35 So do not stop believing God now. Your faith will bring you much reward.

36 You must not give up believing. Then you will do what God wants you to do. Then you will get what he promised you.

37 The holy writings say In a little while, the one who is to come will come. He will not wait any longer.

38 If a person does what is right because he believes in God, he will live. If he turns back, I will not be pleased with him.

39 We are not the people who turn back and so are lost. But we are people who believe, and so we are saved.
