Hebrews 11:7–10

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
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.
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.
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:
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

    10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

    11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

    12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

    13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

    14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

    15And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

    16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

    17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

    18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

    19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

    20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

    21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

    22And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

    23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

    24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

    25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

    26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

11:5By 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.

11:6But 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.

11:7By 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.

Selected passage

11:11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

11:12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

11:13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

11:14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

11:15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

11:16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

11:17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

11:18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

11:19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

11:20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

11:24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

11:25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

11:26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

11:27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

11:28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
