Hebrews 6:9-12
Legacy Standard Bible
The Inheritance of the Promises
9 But we are convinced about you, (A)beloved, of things that are better and that belong to salvation, though we are speaking in this way. 10 For (B)God is not unrighteous so as to forget (C)your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having (D)ministered and continuing to minister to the [a]saints. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence [b]so as to realize the (E)full assurance of (F)hope until the end, 12 so that you may not become dull, but (G)imitators of those who through (H)faith and patience (I)inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:9-12
New Living Translation
9 Dear friends, even though we are talking this way, we really don’t believe it applies to you. We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation. 10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers,[a] as you still do. 11 Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. 12 Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.
