35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has (A)a great reward. 36 For (B)you have need of endurance, so that (C)when you have done the will of God you may (D)receive what is promised. 37 For,

(E)“Yet a little while,
    and (F)the coming one will come and will not delay;
38 (G)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.

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.
