CHAPTER 11
Hebrews 11:1
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.
Hebrews 11:2
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. Hebrews 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not made of  things which do appear. Hebrews
11:4
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which
he obtained witness that he was righteous,  God testifying of his gifts: and by
it he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:5
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not
found, because God  had translated him: for before his translation he had this
testimony, that he pleased God. Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
him.
Hebrews 11:7
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with
fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his  house; by the which he condemned
the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Hebrews 11:8
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should
after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and  he went out, not knowing whither
he went.
Hebrews 11:9
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same
promise:
Hebrews 11:10
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is
God.
Hebrews 11:11
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was
delivered of a child when she was past age,  because she judged him faithful
who had promised.
Hebrews 11:12
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the
stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore
innumerable.
Hebrews 11:13
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen
them afar off, and  were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed
that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Hebrews 11:14
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Hebrews 11:15
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came
out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. Hebrews 11:16
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is
not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 11:17
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had
received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Hebrews 11:18
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Hebrews 11:19
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from
whence also he received him in a figure. Hebrews 11:20
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Hebrews
11:21
21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and
worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. Hebrews 11:22
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children
of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. Hebrews 11:23
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's
commandment.
Hebrews 11:24
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter;
Hebrews 11:25
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy
the pleasures of sin for a season; Hebrews 11:26
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt:
for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. Hebrews 11:27
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he
endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:28
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he
that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. Hebrews 11:29
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians
assaying to do were drowned. Hebrews 11:30
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about
seven days.
Hebrews 11:31
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she
had received the spies with peace. Hebrews 11:32
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and
 of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of
the prophets:
Hebrews 11:33
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Hebrews 11:34
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of
weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight,  turned to flight the armies
of the aliens.
Hebrews 11:35
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured,
not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain  a better resurrection:
Hebrews 11:36
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of
bonds and imprisonment:
Hebrews 11:37
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the
sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute,
afflicted,  tormented;
Hebrews 11:38
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in
mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. Hebrews 11:39
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the
promise:
Hebrews 11:40
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should
not  be made perfect.
CHAPTER 12
Hebrews 12:1
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and  the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews
12:2
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that
was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at
the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:3
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your  minds. Hebrews 12:4
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Hebrews 12:5
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto
children, My son, despise not thou  the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him:
Hebrews 12:6
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth.
Hebrews 12:7
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is
he whom  the father chasteneth not? Hebrews 12:8
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and  not sons.
Hebrews 12:9
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave
them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of
spirits, and live?
Hebrews 12:10
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he
for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Hebrews 12:11
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth  the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:12
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; Hebrews
12:13
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out
of the way; but let it rather be healed. Hebrews 12:14
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the
Lord:
Hebrews 12:15
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up  trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Hebrews
12:16
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel
of meat sold his birthright. Hebrews 12:17
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing,
he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance,  though he sought it
carefully with tears.
Hebrews 12:18
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned
with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness,  and tempest, Hebrews 12:19
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that
heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: Hebrews
12:20
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a
beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
Hebrews 12:21
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake:)
Hebrews 12:22
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, Hebrews 12:23
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in
heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits  of just men made
perfect,
Hebrews 12:24
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of
sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:25
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who
refused him that spake on earth,  much more shall not we escape, if we turn
away from him that speaketh from heaven: Hebrews 12:26
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once
more I shake  not the earth only, but also heaven. Hebrews 12:27
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that
are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain.
Hebrews 12:28
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace,
whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and  godly fear: Hebrews
12:29
29 For our God is a consuming fire. CHAPTER 13
Hebrews 13:1
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Hebrews 13:2
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:3
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer
adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Hebrews 13:4
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and
adulterers God will judge.
Hebrews 13:5
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such
things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:6
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do unto me.
Hebrews 13:7
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word
of God: whose faith follow, considering the end  of their conversation. Hebrews
13:8
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:9
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good
thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not
profited them that have been occupied therein. Hebrews 13:10
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the
tabernacle.
Hebrews 13:11
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by
the high priest for sin,  are burned without the camp. Hebrews 13:12
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood,
suffered without the gate.
Hebrews 13:13
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Hebrews 13:14
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Hebrews 13:15
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually,
that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:16
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God
is well pleased.
Hebrews 13:17
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch
for your souls, as they that must give  account, that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:18
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing
to live honestly.
Hebrews 13:19
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the
sooner.
Hebrews 13:20
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great shepherd of the sheep, through  the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Hebrews 13:21
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in  you that
which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 13:22
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have
written a letter unto you in few words. Hebrews 13:23
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come
shortly, I will see you.
Hebrews 13:24
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of
Italy salute you.
Hebrews 13:25
25 Grace be with you all. Amen. (Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by
Timothy.)
