Hebrews 6:11-15

11Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.

12Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.

13For example, there was God’s promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying:

14“I will certainly bless you, and I will multiply your descendants beyond number.”

15Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.
