35 Therefore, do not throw away your (A)confidence, 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 [a]what was promised.

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 will live by faith;
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.

39 But [b]we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith for the safekeeping of the soul.

  1. Hebrews 10:36 Lit the promise
  2. Hebrews 10:39 Lit we are not of shrinking back...but of faith

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

“in a very little while
    the one who is coming will return—
        he will not delay;
38 but my righteous one will live by faith,
    and if he turns back,
        my soul will take no pleasure in him.”[a]

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