So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, 

   "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 

    But my righteous one will live by faith. 

    And if he shrinks back, 

    I will not be pleased with him."

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

-Hebrews 10:35-39
