34 You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

    the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 And my righteous ones will live by faith.[a]
    But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”[b]
