35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

37 “For in just a little while,
    the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 And my righteous ones will live by faith.[a]
    But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”[b]

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]
