Hebrews 11:1-3

Lamsa(i) 1 NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, just as it was the substance of things which have come to pass; and it is the evidence of things not seen, 2 And in this way it became a testimonial of the elders. 3 For it is through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen came to be from those which are not seen.
