Hebrews 10:32-39

32But remember the former days when you endured a harsh conflict of suffering after you were enlightened.

33At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and afflictions, and at other times you came to share with others who were treated in that way.

34For in fact you shared the sufferings of those in prison, and you accepted the confiscation of your belongings with joy, because you knew that you certainly had a better and lasting possession.

35So do not throw away your confidence, because it has great reward.

36For you need endurance in order to do God’s will and so receive what is promised.

37For just a little longer and he who is coming will arrive and not delay.

38But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him.

39But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.
