| Hebrews 11:1 | Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see. | Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. | Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not. |
| Hebrews 11:2 | For by it the saints of old won God's approval. | For by this, the elders obtained testimony. | For by this the ancients obtained a testimony. |
| Hebrews 11:3 | Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen does not owe its existence to that which is visible. | By 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. | By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God; that from invisible things visible things might be made. |
| Hebrews 11:4 | Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks. | By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks. | By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh. |
| Hebrews 11:5 | Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God. | By faith, Enoch was translated, so that he should not 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. | By faith Henoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God. |
| Hebrews 11:6 | But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him. | Without 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. | But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him. |
| Hebrews 11:7 | Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on faith. | By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. | By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith. |

He went out, not knowing where he went. | By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. |
| Hebrews 11:9 | Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise; | By 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. | By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. |
| Hebrews 11:10 | for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. | For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God. | For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God. |
| Hebrews 11:11 | Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother although she was past the time of life for this because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise. | By 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. | By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised, |
| Hebrews 11:12 | And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted. | Therefore they were fathered by one, and him as good as dead, as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore. | For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. |
| Hebrews 11:13 | All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth; | These 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. | All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth. |
| Hebrews 11:14 | for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own. | For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking after a country of their own. | For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country. 15 And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return. |
| Hebrews 11:15 | And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return; | If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return. | But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city. |
| Hebrews 11:16 | but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them. | But 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. | By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son; |

| Hebrews 11:18 | with regard to whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac that your posterity shall be traced." | even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your seed be called;" | Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable. |
| Hebrews 11:19 | For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again. | accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead.

| Hebrews 11:25 | having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin; | choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time; | Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians.
