“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
By faith Noah, warned about events yet unseen, respected the warning and built an ark to save his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith — Noah's faith was demonstrated in obedience despite the absurdity: he built (kataskeuazō) an ark against no visible threat. Condemned the world (katakrinō tō kosmon) through his faithful contrast; became heir of righteousness (dikaiosynē) through faith.
