32But remember the former days, when, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle of sufferings,

33sometimes being publicly exposed to insults and afflictions, and at other times becoming partners with those who were treated that way.

34For you also suffered together with the prisoners, and you accepted with joy the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you yourselves have a better and lasting possession.

35Therefore, do not throw away your boldness, which has a great reward,

36For you have need of endurance, so that after doing the will of God you may receive the promise.

37For yet a very little while, the one who is coming will come and will not delay.

38But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul takes no pleasure in him.

39But we are not of shrinking back to destruction, but of faith to the preservation of the soul.
