Hebrews 10:37-39
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
37 “For, after just a brief moment,[a]
he who is to come shall come;
he shall not delay.(A)
38 But my just one shall live by faith,
and if he draws back I take no pleasure in him.”(B)
39 We are not among those who draw back and perish, but among those who have faith and will possess life.

- 10:37–38 In support of his argument, the author uses Hb 2:3–4 in a wording almost identical with the text of the Codex Alexandrinus of the Septuagint but with the first and second lines of Hb 10:4 inverted. He introduces it with a few words from Is 26:20: after just a brief moment. Note the Pauline usage of Hb 2:4 in Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11.
