Hebrews 11:1-7

1NowG1161 faithG4102 is the 12assuranceG5287 of things 34hopedG1679 for, the 5convictionG1650 of 6thingsG4229 not seenG991. 2For by it the 7menG4245 of oldG4245 89gainedG3140 approvalG3140.

3By faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the 1011worldsG165 were preparedG2675 12by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that what is seenG991 13was not madeG1096 out of things which are visibleG5316. 4By faithG4102 14AbelG6 offeredG4374 to GodG2316 a betterG4183 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, throughG1223 whichG3739 he 15obtainedG3140 the testimonyG3140 that he was righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 16aboutG1909 his 17giftsG1435, and throughG1223 18faith, though 19he is deadG599, he stillG2089 speaksG2980. 5By faithG4102 20EnochG1802 was takenG3346 up so that he would not 21seeG3708 deathG2288; and he was not foundG2147 becauseG1360 GodG2316 tookG3346 him up; for he obtainedG3140 the witnessG3140 that beforeG4253 his beingG3331 takenG3331 up he was pleasingG2100 to GodG2316. 6And withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 Him, for he who 22comesG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 that He is and that He is a rewarderG3406 of thoseG3588 who seekG1567 Him. 7By faithG4102 23NoahG3575, being 24warnedG5537 by God aboutG4012 25things not yetG3369 seenG991, 2627in reverenceG2125 28preparedG2680 an arkG2787 for the salvationG4991 of his householdG3624, by whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, and becameG1096 an heirG2818 of 29the righteousnessG1343 which is accordingG2596 to faithG4102.
