Hebrews 11:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]By faith Abel (A)offered unto God a greater sacrifice than Cain, by (B)the which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh.
5 [b]By faith was (C)Enoch translated, that he should not [c]see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a [d]rewarder of them that seek him.
