Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
All Commentaries on Hebrews 11:1 Go To Hebrews 11
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
All this chapter is a commendation and recommendation of faith, which is the substance of things hoped for, giving as it were a substance in our minds to such things as we are in hopes and in expectation of hereafter, and making them present to us before they come to pass.
It is also a sure conviction a testimony from God that their actions were pleasing to him. (Witham)
Faith is the basis, the foundation supporting our hope; for unless there be faith, there cannot possibly be any hope. (Menochius)
