"By faith, we understand the world to be fashioned by the Word of God, so that the visible might be made by the invisible. "
— Hebrews 11:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
“By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear. ”
“By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.”
“By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.”
“By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be made.”
“By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be.”
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not apparent.
For this reason, the ancients were given testimony.
By faith, we understand the world to be fashioned by the Word of God, so that the visible might be made by the invisible.
By faith, Abel offered to God a much better sacrifice than that of Cain, through which he obtained testimony that he was just, in that God offered testimony to his gifts. And through that sacrifice, he still speaks to us, though he is dead.
By faith, Enoch was transferred, so that he would not see death, and he was not found because God had transferred him. For before he was transferred, he had testimony that he pleased God.
But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.
