^{32 Ref} And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,

^{33 Ref} partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,

^{34 Ref} for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.

^{35 Ref} Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

^{36 Ref} for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,

^{37 Ref} for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;

^{38 Ref} and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

^{39 Ref} and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
