1信就是所望之事的實底，是未見之事的確據。
1Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
2古人在這信上得了美好的證據。
2For by this, the elders obtained approval.
3我們因着信，就知道諸世界是藉上帝話造成的；這樣，所看見的，並不是從顯然之物造出來的。

6人非有信，就不能得上帝的喜悅；因為到上帝面前來的人必須信有上帝，且信他賞賜那尋求他的人。
6Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

14說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家鄉。
14For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
15他們若想念所離開的家鄉，還有可以回去的機會。
15If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
16他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉，就是在天上的。所以上帝被稱為他們的上帝，並不以為恥，因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。
