妓女喇合因着信,曾和和平平的接待探子,就不与那些不顺从的人一同灭亡。
我又何必再说呢。若一一细说,基甸,巴拉,叁孙,耶弗他,大卫,撒母耳,和众先知的事,时候就不够了。
他们因着信,制伏了敌国,行了公义,得了应许,堵了狮子的口。
灭了烈火的猛势,脱了刀剑的锋刃,软弱变为刚强,争战显出勇敢,打退外邦的全军。
有妇人得自己的死人复活,又有人忍受严刑,不肯苟且得释放,(释放原文作赎)为要得着更美的复活。

By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.
And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets,
who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
