Hebrews 6:11–20

¹¹and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end, ¹²that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises. ¹³For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself, ¹⁴saying, ‘Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;’ ¹⁵and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise; ¹⁶for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation is the oath, ¹⁷in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath, ¹⁸that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us, ¹⁹which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail, ²⁰whither a forerunner for us did enter—Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become—to the age.
