They were saved by faith
Enoch, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob did not have any scriptures at all.
The Torah begun with Moses, and even then Faith still was the way people were saved. The Law only made their sin obvious and showed them a better way to live.
The first Christians did not have a New Testament, they used the Torah of Moses to preach about Jesus.
