Hebrews 6:13-20 - The Reliability Of God's Promise

13 For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself,

14 saying, Surely indeed, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men certainly swear by the greater, and of every dispute with them the oath is final for confirmation. 17 By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath. 18 So that by two immutable events, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge to seize the hope being openly displayed. 19 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and that enters into the interior of the veil, 20 where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
