And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.

χωρις δε πιστεως αδυνατον ειναι να ευαρεστηση τις εις αυτον· διοτι ο προσερχομενος εις τον Θεον πρεπει να πιστευη οτι ειναι και γινεται μισθαποδοτης εις τους εκζητουντας αυτον.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
