Hebrews 11:4 Douay-Rheims

By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Philoxenus of Mabbug

c. A.D. 450–523 Patristic

And none of the righteous pleased God without faith, even as the teaching of Paul testifieth, who, beginning with Abel, repeated all their names one after the other coming down unto the manifestation of Christ, and he showed that they all pleased God by faith.
