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

¹³ For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying.

¹⁴ Surely I will bless you, and bless you; I will increase you, and increase you.

¹⁵ And so by patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the promise. ¹⁶ I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. ¹⁷ On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath; ¹⁸ that by means of two immutable things??is promise and his oath??n which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us. ¹⁹ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil; ²⁰ whither Jesus himself is entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.
