Hebrews 11:8 in Context — Hebrews 11
6 Or sans la foi il est impossible de lui être agréable; car il faut que celui qui s’approche de Dieu croie que Dieu existe, et qu’il est le rémunérateur de ceux qui le cherchent.
7 C’est par la foi que Noé, divinement averti des choses qu’on ne voyait pas encore, et saisi d’une crainte respectueuse, construisit une arche pour sauver sa famille; c’est par elle qu’il condamna le monde, et devint héritier de la justice qui s’obtient par la foi.
8 C’est par la foi qu’Abraham, lors de sa vocation, obéit et partit pour un lieu qu’il devait recevoir en héritage, et qu’il partit sans savoir où il allait.
9 C’est par la foi qu’il vint s’établir dans la terre promise comme dans une terre étrangère, habitant sous des tentes, ainsi qu’Isaac et Jacob, les cohéritiers de la même promesse.
10 Car il attendait la cité qui a de solides fondements, celle dont Dieu est l’architecte et le constructeur.
