All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.
Philoxenus of Mabbug
And again he said, "In faith all these died, and did not receive their promises," for God considered aforetime help for us that they might not be perfected without us. And for their whole lives, according to the word of Christ, and until their departure from this world faith clave to them; by it they did mighty deeds while they were in the world, and by it they hoped and expected to receive the promises which were about to be, and to receive what had been promised to them for the sake of which they went forth after His word.
