33In part, in being attacked by angry words and cruel acts, before the eyes of everyone, and in part, in being united with those who were attacked in this way.
34For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.
35So do not give up your hope which will be greatly rewarded.
36For, having done what was right in God's eyes, you have need of waiting before his word has effect for you.
37In a very little time he who is coming will come; he will not be slow.
38But the upright man will be living by his faith; and if he goes back, my soul will have no pleasure in him.
39But we are not of those who go back to destruction; but of those who have faith even to the salvation of the soul.
