Hebrews 10:35-11:3

35So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

37For, “In just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.” Isaiah 26:20; Hab. 2:3

38And, “But my righteous Some manuscripts But the righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.” Hab. 2:4 (see Septuagint) 39But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.

Faith in Action 1Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

2This is what the ancients were commended for.

3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
