Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.
1εστιν δε πιστισ ελπιζομενων υποστασισ πραγματων ελεγχοσ ου βλεπομενων
2For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.
2εν ταυτη γαρ εμαρτυρηθησαν οι πρεσβυτεροι
3By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God; that from invisible things visible things might be made.
3πιστει νοουμεν κατηρτισθαι τουσ αιωνασ ρηματι θεου εισ το μη εκ φαινομενων τα βλεπομενα γεγονεναι
4By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
4πιστει πλειονα θυσιαν αβελ παρα καιν προσηνεγκεν τω θεω δι ησ εμαρτυρηθη ειναι δικαιοσ μαρτυρουντοσ επι τοισ δωροισ αυτου του θεου και δι αυτησ αποθανων ετι λαλειται
5By faith Henoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.
5πιστει ενωχ μετετεθη του μη ιδειν θανατον και ουχ ευρισκετο διοτι μετεθηκεν αυτον ο θεοσ προ γαρ τησ μεταθεσεωσ αυτου μεμαρτυρηται ευηρεστηκεναι τω θεω
6But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him.
6χωρισ δε πιστεωσ αδυνατον ευαρεστησαι πιστευσαι γαρ δει τον προσερχομενον τω θεω οτι εστιν και τοισ εκζητουσιν αυτον μισθαποδοτησ γινεται
7By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.
7πιστει χρηματισθεισ νωε περι των μηδεπω βλεπομενων ευλαβηθεισ κατεσκευασεν κιβωτον εισ σωτηριαν του οικου αυτου δι ησ κατεκρινεν τον κοσμον και τησ κατα πιστιν δικαιοσυνησ εγενετο κληρονομοσ
8By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
8πιστει καλουμενοσ αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εξελθειν εισ τον τοπον ον ημελλεν λαμβανειν εισ κληρονομιαν και εξηλθεν μη επισταμενοσ που ερχεται
9By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.
9πιστει παρωκησεν εισ γην τησ επαγγελιασ ωσ αλλοτριαν εν σκηναισ κατοικησασ μετα ισαακ και ιακωβ των συγκληρονομων τησ επαγγελιασ τησ αυτησ
10For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God.
10εξεδεχετο γαρ την τουσ θεμελιουσ εχουσαν πολιν ησ τεχνιτησ και δημιουργοσ ο θεοσ
11By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,
11πιστει και αυτη σαρρα δυναμιν εισ καταβολην σπερματοσ ελαβεν και παρα καιρον ηλικιασ ετεκεν επει πιστον ηγησατο τον επαγγειλαμενον
12For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
12διο και αφ ενοσ εγεννηθησαν και ταυτα νενεκρωμενου καθωσ τα αστρα του ουρανου τω πληθει και ωσ η αμμοσ η παρα το χειλοσ τησ θαλασσησ η αναριθμητοσ
13All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.
13κατα πιστιν απεθανον ουτοι παντεσ μη λαβοντεσ τασ επαγγελιασ αλλα πορρωθεν αυτασ ιδοντεσ και ασπασαμενοι και ομολογησαντεσ οτι ξενοι και παρεπιδημοι εισιν επι τησ γησ
14For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country.
14οι γαρ τοιαυτα λεγοντεσ εμφανιζουσιν οτι πατριδα επιζητουσιν
15And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.
15και ει μεν εκεινησ εμνημονευον αφ ησ εξηλθον ειχον αν καιρον ανακαμψαι
16But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
16νυν δε κρειττονοσ ορεγονται τουτ εστιν επουρανιου διο ουκ επαισχυνεται αυτουσ ο θεοσ θεοσ επικαλεισθαι αυτων ητοιμασεν γαρ αυτοισ πολιν
17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son;
17πιστει προσενηνοχεν αβρααμ τον ισαακ πειραζομενοσ και τον μονογενη προσεφερεν ο τασ επαγγελιασ αναδεξαμενοσ
18(To whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called.)
18προσ ον ελαληθη οτι εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
19Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.
19λογισαμενοσ οτι και εκ νεκρων εγειρειν δυνατοσ ο θεοσ οθεν αυτον και εν παραβολη εκομισατο
20By faith also of things to come, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
20πιστει περι μελλοντων ευλογησεν ισαακ τον ιακωβ και τον ησαυ
21By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and adored the top of his rod.
