King James Version with Apocrypha
"For by it the elders obtained a good report."
— Hebrews 11:2, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For by it the elders obtained a good report.”
“For therein the elders had witness borne to them. ”
“For by this, the elders obtained testimony.”
“For by it the people of old received God’s commendation.”
“For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.”
“For by it our fathers had God's approval.”
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
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.
By faith Abel offered unto 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 speaketh.
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.
