15. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16. For men verily swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all controversy.
17. In which God, desiring to show more abundantly unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath,
18. that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us,
19. which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters even into that which is within the veil,
20. where our precursor, Jesus, has entered for us and is made high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
