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

¹³ For when God made the promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself, saying,

¹⁴ "Verily blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."

¹⁵ And thus waiting patiently he obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men swear by a greater Being, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all controversy. ¹⁷ Wherefore God being willing more abundantly to manifest unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it with an oath: ¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to fail, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us; ¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul safe and stedfast, and which entereth within the veil. ²⁰ Whither Jesus our fore-runner is entered for us, being made an high-priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.
