but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,

so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,

(for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

By Faith

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
