Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists.

because we do not look for things that can be seen but for things that cannot be seen. For things that can be seen are temporary, but things that cannot be seen are eternal.

By faith we understand that time was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are invisible.

For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now a hope that can be observed is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?

By faith he left Egypt, without being afraid of the king's anger, and he persevered because he saw the one who is invisible.

For we live by faith, not by sight.

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, reverently prepared an ark to save his family, and by faith he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes by faith.
