16 For truly men swear by the greater: and the oath for confirmation to them the end of all controversy. 17 In which God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the firmness of his counsel, he intervened by an oath: 18 That by two unalterable deeds, in which it is impossible for God to deceive we might have a strong consolation, taking refuge in holding firmly the hope set before: 19 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, unshaken and firm, and entering into that further within the veil. 20 Where the forerunner, Jesus, went in for us, according to the order of Melchisedec, being a high priest forever.
