| 1 | Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἐλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων. |
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. | Faith Hb.11.1-40

| 2 | ἐν ταύτῃ γὰρ ἐμαρτυρήθησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι. |
For by it the men of old received divine approval. |
|
| 3 | Πίστει νοοῦμεν κατηρτίσθαι τοὺς αἰῶνας ῥήματι θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐκ φαινομένων τὸ βλεπόμενον γεγονέναι. |
By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear. |
|
| 4 | Πίστει πλείονα θυσίαν Ἅβελ παρὰ Κάϊν προσήνεγκεν τῷ θεῷ, δῖ ἧς ἐμαρτυρήθη εἶναι δίκαιος, μαρτυροῦντος ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ δῖ αὐτῆς ἀποθανὼν ἐτι λαλει '. |
By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received approval as righteous, God bearing witness by accepting his gifts; he died, but through his faith he is still speaking. |
|
| 5 | Πίστει Ἑνὼχ μετετέθη τοῦ μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον, καὶ οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο διότι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός· πρὸ γὰρ τῆς μεταθέσεως μεμαρτύρηται εὐαρεστηκέναι τῷ θεῷ, |
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God. | - By faith Enoch was taken up Hb.11.5 | Gn.5.24 | Sir.44.16
|
| 6 | χωρὶς δὲ πίστεως ἀδύνατον εὐαρεστῆσαι, πιστεῦσαι γὰρ δεῖ τὸν προσερχόμενον τῷ θεῷ ὅτι ἐστιν καὶ τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτὸν μισθαποδότης γίνεται. |
And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. |
|
| 7 | Πίστει χρηματισθεὶς Νῶε περὶ τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων εὐλαβηθεὶς κατεσκεύασεν κιβωτὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν τοῦ οἰκου αὐτοῦ, δῖ ἧς κατέκρινεν τὸν κόσμον, καὶ τῆς κατὰ πίστιν δικαιοσύνης ἐγένετο κληρονόμος. |
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, took heed and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by faith. |
|
| 8 | Πίστει καλούμενος Ἀβραὰμ ὑπήκουσεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τόπον ὃν ἠμελλεν λαμβάνειν εἰς κληρονομίαν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν μὴ ἐπιστάμενος ποῦ ἐρχεται. |

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. |
|
| 10 | ἐξεδέχετο γὰρ τὴν τοὺς θεμελίους ἐχουσαν πόλιν, ἧς τεχνίτης καὶ δημιουργὸς ὁ θεός. |
For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. |
|
| 11 | Πίστει - καὶ αὐτὴ Σάρρα [στεῖρα] - δύναμιν εἰς καταβολὴν σπέρματος ἐλαβεν καὶ παρὰ καιρὸν ἡλικίας, ἐπεὶ πιστὸν ἡγήσατο τὸν ἐπαγγειλάμενον· |
By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. |

| 13 | Κατὰ πίστιν ἀπέθανον οὗτοι πάντες, μὴ λαβόντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀλλὰ πόρρωθεν αὐτὰς ἰδόντες καὶ ἀσπασάμενοι, καὶ ὁμολογήσαντες ὅτι ξένοι καὶ παρεπίδημοί εἰσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γη 'ς· |
These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. |
|
| 14 | οἱ γὰρ τοιαῦτα λέγοντες ἐμφανίζουσιν ὅτι πατρίδα ἐπιζητοῦσιν. |
For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. |
|
| 15 | καὶ εἰ μὲν ἐκείνης ἐμνημόνευον ἀφ' ἧς ἐξέβησαν, εἶχον ἂν καιρὸν ἀνακάμψαι· |
If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. |
|
| 16 | νῦν δὲ κρείττονος ὀρέγονται, τοῦτ' ἐστιν ἐπουρανίου. διὸ οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς θεὸς ἐπικαλεῖσθαι αὐτῶν, ἡτοίμασεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς πόλιν. |

| 19 | λογισάμενος ὅτι καὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγείρειν δυνατὸς ὁ θεός· ὁθεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν παραβολῇ ἐκομίσατο. |

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. |

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, |
|
| 25 | μᾶλλον ἑλόμενος συγκακουχεῖσθαι τῷ λαῷ τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ πρόσκαιρον ἐχειν ἀμαρτίας ἀπόλαυσιν, |
choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. |
|
| 26 | μείζονα πλοῦτον ἡγησάμενος τῶν Αἰγύπτου θησαυρῶν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἀπέβλεπεν γὰρ εἰς τὴν μισθαποδοσίαν. |
He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward. |
|

quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. |
|
| 35 | ἐλαβον γυναῖκες ἐξ ἀναστάσεως τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν· ἀλλοι δὲ ἐτυμπανίσθησαν, οὐ προσδεξάμενοι τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν, ἵνα κρείττονος ἀναστάσεως τύχωσιν· |
Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life. |
|
| 36 | ἑτεροι δὲ ἐμπαιγμῶν καὶ μαστίγων πεῖραν ἐλαβον, ἐτι δὲ δεσμῶν καὶ φυλακῆς· |
Others suffered mocking and scourging, and even chains and imprisonment. |
|
| 37 | ἐλιθάσθησαν, ἐπρίσθησαν, ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρης ἀπέθανον, περιῆλθον ἐν μηλωταῖς, ἐν αἰγείοις δέρμασιν, ὑστερούμενοι, θλιβόμενοι, κακουχούμενοι, |
