TSK · Hebrews 11:1

Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention.

For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away– look, what is new has come!

What I am saying with this boastful confidence I do not say the way the Lord would. Instead it is, as it were, foolishness.

¶ Salutation From Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,

For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.

so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.

These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth.

Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
