35 Therefore, do not throw away that (A)confidence of yours, which has a great (B)reward. 36 For you have need of (C)endurance, so that when you have (D)done the will of God, you may (E)receive the promise.
37 (F)For yet in a very little while,
(G)He who is coming will come, and will not delay.
38 (H)But My righteous one shall live by faith,
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
39 But [a]we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the [b]preserving of the soul.
