Hebrews 6:14 CPDV

¹²  so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.

¹³  For God, in making promises to Abraham, swore by himself, (because he had no one greater by whom he might swear),

¹⁴  saying: 'Blessing, I shall bless you, and multiplying, I shall multiply you.'

¹⁵  And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise.

¹⁶  For men swear by what is greater than themselves, and an oath as confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
