Context of Hebrews 10:33

31Yes, if God takes hold of you to punish you, that will make you very afraid! He is the powerful God who lives for ever. 32Remember what happened to you in those early days. When you first understood the message about Christ, you had many troubles. But you continued to be strong. Sometimes people insulted you. They made you ashamed in front of other people. Sometimes you chose to help other Christians who had trouble like that. Their troubles became your troubles. 34You were kind to Christians who were in prison. When people took away your own things, you still chose to be happy. You knew that you had something better that would belong to you for ever. 35So continue to be strong in your thoughts. If you continue to trust God, you will receive great things.
