The Greek word for faith, "pistis," implies a deep trust and confidence in God. This faith is not merely intellectual assent but involves a commitment to God's promises, even when they are not yet visible. In the context of Hebrews, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen (<a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11:1</a>). This faith is foundational to the believer's relationship with God, as it was for the ancients who received commendation for their trust in God's promises.Noah Noah is a pivotal figure in the biblical narrative, known for his righteousness and obedience to God. His account is primarily found in <a href="/genesis/6.htm">Genesis 6-9</a>. Noah's inclusion in <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11</a> highlights his exemplary faith, which was demonstrated in his actions. In a world filled with corruption and violence, Noah stood out as a man who walked with God (<a href="/genesis/6-9.htm">Genesis 6:9</a>). His faith was not passive but active, leading him to obey God's command to build an ark, despite the absence of rain or any visible sign of the impending flood.when warned about things not yet seen This phrase underscores the nature of Noah's faith. The Greek word for "warned" is "chrēmatizō," which can mean to be divinely instructed or warned. Noah received a revelation from God about the coming flood, something unprecedented and unseen. His faith was demonstrated in his response to this divine warning. The "things not yet seen" refers to the flood, which was a future event that required Noah to trust in God's word without any empirical evidence. This aspect of faith is crucial, as it involves trusting in God's promises and warnings, even when they defy human understanding or experience.in godly fear The phrase "in godly fear" reflects Noah's reverence and respect for God. The Greek word "eulabeia" conveys a sense of awe and piety. Noah's fear was not a paralyzing terror but a reverent acknowledgment of God's holiness and power. This godly fear motivated Noah to act in obedience to God's command. It is a reminder that true faith is accompanied by a reverence for God, recognizing His authority and responding accordingly.built an ark to save his family Noah's faith was manifested in his obedience to build an ark, a massive undertaking that required significant time and resources. The ark was not only a means of salvation for Noah and his family but also a symbol of God's provision and protection. The act of building the ark was a tangible expression of Noah's faith, demonstrating his trust in God's promise to save him and his family from the coming judgment. This obedience is a powerful example of how faith leads to action, aligning one's life with God's will.By faith he condemned the world Noah's faith and obedience served as a testimony against the unbelieving world. The Greek word for "condemned" is "katakrinō," which means to judge against or pronounce a sentence upon. Noah's righteous actions and trust in God stood in stark contrast to the wickedness of his contemporaries. His faithfulness highlighted their unbelief and disobedience, serving as a form of judgment. This aspect of Noah's faith challenges believers to live in such a way that their lives bear witness to God's truth, even in a world that may reject it.and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith Noah's faith resulted in him becoming an heir of righteousness. The concept of being an "heir" implies receiving an inheritance, something that is given rather than earned. The righteousness that Noah received was not based on his works but was a result of his faith. This righteousness is a key theme in the New Testament, particularly in the writings of Paul, who emphasizes that righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ (<a href="/romans/3-22.htm">Romans 3:22</a>). Noah's example foreshadows the righteousness that believers receive through faith, highlighting the continuity of God's plan of salvation throughout the Scriptures.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) Being warned of God.--(See <a href="/hebrews/8-5.htm" title="Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, said he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.">Hebrews 8:5</a>.)Moved with fear.--The marginal rendering "being wary" (or better, taking forethought) is preferred by some, and agrees very well with the proper meaning of the word; but it is more probable that the writer-has in view that devout godly fear which the words akin to this regularly denote in the New Testament. (See the Notes on <a href="/hebrews/5-7.htm" title="Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;">Hebrews 5:7</a>; <a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm" title="Why we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:">Hebrews 12:28</a>.) Noah's obedience to the divine warning was an evidence at once of his fear of God and of the faith which gave substance and present reality to "the things not seen as yet."By the which.--As before (<a href="/hebrews/11-4.htm" title="By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.">Hebrews 11:4</a>), the words "through which" are slightly ambiguous, for they may relate either to the ark or to the faith. The latter reference is more probable. His faith, shown in the building of the ark, exposed the unbelief of "the world," which would not listen to his warnings, and thereby incurred the divine condemnation. Our Lord uses "condemn" in the same sense in <a href="/context/matthew/12-41.htm" title="The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.">Matthew 12:41-42</a>. By the same faith Noah "became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith." Noah is the first to receive in Scripture the name "righteous" (<a href="/genesis/6-9.htm" title="These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.">Genesis 6:9</a>). See also <a href="/ezekiel/14-14.htm" title="Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, said