Hebrews 6:12

A Serious Warning Against Falling Away

¹¹ But our great desire is that every one of you should be equally earnest to attain to a full conviction that our hope will be fulfilled, and that you should keep that hope to the end. ¹² Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God's promises. ¹³ When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
