Hebrews 10:32-39

International Standard Version

³² But you must continue to remember those earlier days, how after you were enlightened you endured a hard and painful struggle. ³³ At times you were made a public spectacle by means of insults and persecutions, while at other times you associated with people who were treated this way. ³⁴ For you sympathized^[a] with the prisoners and cheerfully submitted to the violent seizure of your property, because you know that you have a better and more permanent possession.

³⁵ So don’t lose your confidence, since it holds a great reward for you. ³⁶ For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will you can receive what he has promised. ³⁷ For

³⁹ Now, we do not belong to those who turn back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
