¹⁸ 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:

² In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

¹⁹ God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

¹³ If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

²⁹ And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
