but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end;

that by two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,

(for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.

Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he is faithful who has promised;)
