³²Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.#10:32 Greek when you were first enlightened. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. ³³Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. ³⁴You 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. ³⁵So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! ³⁶Patient 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. ³⁸And my righteous ones will live by faith.#10:38 Or my righteous ones will live by their faithfulness; Greek reads my righteous one will live by faith.But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”#10:37-38 Hab 2:3-4. ³⁹But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
