Two

As I swore in My wrath,

‘They shall not enter My rest.’”

(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him,
“The Lord has sworn
And

will not change His mind,

‘You are a priest

forever’”);

The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind,

“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

Impossible

“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent;

Has He said, and will He not do it?

Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Also the

Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind.”

May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written,

“That You may be justified in Your words,
And prevail when You

are judged.”

If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised

long ages ago,

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
