Hebrews 6:9-20
9But, 1belovedG27, we are convincedG3982 of betterG2909 thingsG2909 concerningG4012 you, and things that 2accompanyG2192 salvationG4991, thoughG1487G2532 we are speakingG2980 in thisG3779 wayG3779. 10For 3GodG2316 is not unjustG94 so as to forgetG1950 4your workG2041 and the loveG26 whichG3739 you have shownG1731 towardG1519 His nameG3686, in having 5ministeredG1247 and in still ministeringG1247 to the 6saintsG40. 11And we desireG1937 that eachG1538 oneG1538 of you showG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 7soG4314 as to realize the 8fullG4136 assuranceG4136 of 9hopeG1680 untilG891 the endG5056, 12soG2443 that you will not be sluggishG3576, but 10imitatorsG3402 of thoseG3588 who throughG1223 11faithG4102 and patienceG3115 12inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
13For 13when GodG2316 madeG1861 the promiseG1861 to AbrahamG11, sinceG1893 He couldG2192 swearG3660 by noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173, He 14sworeG3660 by HimselfG1438, 14sayingG3004, “15I will surelyG3375G2127 blessG2127 you and I will surelyG4129 multiplyG4129 you.” 15And soG3779, 16having patientlyG3114 waitedG3114, he obtainedG2013 the promiseG1860. 1617For menG444 swearG3660 by 18oneG3173 greaterG3173 than themselves, and with them 19an oathG3727 given as confirmationG951 is an endG4009 of everyG3956 disputeG485. 1720In the sameG3739 way GodG2316, desiringG1014 evenG4053 moreG4053 to showG1925 to 21the heirsG2818 of the promiseG1860 22the unchangeablenessG276 of His purposeG1012, 23interposedG3315 with an oathG3727, 18soG2443 that by twoG1417 unchangeableG276 thingsG4229 in whichG3739 24it is impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we who have 25takenG2703 refugeG2703 would haveG2192 strongG2478 encouragementG3874 to takeG2902 holdG2902 of 26the hopeG1680 setG4295 beforeG4295 us. 1927ThisG3739 28hope we haveG2192 as an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, a hope bothG5037 sureG804 and steadfastG949 and one which 29entersG1525 30withinG2082 the veilG2665, 2031whereG3699 JesusG2424 has enteredG1525 as a forerunnerG4274 for us, having becomeG1096 a 32highG749 priestG749 foreverG165 accordingG2596 to the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.
