Hebrews 6:13-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹³ For when God promised unto Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,

¹⁴ saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee and multiplying I will multiply thee.

¹⁵ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

¹⁶ For men verily swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all controversy.

¹⁷ In which God, desiring to show more abundantly unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath,

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is 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,

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters even into that which is within the veil,

²⁰ where our precursor, Jesus, has entered for us and is made high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
