Hebrews 11:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 By faith we understand that the universe was[a] created by God’s command,[b](A) so that what is seen has been made from things that are not visible.
4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.(B)
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so he did not experience death, and he was not to be found because God took him away.[c] For prior to his removal he was approved, since he had pleased God.(C)

Hebrews 11:3-5
King James Version
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
