[[Faith]]<ref>Etymology: a very early English term dating from 1200-50, based on the Middle English term "feith" (Anglo-French fed, Old French feid, feit, Latin fidem, accusative of fidēs meaning trust, akin to fīdere meaning to trust).</ref> (Greek: pistis/πίστις) is trust, [[confidence]] or [[belief]] about something unseen, such as attaining [[God]]'s will.<ref>Also, the website Bible Odyssey notes about certain contexts in the New Testament: "By the late first or early second century, Christians were beginning to stretch the meaning of pistis to describe the distinctive nature of their relationship with God and Christ. When the [[Letter of Jude]] exhorts a [[Christian]] group “contend for the faith (pistis) which was once delivered unto the saints” ([[Jude|Jude 3]]), it may be using pistis to refer to a body of teaching or even the “new covenant” in Christ."
