Hebrews 6:9-20

9But even though we speak like this, loved ones, concerning you we are convinced of better things—things coming with salvation.

10For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love that you showed for His name, in having served and continuing to serve the kedoshim.

11But we long for each of you to show the same eagerness for the certainty of hope to the very end—

12so you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those inheriting the promises through trust and perseverance.

13Now when God made His promise to Abraham—since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

14saying, “Surely I will bless you, and surely I will multiply you.”

15And so after waiting patiently, Abraham reached the promise.

16For people swear by someone greater; and the oath, as confirmation, is an end to all their disputing.

17In the same way God, determining to point out more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchanging nature of His purpose, guaranteed it with an oath.

18So by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

19We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, both firm and steady—a hope that enters the inner place behind the curtain.

20Yeshua has entered there as a forerunner on our behalf, having become Kohen Gadol “forever, according to the order of Melechizedek .”
