New Testament

Hebrews 6:14-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

14. saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.”

15. And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

16. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.

18. so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
