Hebrews 10:35-39
New King James Version
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, (A)which has great reward. 36 (B)For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, (C)you may receive the promise:
37 “For (D)yet a little while,
And (E)He[a] who is coming will come and will not [b]tarry.
38 Now (F)the[c] just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those (G)who draw back to [d]perdition, but of those who (H)believe to the saving of the soul.

35 Therefore, do not throw away your (A)confidence, which has a great (B)reward. 36 For you have need of (C)endurance, so that when you have (D)done the will of God, you may (E)receive [a]what was promised.
37 (F)For yet in a very little while,
(G)He who is coming will come, and will not delay.
38 (H)But My righteous one will live by faith;
And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
39 But [b]we are not among those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith for the safekeeping of the soul.

Hebrews 10:35-39
Amplified Bible
35 Do not, therefore, fling away your [fearless] confidence, for it has a glorious and great reward. 36 For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised.
37
For yet in a very little while,
He who is coming will come, and will not delay.
38
But My righteous one [the one justified by faith] shall live by faith [respecting man’s relationship to God and trusting Him];
And if he draws back [shrinking in fear], My soul has no delight in him.(A)
39 But [a]our way is not that of those who shrink back to destruction, but [we are] of those who believe [relying on God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah] and by this confident faith preserve the soul.

35 So do not throw away your confidence;(A) it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere(B) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(C) 37 For,
38 And,
“But my righteous[b] one will live by faith.(F)
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”[c](G)
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
