Hebrews 6:13-20
Legacy Standard Bible
13 For (A)when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He (B)swore by Himself, 14 saying, “(C)I will greatly bless you and I will greatly multiply you.” 15 And so, (D)having patiently waited, he obtained the promise. 16 (E)For men swear by [a]one greater than themselves, and with them (F)an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute. 17 [b]In the same way God, desiring even more to show to (G)the heirs of the promise (H)the unchangeableness of His purpose, guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things in which (I)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of (J)the hope set before us. 19 [c]This (K)hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and confirmed and one which (L)enters [d]within the veil, 20 (M)where a forerunner has entered for us—Jesus, having become a (N)high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
