Hebrews 10:31-39
English Standard Version
31 (A)It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But recall the former days when, after (B)you were enlightened, you endured (C)a hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being (D)publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For (E)you had compassion on those in prison, and (F)you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had (G)a better possession and an abiding one. 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has (H)a great reward. 36 For (I)you have need of endurance, so that (J)when you have done the will of God you may (K)receive what is promised. 37 For,
(L)“Yet a little while,
and (M)the coming one will come and will not delay;
38 (N)but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

New International Version
Hebrews 10:31-39
New International Version
31 It is a dreadful thing(A) to fall into the hands(B) of the living God.(C)
32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(D) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(E) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(F) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(G) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(H) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(I) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(J) it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere(K) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(L) 37 For,
38 And,
“But my righteous[b] one will live by faith.(O)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[c](P)
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
