Hebrews 6:11-15

11And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,

12so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

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

14saying, "Surely I will bless you and multiply you."

15And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.
