A.T. Robertson Commentary Hebrews 10:36

"For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise." — Hebrews 10:36 (ASV)

Which (ητις). Your boldness of verse 35.

Recompense of reward (μισθαποδοσιαν). Late double compound, like μισθαποδοτης (Hebrews 11:6), from μισθος (reward, wages) and αποδιδωμ, to give back, to pay (repay). In N.T. only here, 2:2; 11:26.

Of patience (υπομονης). Old word for remaining under trial (Luke 8:15). This was the call of the hour then as now.

Having done the will of God (το θελημα του θεου). This is an essential prerequisite to the exercise of patience and to obtain the promised blessing. There is no promise to those who patiently keep on doing wrong.

That ye may receive the promise (ινα κομισησθε την επαγγελιαν) Purpose clause with ινα and the first aorist middle subjunctive of κομιζω, old verb to carry (Luke 7:37), in the middle to get back one's own (Matthew 25:27), to receive. See also 11:39. Now the author is ready to develop this great idea of receiving the promise in Christ.
