By Faith We Understand

11 Now faith is the ^[a]substance of things hoped for, the ^[b]evidence ^(A)of things not seen.

^17 (A)Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, ^(B)gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with ^(C)food and gladness.”

²⁰ For since the creation of the world ^(A)His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and ^[a]Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

¹⁷ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
