Hebreus 11
1 Ora, a fé é o firme fundamento das coisas que se esperam, e a prova das coisas que se não vêem.
Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
2 Porque por ella os antigos alcançaram testemunho.
For by this, the elders obtained approval.
3 Pela fé entendemos que os seculos pela palavra de Deus foram creados; de maneira que as coisas que se vêem não foram feitas das que se viam. (aiōn g165)

5 Pela fé Enoch foi trasladado para não ver a morte, e não foi achado, porquanto Deus o trasladara; porque antes da sua trasladação alcançou testemunho de que agradava a Deus.
By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
6 Ora, sem fé é impossivel agradar a Deus: porque é necessario que aquelle que se approxima de Deus creia que elle existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam.
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

26 Tendo por maiores riquezas o vituperio de Christo do que os thesouros do Egypto; porque tinha em vista a recompensa.
