Hebrews 10:36

For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.

He encourages them to patience in the short time of this mortal life. (Witham)

John Chrysostom

AD 407
Hebrews 10:36 For (he says) you have need of patience, that after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. You have need of one thing only, to bear with the delay; not that you should fight again. You are at the very crown (he means); you have borne all the combats of bonds, of afflictions; your goods have been spoiled. What then? Henceforward you 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.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
