    Hebrews 11
    • 1   Now faith is assurance ofthingshoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
    • 2   For therein the elders had witness borne to them.
    • 3   By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.
    • 4   By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.
    • 5   By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God:
    • 6   and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.
    • 7   By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
    • 8   By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
    • 9   By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
    • 10   for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
    • 11   By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised:
    • 12   wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.
    • 13   These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
    • 14   For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.
    • 15   And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
    • 16   But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
    • 17   By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;
    • 18   even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:
    • 19   accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back.
    • 20   By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
    • 21   By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
    • 22   By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
    • 23   By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
    • 24   By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
    • 25   choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
    • 26   accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.
    • 27   By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
    • 28   By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
    • 29   By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.
    • 30   By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.
    • 31   By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.
    • 32   And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:
    • 33   who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
    • 34   quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.
    • 35   Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
    • 36   and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
    • 37   they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
    • 38   (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
    • 39   And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,
    • 40   God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

  • American Standard Version (asv - 2)

    2021-02-18

    English (en)

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
