How about:

Faith is the underlying reality of our hope, conclusive proof of unseen facts.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think PRAGMATWN belongs to
ELPIZOMENWN and is implied with BLEPOMENWN because it agrees with both in
case and number.

I think the definite article is needed simply to smooth out the English,
not because it adds anything to the sense of the sentence.
