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

¹³ For, when to Abraham God made promise, seeing he had no one greater by whom to swear, He sware, by himself, -

¹⁴ saying - Truly, if blessing I will bless thee, and, multiplying, I will multiply thee;

¹⁵ And, thus, being patient, he attained unto the promise. ¹⁶ For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath: ¹⁷ Wherein God, being, more abundantly disposed to shew forth unto the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, mediated, with an oath, - ¹⁸ In order that, through means of two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to make himself false, a mighty consolation, we might have, who have fled along to grasp, the fore-lying hope, ¹⁹ Which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into the interior of the veil: ²⁰ Where a forerunner in our behalf hath entered, even Jesus, who, according to the rank of Melchizedek, hath become, a high-priest unto times age-abiding.
