Hebrews 10:35-11:6

New King James Version

³⁵Therefore do not cast away your confidence, ^(A)which has great reward. ³⁶^(B)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, ^(C)you may receive the promise:

³⁷“For ^(D)yet a little while,
And ^(E)He^[a] who is coming will come and will not ^[b]tarry.
³⁸Now ^(F)the^[c] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”

³⁹But we are not of those ^(G)who draw back to ^[d]perdition, but of those who ^(H)believe to the saving of the soul.

By Faith We Understand

11 Now faith is the ^[e]substance of things hoped for, the ^[f]evidence ^(I)of things not seen. ²For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

³By faith we understand that ^(J)the ^[g]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Faith at the Dawn of History^(K)

⁴By faith ^(L)Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still ^(M)speaks.

⁵By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, ^(N)“and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
