34 You helped the prisoners. You even had joy when all that you owned was taken from you, because you knew you had something better and more lasting.
35 So do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward.
36 You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what he has promised.
37 For in a very short time,“The One who is coming will comeand will not be delayed.
38 Those who are right with mewill live by faith.But if they turn back with fear,I will not be pleased with them.”
39 But we are not those who turn back and are lost. We are people who have faith and are saved.
