Hebrews 11:4-7

International Standard Version

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did,^[a] and by faith^[b] he was declared to be righteous, since God himself accepted his offerings. And by faith^[c] he continues to speak, even though he is dead.

⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away without experiencing death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he won approval as one who pleased God. ⁶ Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him.

⁷ By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, reverently prepared an ark to save his family, and by faith^[d] he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes by faith.
