Hebrews 11:1-7

1NowG1161 faithG4102 is the 1certaintyG5287 of things 23hopedG1679 for, a 4proofG1650 of 5thingsG4229 not seenG991. 2For by it the 6peopleG4245 ofG4245 oldG4245 78gainedG3140 approvalG3140.

3By faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the 910worldG165 has been createdG2675 11by the wordG4487 of GodG2316 soG1519 thatG1519 what is seenG991 12has not been madeG1096 out of things that are visibleG5316. 4By faithG4102 13AbelG6 offeredG4374 to GodG2316 a betterG4183 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, throughG1223 whichG3739 he was 14attestedG3140 to be righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 15aboutG1909 his 16giftsG1435, and throughG1223 17faith, though 18he is deadG599, he stillG2089 speaksG2980. 5By faithG4102 19EnochG1802 was takenG3346 upG3346 so that he would not 20seeG3708 deathG2288; and he was not foundG2147 becauseG1360 GodG2316 tookG3346 him upG3346; for beforeG4253 he was takenG3331 upG3331, he was attestedG3140 to have been pleasingG2100 to GodG2316. 6And withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 Him, for the one who 21comesG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 that He existsG1510, and that He provesG1096 toG1096 beG1096 OneG3406 whoG3406 rewardsG3406 thoseG3588 who seekG1567 Him. 7By faithG4102 22NoahG3575, being 23warnedG5537 by God aboutG4012 24things not yetG3369 seenG991, 2526inG2125 reverenceG2125 27preparedG2680 an arkG2787 for the salvationG4991 of his householdG3624, by whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, and becameG1096 an heirG2818 of 28the righteousnessG1343 which is accordingG2596 to faithG4102.
