10:35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

10:36For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

10:37For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

10:38Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

10:39But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

11:2For by it the elders obtained a good report.

11:3Through 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.

11:4By 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.

11:5By 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.

11:6But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

11:7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

27And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

28And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men? answer me.

31And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all [men] counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

33And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
