Hebrews 6:9-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that belong to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the[a] love that you showed for his sake[b] in serving the saints, as you still do.(A) 11 And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end,(B) 12 so that you may not become sluggish but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.(C)

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.
