(It is) not faith (which) fears. Explanation: That this is the meaning is indicated by the fact that the negative precedes the subject nominative rather than the predicate. 'Faith without fear' is incorrect and 'Fair fears not' is literally correct but does not bring out the emphasis on 'faith' implied in the Latin. |

faith fears not Explanation: I think this is the most simple and correct. In my opinion the reason why "non" is before the subject is just because of the possibility that Latin offers of not keeping a rigid phrase structure. |
