BLB(i)
10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and the love that you have shown toward His name, having ministered to the saints, and still ministering.
11 And we desire each of you to show the same earnestness, toward the full assurance of the hope unto the end,
12 so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those inheriting the promises through faith and patience.
13 For God, having made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, swore by Himself,
14 saying, “Surely if blessing, I will bless you; and multiplying, I will multiply you.”
15 And thus having waited patiently, he obtained the promise.
16 For men swear by one greater, and an end of all their disputes, for confirmation, is the oath,
17 in which God, desiring to show more abundantly the unchangeableness of His purpose to the heirs of the promise, guaranteed it by an oath,
18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge, to take hold of the hope being set before us,
19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and unshakable and entering into that within the veil,
