Answer 7

I take it as meaning that their faith shored them up, helped give them the courage to go on, no matter what the outcome. (The outcome being, in this ideology, in God's hands.)

But, as always, context is all. This is one sentence lifted completely out of context. How you would interpret it exactly has to do with the rest of the passage in which it appears.
