58:011:028 Through faith he kept the passover, and
the sprinkling of
blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
58:011:029 By faith they passed through the Red sea
as by dry land: which
the
Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
58:011:030 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down,
after they were
compassed
about seven days.
58:011:031 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not
with them that believed
not,
when she had received the spies with peace.
58:011:032 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:
58:011:033 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness,
obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
58:011:034 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.
58:011:035 Women received their dead raised to life
again: and others
were
tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
obtain
a better resurrection:
58:011:036 And others had trial of cruel mockings
and scourgings, yea,
moreover
of bonds and imprisonment:
58:011:037 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;
58:011:038 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they
wandered in deserts,
and
in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
58:011:039 And these all, having obtained a good report
through faith,
received
not the promise:
58:011:040 God having provided some better thing for
us, that they
without
us should not be made perfect.
58:012:001 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,
58:012:002 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.
58:012:003 For consider him that endured such contradiction
of sinners
against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
58:012:004 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
58:012:005 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:
