Hebrews 6:13-20 ▼

13 For God, having made promise to Abraham, seeing He was not able to swear by [any] greater, swore by Himself,

14 saying, “Blessing I will indeed bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you”;

15 and so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise;

16 for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,

17 in which God, more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed by an oath,

18 that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong comfort, having fled for refuge, to lay hold on the hope being set before [us],

19 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into that within the veil,

20 to where a forerunner entered for us—Jesus, having become Chief Priest throughout the age after the order of Melchizedek.
