Hebrews 11:2-4

Common English Bible

² The elders in the past were approved because they showed faith.

Acts of faith by God’s people

³ By faith we understand that the universe has been created by a word from God so that the visible came into existence from the invisible.

⁴ By faith Abel offered a better sacrifice to God than Cain, which showed that he was righteous, since God gave approval to him for his gift. Though he died, he’s still speaking through faith.
