The "confidence" refers to the boldness and assurance believers have in their relationship with God through Jesus Christ. In the context of Hebrews, this confidence is rooted in the new covenant established by Christ's sacrifice (<a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-22</a>). Historically, the early Christian community faced persecution and social ostracism, which could tempt them to abandon their faith. The exhortation not to "throw away" this confidence suggests a deliberate action, emphasizing the importance of maintaining steadfastness. This echoes the call to perseverance found in <a href="/hebrews/3-6.htm">Hebrews 3:6 and 4</a>:14, where believers are urged to hold firmly to their confidence and hope.<p><b>it holds a great reward.</b><br>The "great reward" is the promise of eternal life and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. This reward is not merely future-oriented but also includes the present experience of God's presence and peace. The concept of reward is consistent with other New Testament teachings, such as in <a href="/matthew/5-12.htm">Matthew 5:12</a> and <a href="/2_timothy/4-8.htm">2 Timothy 4:8</a>, where believers are encouraged to look forward to the heavenly reward. Theologically, this reward is tied to the faithfulness of God, who honors those who diligently seek Him (<a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a>). The assurance of reward serves as motivation for believers to endure trials and remain faithful, reflecting the eschatological hope that is central to Christian belief.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_author_of_hebrews.htm">The Author of Hebrews</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to Paul, though the exact authorship is uncertain.

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 <a href="/hebrews/2-2.htm" title="For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;">Hebrews 2:2</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hebrews/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 35, 36.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

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.

It is not said of Abraham (<a href="/hebrews/6-15.htm">Hebrews 6:15</a>) that he <span class="greek">ἐκομίσατο</span>, only that he <span class="greek">ἐπέτυχε</span>. So also of all the faithful of old described in the following chapter (<a href="/hebrews/11-39.htm">Hebrews 11:39</a>).
