Hebrews 10:36
Compare all
34 for you had compassion on1 me ain my chains, and bjoyfully accepted the plundering of your2 goods, knowing that cyou have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves3 in heaven.  
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, awhich has great reward.  
36 aFor you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, byou may receive the promise: 
37 “For ayet a little while,
And bHe who is coming will come and will not2 tarry. 
38 Now athe just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”  
39 But we are not of those awho draw back to perdition, but of those who bbelieve to the saving of the soul.

Hebrews 10:35-37

Consequent exhortation to confidence and endurance, as Christ is soon coming.

Cast not away—implying that they now have "confidence," and that it will not withdraw of itself, unless they "cast it away" wilfully (compare Hebrews 3:14).

which—Greek, "the which": inasmuch as being such as.

hath—present tense: it is as certain as if you had it in your hand (Hebrews 10:37). It hath in reversion.

recompense of reward—of grace not of debt: a reward of a kind which no mercenary self-seeker would seek: holiness will be its own reward; self-devoting unselfishness for Christ's sake will be its own rich recompense (see on Hebrews 2:2; Hebrews 11:26).
