For by this, the elders obtained testimony.
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn't receive the promise,
By faith, Hevel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Kayin, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
