¹¹ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ^(A)to the full assurance of hope until the end, ¹² that you do not become ^[a]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience ^(B)inherit the promises.

¹⁹ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, ^(A)and which enters the Presence behind the veil, ^20 (B)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, ^(C)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for ^(A)He who promised is faithful.

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:

Renew Your Spiritual Vitality^(A)

¹² Therefore ^(B)strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
