Hebrews 10:35-39
Christian Standard Bible
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.
