35 Keep on being brave! It will bring you great rewards. 36 Learn to be patient, so you will please God and be given what he has promised. 37 *As the Scriptures say,

"God is coming soon!

It won't be very long.

38 The people God accepts

will live because

of their faith.*

But he isn't pleased

with anyone

who turns back."

39 We are not like those people who turn back and get destroyed. We will keep on having faith until we are saved.
