For he had a respect unto the reward.
By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the
king. For he endured, even as he had seen him which is invisible.
Thorow faith he ordained the ester lamb, and the effusion of blood,
lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them.
By faith they passed thorow the reed sea as by dry land, which
when the egyptians had assayed to do, they were drowned.
By faith the walls of Iericho fell down after they were compassed
about, seven days.
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed
not, after she had received the spies to lodging peaceably.
And what shall I more say, the time would be too short for me to
tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Iephthae. Also of
David and Samuel, and of the prophets, which thorow faith subdued
kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the
mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of
the sword, of weak were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned
to flight the armies of the aliens. The women received their dead
raised to life again.
Other were racked, and would not be delivered, that they might
receive a better resurrection.
