God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.

διοτι ο Θεος προεβλεψε καλυτερον τι περι ημων, δια να μη λαβωσι την τελειοτητα χωρις ημων.

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
