1. And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
2. for in this were the elders testified of;
3. by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;
4. by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.
