Hebrews 6:13-19

13For 1when GodG2316 madeG1861 the promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, sinceG1893 He couldG2192 swearG3660 by noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173, He 2sworeG3660 by HimselfG1438,

14sayingG3004, “3I will surelyG3375 G2127 blessG2127 you and I will surelyG4129 multiplyG4129 you.”

15And soG3779, 4having patientlyG3114 waitedG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860.

16 5For menG444 swearG3660 by 6oneG3173 greaterG3173 than themselves, and with them 7an oathG3727 given as confirmationG951 is an endG4009 of everyG3956 disputeG485.

17 8In the sameG3739 way GodG2316, desiringG1014 evenG4053 moreG4053 to showG1925 to 9the heirsG2818 of the promiseG1860 10the unchangeablenessG276 of His purposeG1012, 11interposedG3315 with an oathG3727,

18soG2443 that by twoG1417 unchangeableG276 thingsG4229 in whichG3739 12it is impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we who have 13takenG2703 refugeG2703 would haveG2192 strongG2478 encouragementG3874 to takeG2902 holdG2902 of 14the hopeG1680 setG4295 beforeG4295 us.

19 15ThisG3739 16hope we haveG2192 as an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, a hope bothG5037 sureG804 and steadfastG949 and one which 17entersG1525 18withinG2082 the veilG2665,
