SCRIPTURE

"And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise," — Hebrews 11:39 (ASV)

These all (ουτο παντες). The whole list in verses 5-38. Cf. verse 13.

Through their faith (δια πιστεως). Here rather than πιστε as so often.

Received not the promise (ουκ εκομισαντο την επαγγελιαν). First aorist middle of κομιζω. The Messianic promise they did not live to see (11:13), though they had individual special promises fulfilled as already shown (11:33).
