Hebrews 6:12-16

12so that you won’t become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.

13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself:

14I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.

15And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

16For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute.
