Hebrews 6:13-17 For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself,

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself, ¹⁴ saying, Surely indeed, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. ¹⁵ And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men certainly swear by the greater, and of every dispute with them the oath is final for confirmation. ¹⁷ By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath.
