11:39And these all were commended43 for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.4411:40For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us.45
Footnotes
- 43 The expression these all were commended forms an inclusio with Heb 11:2: The chapter begins and ends with references to commendation for faith.
- 44 Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.
- 45 The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
