10:36. For patience is necessary for you: that, doing the will of God,
you may receive the promise.
10:37. For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come
will come and will not delay.
10:38. But my just man liveth by faith: but if he withdraw himself, he
shall not please my soul.
10:39. But we are not the children of withdrawing unto perdition, but of
faith to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews Chapter 11
What faith is. Its wonderful fruits and efficacy demonstrated in the
fathers.
11:1. Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the
evidence of things that appear not.
11:2. For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.
11:3. By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of
