Hebrews 10:35-39
New English Translation
35 So do not throw away your confidence, because it[a] has great reward. 36 For you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised.[b] 37 For just a little longer[c] and he who is coming will arrive and not delay.[d] 38 But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I[e] take no pleasure in him.[f] 39 But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.[g]

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.
