011:027 Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.
011:028 Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling
with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not
touch the Israelites.
011:029 Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they
were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they
tried to do the same, were swallowed up.
011:030 Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded for seven days.
011:031 Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish
along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies
and had sheltered them.
011:032 And why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell
the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David
and Samuel and the Prophets;
011:033 men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms,
brought about true justice, obtained promises from God,
stopped lions' mouths,
011:034 deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword,
out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war,
put to flight foreign armies.
011:035 Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead;
and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance
offered to them—that they might secure a better resurrection.
011:036 Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment.
