Hebrews:6:12-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That ye be not slothful ,
but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises .
*
For when God made promise to Abraham ,
because he could swear by no greater ,
he sware by himself ,
*
Saying ,
Surely blessing I will bless thee ,
and multiplying I will multiply thee .
*
And so ,
after he had patiently endured ,
he obtained the promise .
*
For men verily swear by the greater :
and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife .
*
Wherein God ,
willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel ,
confirmed it by an oath :
*
That by two immutable things ,
in which it was impossible for God to lie ,
we might have a strong consolation ,
who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us :
*
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul ,
both sure and stedfast ,
and which entereth into that within the veil ;
