Confidence: the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.
Compensation: repayment, reimbursement
CJB – …35,36… So don’t throw away that courage of yours, which carries with it such a great reward. For you need to hold out; so that, by having done what God wills, you may receive what he has promised.
