    Hebrews 11
    •   Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
    •   For by this, the elders obtained testimony.
    •   By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.
    •   By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
    •   By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
    •   Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
    •   By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
    •   By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
    •   By faith, he lived as an alien 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 has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
    • 11   By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
    • 12   Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
    • 13   These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
    • 14   For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
    • 15   If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
    • 16   But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
    • 17   By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
    • 18   even he to whom it was said, “In Isaac will your seed be called”;
    • 19   concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
    • 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 worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
    • 22   By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.
    • 23   By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
    • 24   By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
    • 25   choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
    • 26   accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
    • 27   By faith, he left 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 on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
    • 30   By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
    • 31   By faith, Rahab the prostitute, didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
    • 32   What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;
    • 33   who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out 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, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
    • 35   Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
    • 36   Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
    • 37   They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
    • 38   (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
    • 39   These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
    • 40   God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

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.
