Hebrews 11:4-7
Legacy Standard Bible
4 By faith (A)Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he (B)was approved as being righteous—God approving [a]his (C)gifts—and through [b]faith, though (D)he is dead, he still speaks. 5 By faith (E)Enoch was taken up so that he would not (F)see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for prior to being taken up, he was approved as being pleasing to God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who (G)draws near to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. 7 By faith (H)Noah, being (I)warned about (J)things not yet seen, [c](K)in reverence (L)prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of (M)the righteousness which is according to faith.

Hebrews 11:4-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.(A)
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.[a] For prior to his removal he was approved, since he had pleased God.(B) 6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.
7 By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built an ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.(C)
