{Therein} (en taut(8869)). That is, "in faith," feminine
demonstrative referring to pistis. {The elders} (hoi
presbuteroi). More nearly like "the fathers," not the technical
sense of elders (officers) usual in the N.T., but more like "the
tradition of the elders" ( Mr 7:3,5  Mt 15:2 ). {Had witness
borne to them} (emartur(8874)h(8873)an). First aorist passive of
marture(935c) (cf.  7:8 ), "were testified to."
