35 Therefore do not cast from you your confident hope, for it will receive a vast reward.

36 For you stand in need of patient endurance, so that, as the result of having done the will of God, you may receive the promised blessing.

37 For there is still but a short time and then »The coming One will come and will not delay.

38 But it is by faith that My righteous servant shall live; and if he shrinks back, My soul takes no pleasure in him.«

39 But we are not people who shrink back and perish, but are among those who believe and gain possession of their souls.
