Hebrews 11:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a greater sacrifice than Cain, by which he was approved that he was righteous, because^[a] God approved him for his gifts, and through it^[b] he still speaks, although he^[c] is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up, so that he did not experience death, and he was not found, because God took him up. For before his removal, he had been approved as having been pleasing^[d] to God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and is a rewarder of those who seek him.
