![Deeds and triumphs of Faith. HEBREWS, XII. The design of afflictions. of things not seen as yet, P moved with fonr, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteous- ness which is by faith. 8 By faith Abraham,0 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. 9 By laith lie sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwell- ing/ in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city m which hath foundations, whose builder'1 and maker is God. 11 Through faith also Sara0 herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful6 who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many v as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 13 These all died s in faith, not having re- ceived the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed0 that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And truly if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned: 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God;6 for he hath prepared for them a city.c 17 By faith Abraham, when lied was tried, offered up Isaac; and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son, 18 v Of whom it was said, That/ in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 20 By faith Isaac6 blessed Jacob and Esau concerning tilings to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed! both the sons of Joseph: and wor- shipped, leaning 6 upon the top of his staff. 22 By laith Joseph1 when he died, * made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave command- ment concerning his bones. 23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidm three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.0 24 By faith Moses,v when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Bharaohs daughter; ,25 Choosingr rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season ; 26 Esteeming tho reproach 6of Christ6 greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: tor ho had respect unto tho recompcnce ot the reward. . 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fear- ing0 the wrath of the king: for he en- no1Lk,a3 sccJn8 him“ who is invisible. Through laith he kept the passover* and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that de- stroyed the firstborn should touch them. A.
