Ye need nothing else, but so to stand as ye have stood, that when ye come to the end, ye may receive the promise.</p><p>\"For\" (he says) \"ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.\" Ye have need of one thing only, to bear with the delay; not that ye should fight again. Ye are at the very crown (he means); ye have borne all the combats of bonds, of afflictions; your goods have been spoiled. What then? Henceforward ye are standing to be crowned: endure this only, the delay of the crown. O the greatness of the consolation! It is as if one should speak to an athlete who had overthrown all, and had no antagonist, and then was to be crowned, and yet endured not that time, during which the president of the games comes, and places the crown upon him; and he impatient, should wish to go out, and escape as though he could not bear the thirst and the heat.<br/><i>— Homily on Hebrews 21</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: \"For you have need of endurance.\" I seek not increase, but patience, so that you may persevere in the same things.<br/>\"so that after you have done the will of God.\"The will of God is that you persevere in the same things until the end, and endure the delay of retribution and promise.<br/><i>— The Pseudo-Oecumenian Catena on Hebrews</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: The will of God is that you sincerely believe in Him and perform good deeds, and moreover, when the time demands it, you should strive even to the point of shedding blood: for such ones receive the promise.<br/><i>— The Pseudo-Oecumenian Catena on Hebrews</i></p><p><b>Photios I of Constantinople</b>: \"The will of God\" is to believe sincerely in him and to do virtuous deeds and to contend for them even to the point of blood when the time calls.
