Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
1εστιν δε πιστισ ελπιζομενων υποστασισ πραγματων ελεγχοσ ου βλεπομενων
2For by this, the elders obtained approval.
2εν ταυτη γαρ εμαρτυρηθησαν οι πρεσβυτεροι
3By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.
3πιστει νοουμεν κατηρτισθαι τουσ αιωνασ ρηματι θεου εισ το μη εκ φαινομενων τα βλεπομενα γεγονεναι
4By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
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 Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to 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
6Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
6χωρισ δε πιστεωσ αδυνατον ευαρεστησαι πιστευσαι γαρ δει τον προσερχομενον τω θεω οτι εστιν και τοισ εκζητουσιν αυτον μισθαποδοτησ γινεται
7By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to 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 Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
8πιστει καλουμενοσ αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εξελθειν εισ τον τοπον ον ημελλεν λαμβανειν εισ κληρονομιαν και εξηλθεν μη επισταμενοσ που ερχεται
9By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him 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 was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
10εξεδεχετο γαρ την τουσ θεμελιουσ εχουσαν πολιν ησ τεχνιτησ και δημιουργοσ ο θεοσ
11By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
11πιστει και αυτη σαρρα δυναμιν εισ καταβολην σπερματοσ ελαβεν και παρα καιρον ηλικιασ ετεκεν επει πιστον ηγησατο τον επαγγειλαμενον
12Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
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
13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims 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 those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
14οι γαρ τοιαυτα λεγοντεσ εμφανιζουσιν οτι πατριδα επιζητουσιν
15If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
15και ει μεν εκεινησ εμνημονευον αφ ησ εξηλθον ειχον αν καιρον ανακαμψαι
16But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
16νυν δε κρειττονοσ ορεγονται τουτ εστιν επουρανιου διο ουκ επαισχυνεται αυτουσ ο θεοσ θεοσ επικαλεισθαι αυτων ητοιμασεν γαρ αυτοισ πολιν
17By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
17πιστει προσενηνοχεν αβρααμ τον ισαακ πειραζομενοσ και τον μονογενη προσεφερεν ο τασ επαγγελιασ αναδεξαμενοσ
18to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
18προσ ον ελαληθη οτι εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
19concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
19λογισαμενοσ οτι και εκ νεκρων εγειρειν δυνατοσ ο θεοσ οθεν αυτον και εν παραβολη εκομισατο
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
20πιστει περι μελλοντων ευλογησεν ισαακ τον ιακωβ και τον ησαυ
21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
21πιστει ιακωβ αποθνησκων εκαστον των υιων ιωσηφ ευλογησεν και προσεκυνησεν επι το ακρον τησ ραβδου αυτου
22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions 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 hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
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 had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
24πιστει μωυσησ μεγασ γενομενοσ ηρνησατο λεγεσθαι υιοσ θυγατροσ φαραω
25choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
25μαλλον ελομενοσ συγκακουχεισθαι τω λαω του θεου η προσκαιρον εχειν αμαρτιασ απολαυσιν
26considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to 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 wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
27πιστει κατελιπεν αιγυπτον μη φοβηθεισ τον θυμον του βασιλεωσ τον γαρ αορατον ωσ ορων εκαρτερησεν
28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should 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 on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they 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 after they had been encircled for seven days.
30πιστει τα τειχη ιεριχω επεσεν κυκλωθεντα επι επτα ημερασ
31By faith Rahab the prostitute didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
31πιστει ρααβ η πορνη ου συναπωλετο τοισ απειθησασιν δεξαμενη τουσ κατασκοπουσ μετ ειρηνησ
32What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, 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 through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
33οι δια πιστεωσ κατηγωνισαντο βασιλειασ ειργασαντο δικαιοσυνην επετυχον επαγγελιων εφραξαν στοματα λεοντων
34quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
34εσβεσαν δυναμιν πυροσ εφυγον στοματα μαχαιρασ ενεδυναμωθησαν απο ασθενειασ εγενηθησαν ισχυροι εν πολεμω παρεμβολασ εκλιναν αλλοτριων
35Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
35ελαβον γυναικεσ εξ αναστασεωσ τουσ νεκρουσ αυτων αλλοι δε ετυμπανισθησαν ου προσδεξαμενοι την απολυτρωσιν ινα κρειττονοσ αναστασεωσ τυχωσιν
36Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
36ετεροι δε εμπαιγμων και μαστιγων πειραν ελαβον ετι δε δεσμων και φυλακησ
37They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
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, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
38ων ουκ ην αξιοσ ο κοσμοσ εν ερημιαισ πλανωμενοι και ορεσιν και σπηλαιοισ και ταισ οπαισ τησ γησ
39These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
39και ουτοι παντεσ μαρτυρηθεντεσ δια τησ πιστεωσ ουκ εκομισαντο την επαγγελιαν
40God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
40του θεου περι ημων κρειττον τι προβλεψαμενου ινα μη χωρισ ημων τελειωθωσιν
