October 2026 (Week 1)-Vocab Word: Faith

Hebrews 11:1-2 (King James Version/KJV)

1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2) For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Hebrews 11:1-2 (Amplified Version/AMP)

1) Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].

2) For by this [kind of] faith the [a] men of old gained [divine] approval.

***[a] i.e. those men and women who were faithful to God before the old covenant and those faithful to God after its establishment, those mentioned in this chapter.***

Romans 10:17 (King James Version/KJV)

17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17 (Amplified Version/AMP)

17) So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.

Luke 17:5 (King James Version/KJV)

5) And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Luke 17:5 (Amplified Version/AMP)

5) The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith [our ability to confidently trust in God and in His power].”

Matthew 17:20 (King James Version/KJV)

20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Matthew 17:20 (Amplified Version/AMP)

20) He answered, “Because of your little faith [your lack of trust and confidence in the power of God]; for I assure you and most solemnly say to you, [a] if you have [living] faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and [if it is God’s will] it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

***[a] Jesus used this moment to emphasize to the disciples that a person’s confident, abiding faith combined with God’s power can produce absolutely amazing results, if the request is in harmony with God’s will. God is fully capable of doing that which man regards as impossible (Mark 14:36; James 4:3).

Hebrews 11:6 (King James Version/KJV)

6) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Version/AMP)

6) But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.

James 2:14, 17, 26 (King James Version/KJV)

14) What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

17) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:14, 17, 26 (Amplified Version/AMP)

14) What is the benefit, my fellow believers, if someone claims to have faith but has no [good] works [as evidence]? Can that [kind of] faith save him? [No, a mere claim of faith is not sufficient—genuine faith produces good works.]

17) So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].

26) For just as the [human] body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works [of obedience] is also dead.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (King James Version/KJV)

7) (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord.

That spreads out its roots by the river;
And will not fear the heat when it comes;
But its leaves will be green and moist.
And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought
Nor stop bearing fruit.
