Hebrews 11:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.[a]
The Examples of Abel, Enoch, and Noah
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable[b] sacrifice than Cain’s. Through this he received approval as righteous, God himself giving approval to his gifts; he died, but through his faith[c] he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken so that he did not experience death; and ‘he was not found, because God had taken him.’ For it was attested before he was taken away that ‘he had pleased God.’
