Hebrews is “sort of” attributed to Paul in Christian tradition (it doesn’t say it’s written by Paul, but it’s very Paul-like); but this authorship is controversial. I wasn’t aware of how controversial it was. I’ll revise my reference.
New Revised Standard Version: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
A couple nitpicks: The author of the book of Hebrews is not known, and this book is not normally attributed to Paul even in Christian tradition.
Also, your second quote appears to be from the New Revised Standard Version, not the New International Version that you cite.
