32 Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.[a] Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. 33 Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. 34 You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

35 So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36 Patient 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.
38 And my righteous ones will live by faith.[b]
    But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”[c]

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

32 Acuérdense de los primeros tiempos, cuando recién aprendían acerca de Cristo.[a] Recuerden cómo permanecieron fieles aunque tuvieron que soportar terrible sufrimiento. 33 Algunas veces los ponían en ridículo públicamente y los golpeaban, otras veces ustedes ayudaban a los que pasaban por lo mismo. 34 Sufrieron junto con los que fueron metidos en la cárcel y, cuando a ustedes les quitaron todos sus bienes, lo aceptaron con alegría. Sabían que en el futuro les esperaban cosas mejores, que durarán para siempre.

35 Por lo tanto, no desechen la firme confianza que tienen en el Señor. ¡Tengan presente la gran recompensa que les traerá! 36 Perseverar con paciencia es lo que necesitan ahora para seguir haciendo la voluntad de Dios. Entonces recibirán todo lo que él ha prometido.

37 «Pues, dentro de muy poco tiempo,
    Aquel que viene vendrá sin demorarse.
38 Mis justos vivirán por la fe.[b]
    Pero no me complaceré con nadie que se aleje»[c].

39 Pero nosotros no somos de los que se apartan de Dios hacia su propia destrucción. Somos los fieles, y nuestras almas serán salvas.

32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,(A) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.(B) 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;(C) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.(D) 34 You suffered along with those in prison(E) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.(F) 35 So do not throw away your confidence;(G) it will be richly rewarded.

36 You need to persevere(H) so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.(I) 37 For,

“In just a little while,
    he who is coming(J) will come
    and will not delay.”[a](K)

38 And,

“But my righteous[b] one will live by faith.(L)
    And I take no pleasure
    in the one who shrinks back.”[c](M)

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

  3. Hebrews 10:38 Hab. 2:4 (see Septuagint)

32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
