38 of whom the world was not worthy, wandering about on deserts and mountains and in caves and in holes in the ground. 39 And although they[a] all were approved[b] through their faith, they did not receive what was promised, 40 because[c] God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.
