32 But call to
remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of
afflictions;

33 Partly, whilst ye were
made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions
of them that were so used.

34 For ye had compassion
of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye
have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

35 Cast not away
therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

36 For ye have need of
patience, 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 draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 But we are not of them
who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

(Hebrews 10:32-39, King James Version)
