Hebrews 6:17-20

17 1In the sameG3739 way GodG2316, desiringG1014 evenG4053 moreG4053 to demonstrateG1925 to 2the heirsG2818 of the promiseG1860 3 4the fact that His purposeG1012 is unchangeableG276, 5confirmedG3315 it with an oathG3727,

18soG2443 thatG2443 by twoG1417 unchangeableG276 thingsG4229 in whichG3739 6it is impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574, we who have takenG2703 refugeG2703 would haveG2192 strongG2478 encouragementG3874 to holdG2902 firmlyG2902 to 7the hopeG1680 setG4295 beforeG4295 us.

19 8ThisG3739 9hope we haveG2192 as an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, a hope bothG5037 sureG804 and reliableG949 and one which 10entersG1525 11withinG2082 the veilG2665,

20 12whereG3699 JesusG2424 has enteredG1525 as a forerunnerG4274 for us, having becomeG1096 a 13highG749 priestG749 foreverG165 accordingG2596 to the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.
