Gen. 3:17, 18 ⁹ But, loved ones, even if we indeed speak so, we have been persuaded better things concerning you, even holding fast salvation. ¹⁰ For God is not unjust, to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed to His name, ministering to the saints, and now are ministering. ¹¹ But we desire each of you to show the same eagerness, to the full assurance of the hope to the end; ¹² that you not become dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsuffering are inheriting the promises. ¹³ For God having made promise to Abraham, since He had no greater to swear by, " He swore by Himself," ¹⁴ saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." Gen. 22:16, 17 ¹⁵ And so, being long-suffering, he obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath to make things sure is to them the end of all gainsaying. ¹⁷ In which way, desiring to more fully declare to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, God interposed by an oath, ¹⁸ that through two unchangeable things, in which it was not possible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, those having fled to lay hold on the hope set before us, ¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both certain and sure, and entering into the inner side of the veil, Lev. 16:12 ²⁰ where Jesus entered as forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.
