Oleksandr Zhabenko 🇬🇧
Christ is Born!

Dedicated to Emma Kok.

(Hebrews X, 35 — XI, 7)
For the first part of the reading, see the link:

Hebrews X, 39 — 'ἡμεῖς' - 'emeis' - 'we'.

Hebrews XI, 2 — 'ἐμαρτυρήθησαν' - 'emartyrethesan' - 'witnessed' - from 'μαρτυρέω'.

Hebrews XI, 4 — 'ἐμαρτυρήθη' - 'emartyrethe' - 'witnessed'.

I will focus here on verses X, 39 — XI, 7.

The apostle Paul here and further on in the text gives examples of the Old Testament and New Testament faith, both in terms of meaning and in the lives of various saints.

These are beautiful and eloquent words, which, I think, do not require much explanation. Nevertheless, on the important topic of faith, two works are worthy of attention, with others quoted there by links:
