Hebrews 6:9-12
English Standard Version
9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 10 For (A)God is not unjust so as to overlook (B)your work and the love that you have shown for his name in (C)serving the saints, as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance (D)of hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish, but (E)imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:9-12
International Standard Version
Be Diligent
9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case, things that point to salvation. 10 For God is not so unjust as to forget your work and the love you have shown him[a] as you have ministered to the saints and continue to minister to them. 11 But we want each of you to continue to be diligent to the very end, in order to give full assurance to your hope. 12 Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.
