14. for ever has taken away sins.
19. An exhortation to hold fast the faith with patience and thanksgiving.














So
The word "so" serves as a conjunction, linking the preceding thoughts with the exhortation that follows. In the context of Hebrews 10, the author has been discussing the superiority of Christ's sacrifice and the call to persevere in faith. This conjunction indicates a conclusion or a result based on the previous arguments. It is a reminder that the encouragement to hold fast is not in isolation but is deeply rooted in the theological truths previously established.

do not throw away
The phrase "do not throw away" is a strong admonition against discarding something of great value. In the original Greek, the word "throw away" (ἀποβάλλω, apoballō) implies a deliberate action of casting aside or rejecting. Historically, this reflects the early Christian community's struggle with persecution and the temptation to abandon their faith. The exhortation is to hold onto their faith with tenacity, recognizing its intrinsic worth.

your confidence
"Confidence" (παρρησία, parrēsia) in this context refers to boldness and assurance in one's faith and relationship with God. This term is often used in the New Testament to describe the freedom and boldness believers have in approaching God, especially in prayer and worship. The historical backdrop of this letter includes Jewish Christians who were tempted to revert to old covenant practices. The author encourages them to maintain their confidence in the new covenant established through Christ.

it holds
The phrase "it holds" suggests possession and assurance. The Greek word used here (ἔχω, echō) implies having or possessing something securely. This reflects the certainty and reliability of the promise associated with maintaining one's confidence. The assurance is not based on human effort but on the faithfulness of God who promises.

a great reward
The "great reward" (μισθαποδοσία, misthapodosia) refers to the divine recompense or reward that awaits those who persevere in faith. In the scriptural context, this reward is both present and future, encompassing the peace and joy found in a relationship with Christ now, and the eternal life promised in the hereafter. Historically, this would have been a powerful encouragement to the original audience facing trials, reminding them that their present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed (Romans 8:18).

(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence.--Rather, Cast not away therefore your boldness, seeing it hath a great recompence. To "cast away boldness" is the opposite of "holding fast the boldness of the hope" (Hebrews 3:6); the one belongs to the endurance of the faithful servant (Hebrews 10:32; Hebrews 10:36), the other to the cowardice of the man who draws back (Hebrews 10:38). This verse and the next are closely connected: Hold fast your boldness, seeing that to it belongs great reward; hold it fast, for "he that endureth to the end shall be saved." On the last word, "recompence," see Hebrews 2:2.

Verses 35, 36. - Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience (or, endurance), that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise; or, doing the will of God, ye may receive, etc. The aorist participle ποιήσαντες does not of necessity express priority to the receiving (cf. Hebrews 6:15, μακροθυμήσας ἐπέτυχε). The meaning is that by endurance in doing the will they would receive. The full and final enjoyment of what is promised is still future and conditioned by perseverance. Observe the difference between the words κομίζεσθαι, here used, and ἐποτυγχάνειν, used in Hebrews 6:15. The former (occ. Hebrews 11:19, 39; also 2 Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 6:8; Colossians 3:25; and 1 Peter 1:9) means the actual reception of what is denoted, equivalent to sibi acquirere; the latter (etc. Hebrews 6:15; Hebrews 11:33; also Romans 11:7; James 4:2) means only "to attain to," without involving full possession. It is not said of Abraham (Hebrews 6:15) that he ἐκομίσατο, only that he ἐπέτυχε. So also of all the faithful of old described in the following chapter (Hebrews 11:39). And even to believing Christians, as this verse shows, the κομίζεσθαι is still future and contingent.
