Hebrews 11:4

11:4 By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith ¹  he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith ²  he still speaks, though he is dead.

Hebrews 11:40

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

[11:4]  ¹ tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through which.”

[11:4]  ² tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through it.”

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