To Correspondents.

W. F. THOMAS: In the expression, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for,” in Heb. 11:1, the word substance is from hupostasis, and is defined by Greenfield as follows: “Something placed under; a basis, foundation; by metonymy a certain persuasion, firm or implicit confidence, constancy. Heb. 3:14; confidence, that is assured expectation, confident anticipation, 2 Cor. 9:4; 11:17; Heb. 11:1; hypostasis, substance, essence, being, something of which we can say it is, opposed to phantasia, mere appearance, Heb. 1:3.”
