God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, (B)He swore by Himself, 14 saying, (C)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the (D)promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and (E)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (F)the heirs of promise (G)the [b]immutability of His counsel, [c]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [d]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (H)lie, we [e]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (I)set before us.

32 And we declare to you glad tidings—(A)that promise which was made to the fathers. 33 God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:

(B)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’

34 And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to [a]corruption, He has spoken thus:

(C)‘I will give you the sure [b]mercies of David.’

35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm:

(D)‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’

36 “For David, after he had served [c]his own generation by the will of God, (E)fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and [d]saw corruption; 37 but He whom God raised up [e]saw no corruption. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that (F)through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39 and (G)by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
