Hebrews 11:4 in Context — Hebrews 11

2 Pois por ela os antigos obtiveram testemunho.

3 Pela fé entendemos que o universo foi aprontado pela palavra de Deus, de maneira que as coisas que se veem não foram feitas de algo visível.

4 Pela fé, Abel ofereceu a Deus melhor sacrifício do que Caim; por isso obteve testemunho de que era justo, pois Deus testemunhou de suas ofertas; e mesmo estando morto, ainda fala por meio dela.

5 Pela fé, Enoque foi transportado para não experimentar a morte; e não foi achado, porque Deus havia o transportado; pois antes da sua transportação ele obteve testemunho de ter agradado a Deus.

6 Ora, sem fé é impossível agradar [a Deus] . Pois é necessário que aquele que se aproxima de Deus creia que ele existe, e que ele é recompensador dos que o buscam.
