¹⁰ God is not unjust, after all—which he would be if he forgot your work, and the love you showed for his name, and all the service you have rendered and are still rendering to his holy people. ¹¹ I want to encourage each one of you to show the same energetic enthusiasm for the task of bringing your hope to its full, assured goal. ¹² You mustn’t become lazy. There are people who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience, and you should be copying them!
