Hebrews 6:9-12
New American Standard Bible
Better Things for You
9 But, (A)beloved, we are convinced of better things regarding you, and things that [a]accompany salvation, even though we are speaking in this way. 10 For (B)God is not unjust so as to forget (C)your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, by having (D)served and by still serving the [b]saints. 11 And we desire that each one of you demonstrate the same diligence [c]so as to realize the (E)full assurance of (F)hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be sluggish, but (G)imitators of those who through (H)faith and endurance (I)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.
