37 As the prophet Habakkuk said,

In a little while, only a little longer,
    the One who is coming will come without delay.
38 But My righteous one must live by faith,
    for if he gives up his commitment,
My soul will have no pleasure in him.[a]

39 My friends, we are not those who give up hope and so are lost; but we are of the company who live by faith and so are saved.

37 For,

“In just a little while,
    he who is coming(A) will come
    and will not delay.”[a](B)

38 And,

“But my righteous[b] one will live by faith.(C)
    And I take no pleasure
    in the one who shrinks back.”[c](D)

39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
