Hebrews 11:4 Context
2For by it the Elders obtained a good report. 3Through faith we vnderstand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seene were not made of things which doe appeare. 4By faith Abel offered vnto God a more excellent sacrifice then Kain, by which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead, yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him: For before his translation he had this testimonie, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for hee that commeth to God, must beleeue that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seeke him.
