Hebrews 10: 32 - 39
|
| 32
|
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,
|
| 33
|
sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.
|
| 34
|
For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.
|
| 35
|
Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
|
| 36
|
For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.
|
| 37
|
"For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;
|
| 38
|
but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."
|
| 39
|
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.
