These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,

这些人都是因信得了美好的证据，却仍未得着所应许的；

这些人都是因信获得了赞许，却仍未得着所应许的，

这些人都是因信获得了赞许，却仍未得着所应许的，

这些人都因信心而获得赞许，但他们并未得到上帝的应许，

所有这些人都藉着信得了称许，却还没有得着所应许的；

这些人虽然都藉着信受到了赞许，还是没有领受到所应许的，

這些人都是因信得了美好的證據，卻仍未得着所應許的；

這些人都是因信獲得了讚許，卻仍未得着所應許的，

這些人都是因信獲得了讚許，卻仍未得着所應許的，

這些人都因信心而獲得讚許，但他們並未得到上帝的應許，

所有這些人都藉著信得了稱許，卻還沒有得著所應許的；

這些人雖然都藉着信得了讚許的證言，卻沒有領受所應許的；

這些人雖然都藉著信受到了讚許，還是沒有領受到所應許的，

是皆以信得美證、而未獲所許、

此皆稱有信、但未得上帝所許、

此皆得有信之稱、但未得天主所許者、

凡此何一非因信德而見稱者乎？顧其未獲所許者何也？
