Hebrews 10:38
KJV
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
NIV
And, “But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back.”
The KJV remains faithful to its Old Testament source material; the foundational statement “the just shall live by faith” from Habakkuk 2:4 is consistently rendered across all three of its New Testament citations (Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38).
