35So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

37“For in just a little while,

the Coming One will come and not delay.

38And my righteous ones will live by faith.*10:38 Or my righteous ones will live by their faithfulness; Greek reads my righteous one will live by faith.

But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”*10:37-38 Hab 2:3-4.

39But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
