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
New English Translation
9 But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints. 11 But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish,[a] but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.
