Hebrews 6:11-18

11And we desireG1937 that eachG1538 oneG1538 of you showG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 1soG4314 as to realize the 2fullG4136 assuranceG4136 of 3hopeG1680 untilG891 the endG5056, 12soG2443 that you will not be sluggishG3576, but 4imitatorsG3402 of thoseG3588 who throughG1223 5faithG4102 and patienceG3115 6inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.

13For 7when GodG2316 madeG1861 the promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, sinceG1893 He couldG2192 swearG3660 by noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173, He 8sworeG3660 by HimselfG1438, 14sayingG3004, “9I will surelyG3375G2127 blessG2127 you and I will surelyG4129 multiplyG4129 you.” 15And soG3779, 10having patientlyG3114 waitedG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860. 1611For menG444 swearG3660 by 12oneG3173 greaterG3173 than themselves, and with them 13an oathG3727 given as confirmationG951 is an endG4009 of everyG3956 disputeG485. 1714In the sameG3739 way GodG2316, desiringG1014 evenG4053 moreG4053 to showG1925 to 15the heirsG2818 of the promiseG1860 16the unchangeablenessG276 of His purposeG1012, 17interposedG3315 with an oathG3727, 18soG2443 that by twoG1417 unchangeableG276 thingsG4229 in whichG3739 18it is impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we who have 19takenG2703 refugeG2703 would haveG2192 strongG2478 encouragementG3874 to takeG2902 holdG2902 of 20the hopeG1680 setG4295 beforeG4295 us.
