Hebrews 11:4

11:4 By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith ⁵  he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith ⁶  he still speaks, though he is dead.

[8:4]  ¹ tn Grk “there are those who offer.”

[5:1]  ² tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

[5:1]  ³ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

[5:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

[11:4]  ³ tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through which.”

[11:4]  ⁴ tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through it.”
