- By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.
- And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,
- who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,
- quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
- Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;

- 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.
