Nonetheless, the lesson Paul drew is powerful: “In faith all these [including Abraham and his family] died, although they did not get the fulfillment of the promises, but they saw them afar off and welcomed them and publicly declared that they were strangers and temporary residents in the land. ”
Sellegipoolest on Pauluse antud õpetus väga jõuline; ta kirjutas: „Usus need kõik [sealhulgas Aabraham ja tema pere] surid, saamata siiski kätte, mida oli tõotatud, vaid nägid seda kaugelt ja tervitasid seda ning tunnistasid avalikult, et nad on võõrad ja ajutised elanikud sellel maal ”.
