¹ Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. ² For by it the people of old received God's commendation. ³ By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God's command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. ⁴ By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith he still speaks, though he is dead. ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God.
