Hebrews 11:40
God having provided some better thing for us. The new and better
covenant, the gospel, the realization of the promises made to Abraham.
That they without us should not be made perfect. That they and
we together might be made complete in the city whose builder and maker
is God. The full fruition, the being made complete (perfect) belongs to
the heavenly state. All these ancient heroes, who died not having
received the promise, need the realization of the promise in Christ to
make them perfect; by that promise we also are saved.
