35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

37 For, "In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay." [6]

38 And, "But my righteous "one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back." [8]

39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
