Hebrews 11
Hebrews 11 is the eleventh chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The author is anonymous, although the internal reference to "our brother Timothy" (Hebrews 13:23) causes a traditional attribution to Paul, but this attribution has been disputed since the second century and there is no decisive evidence for the authorship. This chapter contains the exposition about the examples of faith's effective expression.
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 40 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
The chapter opens with three allusive verses to describe the complexity of faith.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Formal definition of faith is in the style of Plato's definition of medicine (Symp. 186c) or Plutarch's definition of curiosity (On Curiosity, 6.518c).
For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
The accounts of exemplary people were often used to motivate people, either to imitate noble attitudes or to avoid the pattern of ignoble behaviors, such as Ben Sira (teacher of wisdom form Jerusalem in 2nd century BC) uses a long hymn to praise notable Jewish ancestors (Sirach 44–51), or the author of 4 Macabee in 4 Macabee 16:16-23, and Seneca with similar list as in Hebrews 11 (Ben. 3.36.2–3.38.2; 5.16.1–5.17–3).
