Hebrews 6:10

A Serious Warning Against Falling Away

⁹ But, beloved, even though we speak to you in this way, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and of things that accompany salvation. ¹⁰ For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. ¹¹ And we desire for each one of you to show the same diligence [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end,
