Hebrews 6:11-20

New King James Version

¹¹ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ^(A)to the full assurance of hope until the end, ¹² that you do not become ^[a]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience ^(B)inherit the promises.

God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

¹³ For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, ^(C)He swore by Himself, ¹⁴ saying, ^(D)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” ¹⁵ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the ^(E)promise. ¹⁶ For men indeed swear by the greater, and ^(F)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. ¹⁷ Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to ^(G)the heirs of promise ^(H)the ^[b]immutability of His counsel, ^[c]confirmed it by an oath, ¹⁸ that by two ^[d]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to ^(I)lie, we ^[e]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope ^(J)set before us.

¹⁹ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, ^(K)and which enters the Presence behind the veil, ^20 (L)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, ^(M)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
