Hebrews 11:3-5
English Standard Version
3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by (A)the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of (B)things that are visible.
4 By faith (C)Abel offered to God (D)a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And (E)through his faith, though he died, he (F)still speaks. 5 By faith (G)Enoch 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.