the Lord GOD.">Ezekiel 14:14</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/14-20.htm" title="Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, said the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.">Ezekiel 14:20</a>; and <a href="/2_peter/2-5.htm" title="And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;">2Peter 2:5</a>, "Noah, a preacher of righteousness." This righteousness is looked on as an inheritance, received by all who manifest the faith. In this place the righteousness is connected with faith, as in the writings of St. Paul, but with a change of figure. It is not looked on as arising out of faith (<a href="/romans/10-6.htm" title="But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)">Romans 10:6</a>), or as resting on the condition of faith (<a href="/philippians/3-9.htm" title="And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:">Philippians 3:9</a>), or as obtained by means of faith (<a href="/romans/3-22.htm" title="Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and on all them that believe: for there is no difference:">Romans 3:22</a>), but as corresponding with faith, or answering to it. There is no important difference of thought, but the idea of a continuous inheritance answering to continuous faith is very strikingly presented here. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hebrews/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 7. - By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear (εὐλαβηθεὶς), prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which (i.e. faith) he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith (κατὰ πίστιν). The "things not seen as yet" were the divinely predicted events of the Deluge. The word εὐλαβηθεὶς (translated as above in the A.V.) is taken by many commentators as implying godly fear, a sentiment of piety, with reference to the previous χρηματισθεὶς, since the noun εὐλαβεία seems to have this special sense in <a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28</a>, μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ εὐλαβείας (see what was said under ver. 7, where the word occurred); so too the adjective, εὐλαβὴς, <a href="/luke/2-25.htm">Luke 2:25</a>; <a href="/acts/2-5.htm">Acts 2:5</a>; <a href="/acts/8-2.htm">Acts 8:2</a>. Hence the emendation, "moved with godly fear," in the recent "Revised Version." But, inasmuch as the verb εὐλαβείσθαι has in the New Testament, as elsewhere, only its original import of caution or circumspection, there is no need to suppose here a further meaning (cf. <a href="/acts/23-10.htm">Acts 23:10</a>, the only other passage in the New Testament where the verb occurs). Ebrard, taking only prudent forethought to be expressed, enlarges on the lesson thus conveyed to the effect that he who acts on simple faith, regardless of the world's opinion or of ridicule, is the one who is truly prudent. And we may add that such prudence legitimately comes in as a motive in the religious life. The antecedent of "which" (δἰ ῆς), though the ancients generally understand κιβωτὸν, is taken as above by most moderns; the reason being, not only that faith (see in ver. 4) is the ruling idea of the whole passage, but also that it suits better the expressed results, especially the second, "became heir," etc. For to say that he became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith through the ark, as being the evidence of his faith, or as being the means of his preservation, is less intelligible than to say that through faith he became so. The sense in which Noah "condemned the world" is illustrated by <a href="/matthew/12-41.htm">Matthew 12:41, 42</a>, "The men of Nineveh," etc., "The queen of the South," etc. (cf. <a href="/romans/2-27.htm">Romans 2:27</a>). His becoming "heir," etc., rests on the view of the fulfillment of primeval promise being transmitted as an inheritance to the faithful. Noah, as he appears in Genesis, was eminently heir in this sense, as alone in his day appropriating it and as transmitting it to his seed. In like manner Abraham, who is next mentioned, was the prominent heir among the subsequent patriarchs (cf. <a href="/romans/4-13.htm">Romans 4:13</a>). The idea running through the whole Old Testament is that, in the midst of a sinful world, an inheritance of salvation was transmitted through a chosen seed, till the Christ should come as the "Heir of all things," the perfected Head and Representative of all redeemed humanity. The word δικαιοσύνη as that of which Noah was heir, may have been suggested with reference to him by his being the first who is called δίκαιος in <a href="/genesis/6-9.htm">Genesis 6:9</a>, and by this being his usual designation (<a href="/ezekiel/14-14.htm">Ezekiel 14:14, 20</a>; Ecclus. 44:17; Wisd. 10:4, 6, Sir. 44:17; cf. <a href="/2_peter/2-5.htm">2 Peter 2:5</a>, κήρυξ δικαιοσύνης). The whole phrase, τῆς κατὰ πίστιν δικαιοσύνης, may be taken to imply the Pauline doctrine of justification by faith, which may be supposed to have been familiar to the readers of this Epistle, having been already fully enunciated by St. Paul, and dwelt on by him as especially exemplified in Abraham. St. Paul, indeed, does not use this exact phrase, but δικαιοσύνης πίστεως (<a href="/romans/4-11.htm">Romans 4:11, 13</a>); ἐκ πίστεως (<a href="/romans/10-6.htm">Romans 10:6</a>); ἐπὶ τῆ πίστει (<a href="/philippians/3-9.htm">Philippians 3:9</a>); but still the meaning may be the same. The correspondence is an instance of Pauline thought in this Epistle, while the difference of phrase affords a presumption, though by no means in itself conclusive, against Pauline authorship. <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/11-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>By faith Πίστει (Pistei) Noun - Dative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_4102.htm">Strong's 4102: </a> Faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness.
