信的具体表现：
11:1 信就是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据。
11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
11:2 古人在这信上得了美好的证据。
11:2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
11:3 我们因着信，就知道诸世界是藉 神话造成的；这样，所看见的，并不是从显然之物造出来的。
11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
11:4 亚伯因着信，献祭与 神，比该隐所献的更美，因此便得了称义的见证，就是 神指他礼物作的见证。他虽然死了，却因这信，仍旧说话。
11:4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
11:5 以诺因着信，被接去，不至于见死，人也找不着他，因为 神已经把他接去了；只是他被接去以先，已经得了 神喜悦他的明证。
11:5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
11:6 人非有信，就不能得 神的喜悦；因为到 神面前来的人必须信有 神，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。
11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
11:7 挪亚因着信，既蒙 神指示他未见的事，动了敬畏的心，预备了一只方舟，使他全家得救。因此就定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了那从信而来的义。
11:7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
11:8 亚伯拉罕因着信，蒙召的时候，就遵命出去，往将来要得为业的地方去；出去的时候，还不知往哪里去。
11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
11:9 他因着信，就在所应许之地作客，好象在异地居住帐棚，与那同蒙一个应许的以撒、雅各一样。
11:9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
11:10 因为他等候那座有根基的城，就是 神所经营所建造的。
11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11:11 因着信，连撒拉自己，虽然过了生育的岁数，还能怀孕，因她以为那应许她的是可信的；
11:11 By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise.
11:12 所以从一个仿佛已死的人就生出子孙，如同天上的星那样众多，海边的沙那样无数。
11:12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
11:13 这些人都是存着信心死的，并没有得着所应许的；却从远处望见，且欢喜迎接，又承认自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。
11:13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.
11:14 说这样话的人是表明自己要找一个家乡。
11:14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.
11:15 他们若想念所离开的家乡，还有可以回去的机会。
11:15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
11:16 他们却羡慕一个更美的家乡，就是在天上的。所以 神被称为他们的 神，并不以为耻；因为他已经给他们预备了一座城。
11:16 Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
