Hebrews 6:9-15

English Standard Version

⁹ Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. ¹⁰ For ^(A)God is not unjust so as to overlook ^(B)your work and the love that you have shown for his name in ^(C)serving the saints, as you still do. ¹¹ And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance ^(D)of hope until the end, ¹² so that you may not be sluggish, but ^(E)imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

The Certainty of God's Promise

¹³ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, ^(F)he swore by himself, ¹⁴ saying, ^(G)“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” ¹⁵ And thus Abraham,^{[a] (H)}having patiently waited, obtained the promise.