21πιστει ιακωβ αποθνησκων εκαστον των υιων ιωσηφ ευλογησεν και προσεκυνησεν επι το ακρον τησ ραβδου αυτου
22By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
22πιστει ιωσηφ τελευτων περι τησ εξοδου των υιων ισραηλ εμνημονευσεν και περι των οστεων αυτου ενετειλατο
23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents; because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king’s edict.
23πιστει μωυσησ γεννηθεισ εκρυβη τριμηνον υπο των πατερων αυτου διοτι ειδον αστειον το παιδιον και ουκ εφοβηθησαν το διαταγμα του βασιλεωσ
24By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao’s daughter;
24πιστει μωυσησ μεγασ γενομενοσ ηρνησατο λεγεσθαι υιοσ θυγατροσ φαραω
25Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,
25μαλλον ελομενοσ συγκακουχεισθαι τω λαω του θεου η προσκαιρον εχειν αμαρτιασ απολαυσιν
26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.
26μειζονα πλουτον ηγησαμενοσ των αιγυπτου θησαυρων τον ονειδισμον του χριστου απεβλεπεν γαρ εισ την μισθαποδοσιαν
27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.
27πιστει κατελιπεν αιγυπτον μη φοβηθεισ τον θυμον του βασιλεωσ τον γαρ αορατον ωσ ορων εκαρτερησεν
28By faith he celebrated the pasch, and the shedding of the blood; that he, who destroyed the firstborn, might not touch them.
28πιστει πεποιηκεν το πασχα και την προσχυσιν του αιματοσ ινα μη ο ολοθρευων τα πρωτοτοκα θιγη αυτων
29By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.
29πιστει διεβησαν την ερυθραν θαλασσαν ωσ δια ξηρασ ησ πειραν λαβοντεσ οι αιγυπτιοι κατεποθησαν
30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days.
30πιστει τα τειχη ιεριχω επεσεν κυκλωθεντα επι επτα ημερασ
31By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.
31πιστει ρααβ η πορνη ου συναπωλετο τοισ απειθησασιν δεξαμενη τουσ κατασκοπουσ μετ ειρηνησ
32And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:
32και τι ετι λεγω επιλειψει γαρ με διηγουμενον ο χρονοσ περι γεδεων βαρακ τε και σαμψων και ιεφθαε δαυιδ τε και σαμουηλ και των προφητων
33Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
33οι δια πιστεωσ κατηγωνισαντο βασιλειασ ειργασαντο δικαιοσυνην επετυχον επαγγελιων εφραξαν στοματα λεοντων
34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners:
34εσβεσαν δυναμιν πυροσ εφυγον στοματα μαχαιρασ ενεδυναμωθησαν απο ασθενειασ εγενηθησαν ισχυροι εν πολεμω παρεμβολασ εκλιναν αλλοτριων
35Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.
35ελαβον γυναικεσ εξ αναστασεωσ τουσ νεκρουσ αυτων αλλοι δε ετυμπανισθησαν ου προσδεξαμενοι την απολυτρωσιν ινα κρειττονοσ αναστασεωσ τυχωσιν
36And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons.
36ετεροι δε εμπαιγμων και μαστιγων πειραν ελαβον ετι δε δεσμων και φυλακησ
37They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:
37ελιθασθησαν επρισθησαν επειρασθησαν εν φονω μαχαιρασ απεθανον περιηλθον εν μηλωταισ εν αιγειοισ δερμασιν υστερουμενοι θλιβομενοι κακουχουμενοι
38Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caved of the earth.
38ων ουκ ην αξιοσ ο κοσμοσ εν ερημιαισ πλανωμενοι και ορεσιν και σπηλαιοισ και ταισ οπαισ τησ γησ
39And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise;
39και ουτοι παντεσ μαρτυρηθεντεσ δια τησ πιστεωσ ουκ εκομισαντο την επαγγελιαν
40God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.
40του θεου περι ημων κρειττον τι προβλεψαμενου ινα μη χωρισ ημων τελειωθωσιν
