Hebrews

Hebrews 10:32–39

³²Remember the early days that you were in the light.^h In those days, you endured a great conflict in the face of suffering. ³³Sometimes you were publicly exposed to ridicule and persecution; at other times you were partners with those who were so treated. ³⁴You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you yourselves had a better and permanent possession.

³⁵So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward. ³⁶You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. ³⁷For,

“In just a little while,

He who is coming will come and will not delay.

³⁸But My righteous one will live by faith;ⁱ

and if he shrinks back,

I will take no pleasure in him.”^j

³⁹But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
