Hebrews 11:1 It is dangerous to take any sentence in isolation and consider it bereft of context, for that is how meaning and intent get distorted, but noteworthy in this sentence even in isolation from Paul's Letter to the Hebrews is the complete absence of any reference to God. Even the sentence that follows this refers to men, and not to God: "This is what the ancients were commended for."
