NASB | Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. |
Subject: Define Faith. |
Bible Note: Thanks CDBJ! Now, is faith always or necessarily something that can't be proven? Can I have faith in something that can be proven? For example, is it a misuse or misunderstanding of faith to say, "I believe two plus two is four?" Or to put it another way, if something can be proven, does that proof then put it outside the perception of faith? Peace, Lionstrong |
