58:010:031 It is a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living
God.
58:010:032 But call to remembrance the former days,
in which, after ye
were
illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
58:010:033 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock
both by reproaches
and
afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions
of
them
that were so used.
58:010:034 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds,
and took joyfully the
spoiling
of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in
heaven
a better and an enduring substance.
58:010:035 Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great
recompence
of reward.
58:010:036 For ye have need of patience, that, after
ye have done the
will
of God, ye might receive the promise.
58:010:037 For yet a little while, and he that shall
come will come, and
will
not tarry.
58:010:038 Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back, my
soul
shall have no pleasure in him.
58:010:039 But we are not of them who draw back unto
perdition; but of
them
that believe to the saving of the soul.
58:011:001 Now faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence
of
things not seen.
58:011:002 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
58:011:003 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.
58:011:004 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.
58:011:005 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.
58:011:006 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.
58:011:007 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.
58:011:008 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.
58:011:009 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:
