RSV ~ Hebrews 11 v1 - 3

Heb 11:1-3 | The Meaning of Faith

1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

2 For by it the men of old received divine approval.

3 By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.
