What Does Hebrews 10:35 Mean?
Having recalled their past courage, the writer presses the lesson home: do not cast away that confidence now. The boldness that carried them through earlier trials is too precious to discard when fresh hardship comes.
This confidence carries a great recompence of reward; it is not spent in vain. To hold fast is not to grit one's teeth in mere stubbornness but to keep one's grip on a hope that God Himself will honor. The temptation under pressure is to let go; the call of faith is to hold on. What looks like loss in the moment is, for the steadfast, the path to a reward that far outweighs the cost.
Hebrews 10:35 in the Original Language
