7 By faith Noah,[a] having been warned by God about things not yet seen, took heed and built an ark to save his household. Through his faith he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that derives from faith.
The Faith of Abraham and His Descendants. 8 By faith Abraham[b] obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. He went forth without knowing where he was going.
