Hebrews 11:4

[In the chiasm, this passage is balanced against the examples of people who suffered and died in faith, see verses 36-38.]
By faith, Abel brought a better sacrifice to God than Cain, and was justified by God himself attesting to (accepting) his offerings [Gen. 4:4–8]. Although he [Abel] is now dead, his faith still speaks.
[Abel's example of faith and sacrifice that did not come from his own achievements and deeds still speaks to us today, see Gen. 4:10.]
