Hebrews:6:13-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For when God made promise (
5666 )
to Abraham ,
because he could (
5707 )
swear (
5658 )
by no greater ,
he sware (
5656 )
by himself ,
*
Saying (
5723 ),
Surely blessing (
5723 )
I will bless (
5692 )
thee ,
and multiplying (
5723 )
I will multiply (
5692 )
thee .
*
And so ,
after he had patiently endured (
5660 ),
he obtained (
5627 )
the promise .
*
For men verily swear (
5719 )
by the greater :
and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife .
*
Wherein God ,
willing (
5740 )
more abundantly to shew (
5658 )
unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel ,
confirmed (
5656 )
it by an oath :
*
That by two immutable things ,
in which it was impossible for God to lie (
5664 ),
we might have (
5725 )
a strong consolation ,
who have fled for refuge (
5631 )
to lay hold (
5658 )
upon the hope set before us (
5740 ):
