1 Now faith is an assurance of things hoped for, a sure persuasion of things not seen; 2 for in this the elders were well reported of. 3 By faith we perceive that the ages have been constituted by the word of God, so that what is seen has not arisen out of things that appear. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he, being dead, is still speaking. 5 By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for, it has been witnessed to him that, before his translation, he had been well-pleasing to God. 6 And, apart from faith, it is impossible to please Him ; for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder to those who seek after Him.
