Hebrews 11:1-4
1Now faith is the 1certainty of things 23hoped for, a 4proof of 5things not seen. 2For by it the 6people of old 78gained approval.
3By faith we understand that the 910world has been created 11by the word of God so that what is seen 12has not been made out of things that are visible. 4By faith 13Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was 14attested to be righteous, God testifying 15about his 16gifts, and through 17faith, though 18he is dead, he still speaks.
