SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:39
Y todos stos, aprobados por testimonio de la fe, no recibieron la promesa,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 11:39
Verse 39. Having obtained a good report (having been witnessed to; see ver. 2) through faith] It was faith in God which supported all those eminent men who, in different parts of the world, and in different ages, were persecuted for righteousness sake. Received not the promise] They all heard of the promises made to Abraham of a heavenly rest, and of the promise of the Messiah, for this was a constant tradition; but they died without having seen this Anointed of the Lord. Christ was not in any of their times manifested in the flesh; and of him who was the expectation of all nations, they heard only by the hearing of the ear. This must be the promise, without receiving of which the apostle says they died.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39, 40 - The world considers that the righteous are not worthy to live in the world, and God declares the world is not worthy of them. Though the righteous and the worldlings widely differ in their judgment, the agree in this, it is not fit that good men should have their rest in this world. Therefore God receives them out of it. The apostle tell the Hebrews, that God had provided some better things for them therefore they might be sure that he expected as good things from them As our advantages, with the better things God has provided for us, ar so much beyond theirs, so should our obedience of faith, patience of hope, and labour of love, be greater. And unless we get true faith a these believers had, they will rise up to condemn us at the last day Let us then pray continually for the increase of our faith, that we ma follow these bright examples, and be, with them, at length made perfec in holiness and happiness, and shine like the sun in the kingdom of ou Father for evermore __________________________________________________________________
