Hebrews

Chapter 11

Phonetic (Greek): Ἔstin de pistis elpizomenon hypostasis, pragmaton elenchos oy blepomenon·

Edified Edition (EDE)Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων·

Phonetic (Greek): en taytῃ gar emartyrethesan ohi presbyteroi.

Edified Edition (EDE)For by it the elders obtained a good report.

ἐν ταύτῃ γὰρ ἐμαρτυρήθησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei nooymen katertisthai toys aionas ῥemati theoy, eis to me ek phainomenon ⸂to blepomenon⸃ gegonenai.

Edified Edition (EDE)Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

πίστει νοοῦμεν κατηρτίσθαι τοὺς αἰῶνας ῥήματι θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐκ φαινομένων ⸂τὸ βλεπόμενον⸃ γεγονέναι.

Phonetic (Greek): Pistei pleiona thysian Ἅbel para Kain prosenenken tῷ theῷ, diʼ hes emartyrethe einai dikaios, martyroyntos epi tois dorois aytoy ⸂toy theoy⸃, kai diʼ aytes apothanon eti ⸀lalei.

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.

Πίστει πλείονα θυσίαν Ἅβελ παρὰ Κάϊν προσήνεγκεν τῷ θεῷ, διʼ ἧς ἐμαρτυρήθη εἶναι δίκαιος, μαρτυροῦντος ἐπὶ τοῖς δώροις αὐτοῦ ⸂τοῦ θεοῦ⸃, καὶ διʼ αὐτῆς ἀποθανὼν ἔτι ⸀λαλεῖ.

Phonetic (Greek): Pistei Ἑnoch metetethe toy me idein thanaton, kai oych ehyrisketo dioti metetheken ayton ho theos· pro gar tes ⸀metatheseos memartyretai eyarestekenai tῷ theῷ,

Edified Edition (EDE)By 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.

Πίστει Ἑνὼχ μετετέθη τοῦ μὴ ἰδεῖν θάνατον, καὶ οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο διότι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός· πρὸ γὰρ τῆς ⸀μεταθέσεως μεμαρτύρηται εὐαρεστηκέναι τῷ θεῷ,

Phonetic (Greek): choris de pisteos adynaton eyarestesai, pisteysai gar dei ton proserchomenon tῷ theῷ hoti estin kai tois ekzetoysin ayton misthapodotes ginetai.

Edified Edition (EDE)But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

χωρὶς δὲ πίστεως ἀδύνατον εὐαρεστῆσαι, πιστεῦσαι γὰρ δεῖ τὸν προσερχόμενον τῷ θεῷ ὅτι ἔστιν καὶ τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτὸν μισθαποδότης γίνεται.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei chrematistheis Noe peri ton medepo blepomenon eylabetheis kateskeyasen kiboton eis soterian toy oikou aytoy, diʼ hes katekrinen ton kosmon, kai tes kata pistin dikaiosynes egeneto kleronomos.

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

πίστει χρηματισθεὶς Νῶε περὶ τῶν μηδέπω βλεπομένων εὐλαβηθεὶς κατεσκεύασεν κιβωτὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, διʼ ἧς κατέκρινεν τὸν κόσμον, καὶ τῆς κατὰ πίστιν δικαιοσύνης ἐγένετο κληρονόμος.

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀Pistei kaloymenos Ἀbraam hypekousen exelthein eis ⸀topon hon emellen lambanein eis kleronomian, kai exelthen me epistamenos poy erchetai.

Edified Edition (EDE)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 where he went.

⸀Πίστει καλούμενος Ἀβραὰμ ὑπήκουσεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς ⸀τόπον ὃν ἤμελλεν λαμβάνειν εἰς κληρονομίαν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν μὴ ἐπιστάμενος ποῦ ἔρχεται.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei parῴkesen eis gen tes epangelias hos allotrian, en skenais katoikesas meta Ἰsaak kai Ἰakob ton synkleronomon tes epangelias tes aytes·

Edified Edition (EDE)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:

πίστει παρῴκησεν εἰς γῆν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας ὡς ἀλλοτρίαν, ἐν σκηναῖς κατοικήσας μετὰ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ τῶν συγκληρονόμων τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῆς αὐτῆς·

Phonetic (Greek): exedecheto gar ten toys themelious echousan polin, hes technites kai demiourgos ho theos.

Edified Edition (EDE)For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

ἐξεδέχετο γὰρ τὴν τοὺς θεμελίους ἔχουσαν πόλιν, ἧς τεχνίτης καὶ δημιουργὸς ὁ θεός.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei kai ⸂aytῇ Sarrᾳ⸃ dynamin eis katabolen spermatos elaben kai para kairon ⸀helikias, epei piston hegesato ton epangeilamenon·

Edified Edition (EDE)Through faith also Sarah 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.

πίστει καὶ ⸂αὐτῇ Σάρρᾳ⸃ δύναμιν εἰς καταβολὴν σπέρματος ἔλαβεν καὶ παρὰ καιρὸν ⸀ἡλικίας, ἐπεὶ πιστὸν ἡγήσατο τὸν ἐπαγγειλάμενον·

Phonetic (Greek): dio kai aphʼ henos egennethesan, kai tayta nenekromenou, kathos ta astra toy oyranoy tῷ plethei kai hos he ammos he para to cheilos tes thalasses he anarithmetos.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore 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.

