Hebrews 11:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a [a]rewarder of them that seek him.
7 [b]By faith (A)Noah being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seen, moved with reverence, prepared the Ark to the saving of his household, through the which Ark he condemned the world, and was made heir of the righteousness, which is by faith.
8 [c]By faith (B)Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to go out into a place, which he should afterward receive for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
