Hebrews 6:13-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ For when God made the promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself (because He had no greater to swear by),

¹⁴ saying, “Surely I will abundantly bless you, and multiply you marvelously.”

¹⁵ And so, after he had waited patiently, he enjoyed the promise.

¹⁶ For man indeed swears by Him Who is greater. And an oath of confirmation is an end of all strife among them.

¹⁷ So God, wanting to more abundantly show the stableness of His counsel to the heirs of promise, bound Himself by an oath.

¹⁸ So that by two immutable things (in which it is impossible for God to lie), we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to lay hold upon the hope that is set before us,

¹⁹ We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and entering in those places behind the veil

²⁰ where the forerunner, Jesus - Who was made High Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek - has entered in for us.
