Read Full ChapterAnd without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
World English Bible (WEB)
But{G1161} without{G5565} faith{G4102} it is impossible{G102} to please{G2100}{(G5658)} him: for{G1063} he that cometh{G4334}{(G5740)} to God{G2316} must{G1163}{(G5748)} believe{G4100}{(G5658)} that{G3754} he is{G2076}{(G5748)}, and{G2532} that he is{G1096}{(G5736)} a rewarder{G3406} of them that diligently seek{G1567}{(G5723)} him{G846}.
Strong's King James
(6) Now without believing faith it's impossible to please because he who comes to יהוה YAHWEH must believe that He is! And is a rewarder of those seeking Him.
The F.O.G
[6] And this demonstrates a timeless truth: you cannot develop a relationship with God while doubting His existence. Anyone who wants to draw near to Him must first believe that He is real and that He passionately rewards those who make seeking Him their life's quest.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
