Hebrews

Hebrews 11:5–6

⁵By faith Enoch was taken up^a so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”^b For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

⁶And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
