37. They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by murder with a sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, impoverished, afflicted, mistreated,
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 all were approved through their faith, they did not receive what was promised,
40. because God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.
