By Faith We Understand
1 Now faith is the1 substance of things hoped for, the2 evidence aof things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that athe worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Faith at the Dawn of History
4 By faith aAbel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still bspeaks.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, a“and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
