Hebrews 11:1-6
By Faith
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of athings not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by athe word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of bthings that are visible.
4 By faith aAbel offered to God ba more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And cthrough his faith, though he died, he dstill speaks. 5 By faith aEnoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God amust believe that he exists and athat he rewards those who seek him.
