THE BIBLE SAYS…
Compiled by Daniel L.

·
Hebrews 11:4 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 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 11:7 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 11:8-19 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. 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: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker is God. 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. 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. By faith
Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the
promises offered up his only begotten son,
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 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 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and
Esau concerning things to come.
·
Hebrews 11:21 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 By faith Joseph, when he died,
made mention of the departing of the children of
·
Hebrews 11:23-29 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. By faith Moses, when he was come to years,
refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer
affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in
Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the
reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he
endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that
destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red
sea as by dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
·
Hebrews 11:30-31 By faith the walls of Jericho
fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith the harlot
Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies
with peace.
· Hebrews 11:32-38 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: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 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. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 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; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
