Hebrews 11:1-4

Faith before sight

Story guide: Faith concerns what is hoped for and unseen. Abel is the first named example: his offering receives testimony, and his witness continues beyond death.

1Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the proof of things not seen.

2For by this the elders received approval.

3By faith we understand that the ages were framed by the word of God, so that what is seen did not come into being from things that are visible.

4By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested as righteous, God testifying concerning his gifts; and through it, though he died, he still speaks.
