Hebrews 6:11-19
New American Standard Bible
11 And we desire that each one of you demonstrate the same diligence [a]so as to realize the (A)full assurance of (B)hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be sluggish, but (C)imitators of those who through (D)faith and endurance (E)inherit the promises.
