Hebrews 11:4-7
4By faith aAbel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he bwas approved as being righteous—God approving 1his cgifts—and through 2faith, though dhe is dead, he still speaks. 5By faith aEnoch was taken up so that he would not bsee death; and he was not found because God took him up; for prior to being taken up, he was approved as being pleasing to God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who adraws near to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. 7By faith aNoah, being bwarned about cthings not yet seen, 1,din reverence eprepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of fthe righteousness which is according to faith.
