V. 35.— Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
Cast not away...— In all their trials they had been supported by the assured hope of the joy set before them, but he that endureth to the end shall be saved; therefore, He warns them not to cast away their confidence, which would issue in a great reward. Their sufferings were not worthy to be compared with the glory which should be revealed in them, Romans 8:18. The Apostle appears to glance at what our Lord said for the support of His people under their afflictions for His sake, “ Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven.” Matthew 5:12.
