33. on the one hand ye were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and on the other ye became companions of those that were so used.
34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing that in yourselves ye have a better substance in the heavens, and that abides.
35. Do not lose, therefore, this your confidence, which has great recompense of reward;
36. for patience is necessary, so that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.
38. Now the just shall live by faith, but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39. But we are not of those who draw back unto perdition, but faithful unto the saving of the soul.
