Hebrews 6:12-15

Lamsa(i) 12 And that you be not slothful, but be followers of those who through faith and patience have become heirs of the promise. 13 For when God made a promise to AÆbraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself, 14 Saying, Blessing, I will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply you. 15 And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.
