32 Remember those Earlier Days
After you had Received the Light,
When you endured
IN A GREAT CONFLICT FULL OF SUFFERING,
33 Sometimes you were Publicly Exposed
To Insult and Persecution,
At other times you Stood Side by Side
With those who were so Treated.
24 You Suffered along with those
In Prison and Joyfully Accepted the Confiscation
Of your Property,
Because you knew that you yourselves
Had better and Lasting Possessions.
35 So do not Throw Away your Confidence,
It will be Richly Rewarded.
36 You need to Persevere
So that when you have Done the Will of God,
You will Receive what He has Promised.
37 For, “in just a little while,
He Who is Coming will Come
And will not Delay.”
38 And, “But My Righteousness One
Will live by Faith,
And I take No Pleasure
In the One who Shrinks Back.”
39 But we do not Belong
To those who Shrink Back
And are Destroyed,
But to those who have Faith
And are Saved.
(Hebrews 10:32-39, NIV)
