Hebrews 11:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible
11 1 He declareth in the whole Chapter, that the Fathers, which from the beginning of the world were approved of God, attained salvation no other way than by faith, that the Jews may know that by the same only, they are knit unto the Fathers in an holy union.
1 Now [a]faith is the grounds of things which are hoped for, and the evidence of things which are not seen.
2 [b]For by it our [c]elders were well reported of.

- Hebrews 11:1 An excellent description of faith by the effects, because it representeth things which are but yet in hope, and setteth as it were before our eyes things that are invisible.
- Hebrews 11:2 He showeth that the Fathers ought to be accounted of, by this virtue.
- Hebrews 11:2 That is, those Fathers of whom we came: and whose authority and example ought to move us very much.
