Footnotes

  1. Hebrews 11:39 sn The expression these all were commended forms an inclusio with Heb 11:2: The chapter begins and ends with references to commendation for faith.
  2. Hebrews 11:39 tn Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.
  3. Hebrews 11:40 tn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
