Heb 10:32-39

32Remember the days past when, after you had been enlightened,^* you endured a great contest of suffering.^y 33At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and affliction; at other times you associated yourselves with those so treated.^z 34You even joined in the sufferings of those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you had a better and lasting possession.^a 35Therefore, do not throw away your confidence; it will have great recompense.^b 36You need endurance to do the will of God and receive what he has promised.^c

37“For, after just a brief moment,^*

he who is to come shall come;

he shall not delay.^d

38But my just one shall live by faith,

and if he draws back I take no pleasure in him.”^e

39We are not among those who draw back and perish, but among those who have faith and will possess life.
