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.

Barnes' Notes
<< Hebrews 10:35   Hebrews 10:37 >>


Hebrews 10:36

For ye have need of patience - They were then suffering, and in all trials we have need of patience. We have need of it because there is in us so much disposition to complain and repine; because our nature is liable to sink under sufferings; and because our trials are often protracted. All that Christians can do in such cases is to be patient - to lie calmly in the hands of God, and submit to his will day by day, and year by year; see James 1:3-4; notes, Romans 5:4.

That after ye have done the will of God - That is, in bearing trials, for the reference here is particularly to afflictions.

d Ye might receive the promise - The promised inheritance or reward - in heaven. It is implied here that this promise will not be received unless we are patient in our trials, and the prospect of this reward should encourage us to endure them.
