10 For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints.
11 And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end:
12 and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise.
13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself;
14 and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.
16 For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath.
17 Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath;
18 so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;
19 which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil,
