For{G1063} what{G5101} saith{G3004}{(G5719)} the scripture{G1124}?{G1161} Abraham{G11} believed{G4100}{(G5656)} God{G2316}, and{G2532} it was counted{G3049}{(G5681)} unto him{G846} for{G1519} righteousness{G1343}. 4 Now{G1161} to him that worketh{G2038}{(G5740)} is{G3049} the reward{G3408} not{G3756} reckoned{G3049}{(G5736)} of{G2596} grace{G5485}, but{G235} of{G2596} debt{G3783}. 5 But{G1161} to him that worketh{G2038}{(G5740)} not{G3361}, but{G1161} believeth{G4100}{(G5723)} on{G1909} him that justifieth{G1344}{(G5723)} the ungodly{G765}, his{G846} faith{G4102} is counted{G3049}{(G5736)} for{G1519} righteousness{G1343}. 6 Even as{G2509} David{G1138} also{G2532} describeth{G3004}{(G5719)} the blessedness{G3108} of the man{G444}, unto whom{G3739} God{G2316} imputeth{G3049}{(G5736)} righteousness{G1343} without{G5565} works{G2041},

Jer 2:25 : 25 Withhold{H4513}{(H8798)} thy foot{H7272} from being unshod{H3182}, and thy throat{H1627} from thirst{H6773}: but thou saidst{H559}{(H8799)}, There is no hope{H2976}{(H8737)}: no; for I have loved{H157}{(H8804)} strangers{H2114}{(H8801)}, and after{H310} them will I go{H3212}{(H8799)}.
Song 1:7-8 : 7 Tell{H5046}{(H8685)} me, O thou whom my soul{H5315} loveth{H157}{(H8804)}, where thou feedest{H7462}{(H8799)}, where{H349} thou makest thy flock to rest{H7257}{(H8686)} at noon{H6672}: for{H4100} why should I be as one that turneth aside{H5844}{(H8802)} by the flocks{H5739} of thy companions{H2270}? 8 If thou know{H3045}{(H8799)} not, O thou fairest{H3303} among women{H802}, go thy way forth{H3318}{(H8798)} by the footsteps{H6119} of the flock{H6629}, and feed{H7462}{(H8798)} thy kids{H1429} beside the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}' tents{H4908}.
Jer 22:21 : 21 I spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto thee in thy prosperity{H7962}; but thou saidst{H559}{(H8804)}, I will not hear{H8085}{(H8799)}. This hath been thy manner{H1870} from thy youth{H5271}, that thou obeyedst{H8085}{(H8804)} not my voice{H6963}.
Matt 21:28-32 : 28 But{G1161} what{G5101} think{G1380}{(G5719)} ye{G5213}? A certain man{G444} had{G2192}{(G5707)} two{G1417} sons{G5043}; and{G2532} he came{G4334}{(G5631)} to the first{G4413}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Son{G5043}, go{G5217}{(G5720)} work{G2038}{(G5737)} to day{G4594} in{G1722} my{G3450} vineyard{G290}. 29 He answered{G1161}{G611}{(G5679)} and said{G2036}{(G5627)}, I will{G2309}{(G5719)} not{G3756}: but{G1161} afterward{G5305} he repented{G3338}{(G5679)}, and went{G565}{(G5627)}. 30 And{G2532} he came{G4334}{(G5631)} to the second{G1208}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)} likewise{G5615}. And{G1161} he answered{G611}{(G5679)} and said{G2036}{(G5627)}, I{G1473} go, sir{G2962}: and{G2532} went{G565}{(G5627)} not{G3756}. 31 Whether{G5101} of{G1537} them twain{G1417} did{G4160}{(G5656)} the will{G2307} of his father{G3962}? They say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, The first{G4413}. Jesus{G2424} saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, Verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, That{G3754} the publicans{G5057} and{G2532} the harlots{G4204} go{G4254} into{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316} before{G4254}{(G5719)} you{G5209}. 32 For{G1063} John{G2491} came{G2064}{(G5627)} unto{G4314} you{G5209} in{G1722} the way{G3598} of righteousness{G1343}, and{G2532} ye believed{G4100}{(G5656)} him{G846} not{G3756}: but{G1161} the publicans{G5057} and{G2532} the harlots{G4204} believed{G4100}{(G5656)} him{G846}: and{G1161} ye{G5210}, when ye had seen{G1492}{(G5631)} it, repented{G3338}{(G5675)} not{G3756} afterward{G5305}, that ye might believe{G4100}{(G5658)} him{G846}.
John 5:39 : 39 Search{G2045}{(G5719)} the scriptures{G1124}; for{G3754} in{G1722} them{G846} ye{G5210} think{G1380}{(G5719)} ye have{G2192}{(G5721)} eternal{G166} life{G2222}: and{G2532} they{G1565} are they{G1526}{(G5748)} which testify{G3140}{(G5723)} of{G4012} me{G1700}.
John 5:46-47 : 46 For{G1063}{G1487} had ye believed{G4100}{(G5707)} Moses{G3475}, ye would have believed{G4100}{(G5707)}{G302} me{G1698}: for{G1063} he{G1565} wrote{G1125}{(G5656)} of{G4012} me{G1700}. 47 But{G1161} if{G1487} ye believe{G4100}{(G5719)} not{G3756} his{G1565} writings{G1121}, how{G4459} shall ye believe{G4100}{(G5692)} my{G1699} words{G4487}?
