¹ Now faith is assurance of `things' hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by sight);

¹⁸ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

²⁴ For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

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.

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, `a hope' both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

⁷ that the proof of your faith, `being' more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

⁸ whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

¹³ But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

¹³ `I had fainted', unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living.

¹¹ Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, `Who is' the help of my countenance, and my God.

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.

²² let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

¹⁴ for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

¹⁷ Wherefore if any man is in Christ, `he is' a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

³ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;

¹² that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

³⁹ But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.

¹ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and `the' Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

¹⁷ That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.

⁴ lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.
