Hebrews 11:39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, [40] God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
“All these,” incorporates the entirety of the men and women named (or alluded to) in chapter 11. Every one of them obtained a good testimony through faith. In Hebrews 12:1 they are the cloud of witnesses that surround us, not for judgment, but to inspire us to walk as they walked. Please note that the focus of this chapter is not the human element, but the source or object of the saints’ faith, which is God.
