Hebrews 6:16

6:16 For people ¹  swear by something greater than themselves, ²  and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute. ³ 

Hebrews 11:40

11:40 For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us. ⁴

¹ tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”

² tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.

³ tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”

⁴ tn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
