Hebrews 11:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ It was by faith that Enoch was taken to heaven so he would not ·die [experience/^Lsee death]. He could not be found, because God had taken him away [Gen. 5:22–24]. Before he was taken, ·the Scripture says that he was [^Lhe was commended as] a man who truly pleased God. ⁶ [^LAnd] Without faith no one can please God. [^LFor; Because] Anyone who comes to God must believe that he ·is real [exists] and that he rewards those who ·truly want to find [earnestly/sincerely seek] him.

⁷ It was by faith that Noah heard God’s warnings about things he could not yet see [Gen. 6:13–22]. He ·obeyed God [responded with reverent fear] and built a ·large boat [^Tark] to save his ·family [household]. By his faith, Noah ·showed that the world was wrong [^Lcondemned/pronounced judgment against the world], and he became ·one of those who are made right with God [^Lan heir of the righteousness that comes] through faith.
