Hebrews 11:13

11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, ¹  but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners ²  on the earth.

Hebrews 11:40

11:40 For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us. ³ 

[11:13]  ¹ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[11:13]  ² tn Or “sojourners.”

[11:40]  ³ tn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
