Hebrews 11:1-6 NIV
1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we
do not see.
2
This is what the ancients were commended for.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's
command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4
By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith
he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his
offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not
experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him
away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased
God.
6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who
comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those
who earnestly seek him.
