Hebrews 11:4 in Context — Hebrews 11
2 Pour l’avoir possédée, les anciens ont obtenu un témoignage favorable.
3 C’est par la foi que nous reconnaissons que le monde a été formé par la parole de Dieu, en sorte que ce qu’on voit n’a pas été fait de choses visibles.
4 C’est par la foi qu’Abel offrit à Dieu un sacrifice plus excellent que celui de Caïn; c’est par elle qu’il fut déclaré juste, Dieu approuvant ses offrandes; et c’est par elle qu’il parle encore, quoique mort.
5 C’est par la foi qu’Énoch fut enlevé pour qu’il ne vît point la mort, et qu’il ne parut plus parce que Dieu l’avait enlevé; car, avant son enlèvement, il avait reçu le témoignage qu’il était agréable à Dieu.
6 Or sans la foi il est impossible de lui être agréable; car il faut que celui qui s’approche de Dieu croie que Dieu existe, et qu’il est le rémunérateur de ceux qui le cherchent.
