Hebrews 11:5

Easy To Read Version

Enoch was carried away from this earth. He never died. The Scripture {\cf2\super [144]} says that, before Enoch was carried off, he was a man who truly pleased God. Later, people could not find Enoch, because God took Enoch to be with him. This happened to Enoch because he had faith.
