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]

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
35 Do not, therefore, abandon that boldness of yours; it brings a great reward. 36 For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what was promised.(A) 37 For yet
“in a very little while,
the one who is coming will come and will not delay,(B)
38 but my righteous one will live by faith.
My soul takes no pleasure in anyone who shrinks back.”(C)
39 But we are not among those who shrink back and so are lost but among those who have faith and so preserve our souls.(D)
