Hebrews 11:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 11:2

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.
