Reference: Belief

Hastings

Older Eng. (akin to lief and love) for the Lat.-French 'faith,' which displaced it in AV everywhere except in 2Th 2:13. RV follows AV except in Ro 10:16 f., where it restores 'belief,' after Tindale, in continuity with 'believe.' 'Unbelief held its ground as the antonym (Mt 13:58, etc., Ro 3:3 etc.). In modern Eng., 'faith' signifies ethical, 'belief' intellectual, credence: 'faith,' trust in a person; 'belief,' recognition of a fact or truth beyond the sphere of sensible observation or demonstrative proof. See Faith.
