KJV ORIGINAL
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
All these people died still believing, even though they never got to see God's promises come true in their lifetime. They could see them way off in the distance though, and they were convinced those promises were real. They held onto them tight and admitted they were just passing through this world like travelers.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes you have to believe in what you can't see yet and trust that you're just passing through to something better.
