“Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:”
Women received their dead by resurrection; others were tortured (tychiō), not accepting release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection — the shift to martyrdom: some women received (komizo) dead children resurrected (anastasis). Others endured torture (basanizo), refusing release (apolutrōsis) to attain better resurrection. Implicit contrast: earthly resurrection versus eschatological resurrection.
