35 So don’t throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.(A) 36 For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.(B)

37 For yet in a very little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 But my righteous one[a] will live by faith;
and if he draws back,
I have no pleasure[b] in him.[c](C)

39 But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, in order that after you[a] have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 37 For yet

“a very, very little while,
    and the one who is coming will come and will not delay.
38 But my righteous one will live by faith,
    and if he shrinks back, my soul is not well pleased with him.”[b]

39 But we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but among those who have faith to the preservation of our souls.
