    he who comes will come, and will not wait.
38 But the righteous will live by faith.
    If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”Habakkuk 2:3-4

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, in order that after you[a] have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. 37 For yet

“a very, very little while,
    and the one who is coming will come and will not delay.
38 But my righteous one will live by faith,
    and if he shrinks back, my soul is not well pleased with him.”[b]
