10:37,28
The writer quotes from Is 26:20 and Hab 2:3. Hab 2 was a favourite passage of Paul. The book of Habakkuk encourages us to keep on going when all seems lost, and demonstrates that God has not given up, and so we must not give up on God. The righteous will live by faith (Hab 2:4), this is Paul’s favourite verse. Here it is used in the context of keeping on keeping on. And “I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back”.
10:39
The writer is saying these things because he does not believe that his readers will shrink back. He is writing to them in order to encourage them to keep on keeping on. But note that the consequences of shrinking back are very severe, destruction. The consequence of persisting in faith are that we will be saved.
