Hebrews 6:17-20
171In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to 2the heirs of the promise 34the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, 5confirmed it with an oath,
18so that by two unchangeable things in which 6it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to 7the hope set before us.
198This 9hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which 10enters 11within the veil,
2012where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a 13high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