διὸ καὶ ἀφʼ ἑνὸς ἐγεννήθησαν, καὶ ταῦτα νενεκρωμένου, καθὼς τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει καὶ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τῆς θαλάσσης ἡ ἀναρίθμητος.

Phonetic (Greek): Kata pistin apethanon ohytoi pantes, me ⸀labontes tas epangelias, alla porrothen aytas idontes kai aspasamenoi, kai homologesantes hoti xenoi kai parepidemoi eisin epi tes ges.

Edified Edition (EDE)These 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.

Κατὰ πίστιν ἀπέθανον οὗτοι πάντες, μὴ ⸀λαβόντες τὰς ἐπαγγελίας, ἀλλὰ πόρρωθεν αὐτὰς ἰδόντες καὶ ἀσπασάμενοι, καὶ ὁμολογήσαντες ὅτι ξένοι καὶ παρεπίδημοί εἰσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

Phonetic (Greek): ohi gar toiayta legontes emphanizousin hoti patrida epizetoysin.

Edified Edition (EDE)For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

οἱ γὰρ τοιαῦτα λέγοντες ἐμφανίζουσιν ὅτι πατρίδα ἐπιζητοῦσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): kai ei men ekeines ⸀mnemoneyousin aphʼ hes ⸀exebesan, eichon an kairon anakampsai·

Edified Edition (EDE)And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from where they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

καὶ εἰ μὲν ἐκείνης ⸀μνημονεύουσιν ἀφʼ ἧς ⸀ἐξέβησαν, εἶχον ἂν καιρὸν ἀνακάμψαι·

Phonetic (Greek): nyn de kreittonos oregontai, toytʼ estin epouraniou. dio oyk epaischynetai aytoys ho theos theos epikaleisthai ayton, hetoimasen gar aytois polin.

Edified Edition (EDE)But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for He has prepared for them a city.

νῦν δὲ κρείττονος ὀρέγονται, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν ἐπουρανίου. διὸ οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς θεὸς ἐπικαλεῖσθαι αὐτῶν, ἡτοίμασεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς πόλιν.

Phonetic (Greek): Pistei prosenenochen Ἀbraam ton Ἰsaak peirazomenos, kai ton monogene prosepheren ho tas epangelias anadexamenos,

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

Πίστει προσενήνοχεν Ἀβραὰμ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ πειραζόμενος, καὶ τὸν μονογενῆ προσέφερεν ὁ τὰς ἐπαγγελίας ἀναδεξάμενος,

Phonetic (Greek): pros hon elalethe hoti Ἐn Ἰsaak klethesetai soi sperma,

Edified Edition (EDE)Of whom it was said, "That in Isaac shall your seed be called:"

πρὸς ὃν ἐλαλήθη ὅτι Ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα,

Phonetic (Greek): logisamenos hoti kai ek nekron egeirein dynatos ho theos· hothen ayton kai en parabolῇ ekomisato.

Edified Edition (EDE)Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from where also he received him in a figure.

λογισάμενος ὅτι καὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγείρειν δυνατὸς ὁ θεός· ὅθεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν παραβολῇ ἐκομίσατο.

Phonetic (Greek): Pistei ⸀kai peri mellonton eylogesen Ἰsaak ton Ἰakob kai ton Ἠsay.

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

Πίστει ⸀καὶ περὶ μελλόντων εὐλόγησεν Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἰακὼβ καὶ τὸν Ἠσαῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei Ἰakob apothnῄskon hekaston ton yhion Ἰoseph eylogesen, kai prosekynesen epi to akron tes ῥabdou aytoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

Phonetic (Greek): Pistei Moyses gennetheis ekrybe trimenon hypo ton pateron aytoy, dioti eidon asteion to paidion kai oyk ephobethesan to diatagma toy basileos.

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

Πίστει Μωϋσῆς γεννηθεὶς ἐκρύβη τρίμηνον ὑπὸ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, διότι εἶδον ἀστεῖον τὸ παιδίον καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸ διάταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei Moyses megas genomenos ernesato legesthai yhios thygatros Pharao,

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

Phonetic (Greek): mallon helomenos synkakoucheisthai tῷ laῷ toy theoy e proskairon echein hamartias apolausin,

Edified Edition (EDE)Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

μᾶλλον ἑλόμενος συγκακουχεῖσθαι τῷ λαῷ τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ πρόσκαιρον ἔχειν ἁμαρτίας ἀπόλαυσιν,

Phonetic (Greek): meizona ployton hegesamenos ton Aigyptou thesauron ton oneidismon toy Christoy, apeblepen gar eis ten misthapodosian.

Edified Edition (EDE)Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect to the recompence of the reward.

μείζονα πλοῦτον ἡγησάμενος τῶν Αἰγύπτου θησαυρῶν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἀπέβλεπεν γὰρ εἰς τὴν μισθαποδοσίαν.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei katelipen Aigypton, me phobetheis ton thymon toy basileos, ton gar aoraton hos horon ekarteresen.

Edified Edition (EDE)By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.

Phonetic (Greek): pistei pepoieken to pascha kai ten proschysin toy ahimatos, hina me ho olothreyon ta prototoka thigῃ ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest He who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

Edified Edition (EDE)And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

Καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω; ἐπιλείψει ⸂με γὰρ⸃ διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ Γεδεών, Βαράκ, ⸀Σαμψών, Ἰεφθάε, Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν,
