Hebrews 10:39

---

← Hebrews 10:38	Hebrews 10:39 (KJV)	Hebrews 11:1 →
Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.	But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.	Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
