Hebrews 11:4

Hello B-Greekers,

    I am presently working through Hebrews 11:4 to preach tomorrow (I know, but we had VBS this week) Nonetheless, I was wondering about the EINAI following the EMARTURHQH.  While I do not think it affects exegesis much, is the infinitive functioning as a direct object?  

    I think that the DIKAIOS is a predicate nominative.  is the EINAI making this emphatic or is it just a different way of formulating the sentence?  (by the way, I skimmed Wallace and the archives before posting this - even Lane's Word commentary wasn't much help)

Thanks all,

Grace,
