39 But we are not of those withdrawing to destruction, but of faith, to the preservation of the soul.
11 1 Now faith is the substantiation of things having been hoped, the evidence of things not having been seen.
2 For by this the elders obtained witness.
3 By faith we understand the ages to have been framed by the word of God, so that the things seen should not come into being out of things that appear.
4 By faith Abel offered a greater sacrifice to God than Cain, by which he obtained witness to be righteous, God testifying over his gifts; and through it, having died, he yet speaks.
5 By faith "Enoch" was translated so as not to see death, and "was not found, because God translated him." For before his translation, he had obtained witness to have been pleasing to God. Gen. 5:24
6 But without faith it is impossible to please God . For it is right that the one drawing near to God should believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder to the ones seeking Him out.
7 Being warned by God about the things not yet having been seen, moved with fear, by faith Noah prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness according to faith.
