"Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward."
The Spirit has just reminded the readers of all they had previously gone through. With great joy, they had endured times of testing and tribulation, but now, their faith waivered under continued pressure. The encouragement then, as it is now, was to hold fast their (our) earlier confession of hope in Christ, knowing for He who promised is faithful. They went, as we do, through the testing, we stand only in Christ.
