히브리서 11

Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of what we do not see.
2 선진들이 이로써 증거를 얻었으니라
Because of their faith, the people of old were commended.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed by the word of God. Consequently, we know that what can be seen did not come from anything visible. (aiōn g165)
