Hebrews Bible Study 11:32-40

32 Καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω; ἐπιλείψει με γὰρ διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ Γεδεών, Βαράκ, Σαμψών, Ἰεφθάε, Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν,  33 οἳ διὰ πίστεως κατηγωνίσαντο βασιλείας, εἰργάσαντο δικαιοσύνην, ἐπέτυχον ἐπαγγελιῶν, ἔφραξαν στόματα λεόντων,  34 ἔσβεσαν δύναμιν πυρός, ἔφυγον στόματα μαχαίρης, ἐδυναμώθησαν ἀπὸ ἀσθενείας, ἐγενήθησαν ἰσχυροὶ ἐν πολέμῳ, παρεμβολὰς ἔκλιναν ἀλλοτρίων·  35 ἔλαβον γυναῖκες ἐξ ἀναστάσεως τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν·

And what more shall I say? For the time is insufficient for me to give a detailed account regarding Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith defeated kingdoms, brought about justice, obtained promised things, kept the mouths of lions shut, extinguished the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were empowered when they were weak, became mighty in war, turned to flight the battle lines of foreign enemies; women received their dead sons back by resurrection.

ἄλλοι δὲ ἐτυμπανίσθησαν, οὐ προσδεξάμενοι τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν, ἵνα κρείττονος ἀναστάσεως τύχωσιν·  36 ἕτεροι δὲ ἐμπαιγμῶν καὶ μαστίγων πεῖραν ἔλαβον, ἔτι δὲ δεσμῶν καὶ φυλακῆς·  37 ἐλιθάσθησαν, ἐπρίσθησαν, ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρης ἀπέθανον, περιῆλθον ἐν μηλωταῖς, ἐν αἰγείοις δέρμασιν, ὑστερούμενοι, θλιβόμενοι, κακουχούμενοι,  38 ὧν οὐκ ἦν ἄξιος ὁ κόσμος ἐπὶ ἐρημίαις πλανώμενοι καὶ ὄρεσι καὶ σπηλαίοις καὶ ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῆς γῆς· 

But others were tormented, not welcoming their deliverance, in order to experience a better resurrection. And others experienced mocking and scourging, and additionally, chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in half, they died by being murdered with a sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in need, being afflicted, being mistreated, of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and on hills and in caves and holes in the ground.

39 καὶ πάντες μαρτυρηθέντες διὰ τῆς πίστεως οὐκ ἐκομίσαντο τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν,  40 τοῦ θεοῦ περὶ ἡμῶν κρεῖττόν τι προβλεψαμένου, ἵνα μὴ χωρὶς ἡμῶν τελειωθῶσιν. 

And all these, although they were well spoken of by their faith, did not come into possession of what was promised, since God has provided something better for us, in order that they might not be brought to the goal without us.

because God had planned something better that would involve us, so that only with us would they be brought to the goal.
