Hebrews 10:32-39 ▼

32 But call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, you endured much conflict of sufferings;

33 this indeed, being made spectacles with both insults and afflictions, now this, having become partners of those so living,

34 for you also sympathized with my bonds, and the robbery of your goods you received with joy, knowing that you have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.

35 You may not cast away, then, your boldness, which has great repayment of reward,

36 for you have need of patience, that having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

37 “For yet [in] a very, very little [while], He who is coming will come, and will not linger,”

38 but, “The righteous will live by faith; and if he may draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”

39 But we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
