Hebrews 10:35-39
New King James Version
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (A)which has great reward. 36 (B)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, (C)you may receive the promise:
37 “For (D)yet a little while,
And (E)He[a] who is coming will come and will not [b]tarry.
38 Now (F)the[c] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those (G)who draw back to [d]perdition, but of those who (H)believe to the saving of the soul.

35 Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. 36 For ye have need of [a]patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
37 [b]For yet a very little while,
He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
38 But [c]my righteous one shall live by faith:
And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not [d]of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the [e]saving of the soul.
