Hebrews 11:13-16
New International Version
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;(A) they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,(B) admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.(C) 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(D) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(E) Therefore God is not ashamed(F) to be called their God,(G) for he has prepared a city(H) for them.
Hebrews 11:39
New International Version
39 These were all commended(A) for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,(B)
Hebrews 11:40
New International Version
40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us(A) would they be made perfect.(B)
