Hebrews
6
13
Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,
14
saying, "Surely I will bless you greatly and multiply your descendants abundantly."
15
And so by persevering, Abraham inherited the promise.
16
For people swear by something greater than themselves, and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.
17
In the same way God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable, and so he intervened with an oath,
18
so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.
19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,
20
where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
