Hebrews 10:32-39 ▼

32 But remember the past days in which, after ye had been illuminated, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

33 partly while publicly exposed to revilings and tribulations, partly as being in communion with those who were treated in this manner.

34 For ye have been fellow-sufferers with my bonds, and received with joy the plundering of your properties, knowing in yourselves that you have in the heavens a better substance, and permanent.

35 Recede not therefore from your boldness of profession, which brings a great recompence of reward.

36 For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

37 For yet a little, very little while, and he that is coming will come, and will not delay.

38 ?The just man then will live by faith;? and if he draw back, my soul shall have no delight in him.

39 But we are not of those who turn back unto perdition; but of those who believe to the salvation of the soul.
