¹³ Since we have ^(A)the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ^(B)“I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak,

By Faith

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of ^(A)things not seen.

²¹ For ^(A)no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^(B)as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Christ's Glory and the Prophetic Word

¹⁶ For we did not follow ^(A)cleverly devised ^(B)myths when we made known to you ^(C)the power and ^(D)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but ^(E)we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

^6 (A)And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes ⁷ and said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, ^(B)“The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land. ⁸ If ^(C)the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, ^(D)a land that flows with milk and honey. ⁹ Only ^(E)do not rebel against the Lord. And ^(F)do not fear the people of the land, for ^(G)they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”
