To encourage the Hebrews to endure in faith (see Hebrews 10:35–39) those believers who persevered in difficult situations and persecution are mentioned in Hebrews 11:1–40. Verses Hebrews 11:4–8 speaks about people who lived in the old world—the world before the flood (2 Peter 2:4). Enoch was commended as having pleased God (Hebrews 11:5). It means that God, the Holy Spirit gave a positive testimony about him in the Bible. (Look at Hebrews 10:12; Hebrews 11:2, Hebrews 11:4–5, Hebrews 11:39 to see for what these witnesses were commended.)
5 C'est par la foi qu'Hénoc fut enlevé pour qu'il ne voie point la mort, et il ne parut plus parce que Dieu l'avait enlevé; car, avant son enlèvement, il avait reçu le témoignage qu'il était agréable à Dieu.
