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: Hi Hank, You write, "I think we need not resort to esoteric or philosophical definitions or discussions of faith..." Why do you say this? Do you think this is my aim? I've already stated my reason for Heb 11:1 not begin what is given in Scripture as a definition of faith. Rather than repeat what I've already written, I would direct your attention further up the tree. Thanking you for your interest in this topic, Peace, Lionstrong |
