Hebrews 11:2-4

New Century Version

² Faith is the reason we remember great people who lived in the past.

³ It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God’s command so what we see was made by something that cannot be seen.

⁴ It was by faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God said he was pleased with the gifts Abel offered and called Abel a good man because of his faith. Abel died, but through his faith he is still speaking.
