The tone in vv. 9-12 shifts from strong warning to reassurance as the author turns to address his congregation directly (in your case- v. 9; your work- v. 10; each of you- v. 11). The statements of confidence in vv. 9 and 11 ( Πεπείσμεθα ... ἐπιθυμοῦμεν) are grounded by v. 10 (as a BL), as the author recalls the good work and love of the congregation evidenced by service of the saints past and present. The author's purpose in his previous warning and present reassurance is given in the purpose clause of v. 12. He desires the church to exhibit full assurance of hope unto the end (v. 11b), "so that ( ἵνα ) you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."

Πεπείσμεθα δὲ περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀγαπητοί, τὰ κρείσσονα καὶ ἐχόμενα σωτηρίας,
However, in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things-- things that belong to salvation,

even if we speak in this way,

οὐ γὰρ ἄδικος ὁ θεὸς ἐπιλαθέσθαι τοῦ ἔργου ὑμῶν καὶ τῆς ἀγάπης ἧς ἐνεδείξασθε εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,
For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name
διακονήσαντες τοῖς ἁγίοις
by having served the saints,
