Hebrews 11:3-6
Contemporary English Version
3 (A) Because of our faith, we know that the world was made at God's command. We also know that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.
4 (B) Because Abel had faith, he offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God was pleased with him and his gift, and even though Abel is now dead, his faith still speaks for him.
5 (C) Enoch had faith and did not die. He pleased God, and God took him up to heaven. This is why his body was never found. 6 But without faith no one can please God. We must believe that God is real and rewards everyone who searches for him.
