Speaking as one of the anointed and referring to faithful men and women who lived before Christ, the apostle Paul wrote: “All these, although they had witness borne to them through their faith, did not get the fulfillment of the promise, as God foresaw something better for us [the anointed], in order that they might not be made perfect apart from us. ”
क्योंकि परमेश्‍वर ने हमारे [अभिषिक्‍त जनों के] लिये पहिले से एक उत्तम बात ठहराई, कि वे हमारे बिना सिद्धता को न पहुंचें । ”
