Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 1:45

"And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord." — Luke 1:45 (ASV)

Blessed is she that believed.—The two renderings, “for there shall be,” and “that there shall be,” are equally tenable grammatically. On internal grounds there seems a balance in favour of the latter, as the other interpretation appears to make the fulfilment of the promise dependent upon the Virgin’s faith.
