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, (A)he swore by himself, 14 saying, (B)“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham,[a] (C)having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes (D)an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to (E)the heirs of the promise (F)the unchangeable character of his purpose, (G)he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which (H)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope (I)set before us.

(A)“The Deliverer will come (B)from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my (C)covenant with them
(D)when I take away their sins.”
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are (E)beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and (F)the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as (G)you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now[a] receive mercy.
