The Certainty of God’s Promise

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, ^ahe swore by himself, 14 saying, ^b“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham, ^{▼▼Greek he} ^dhaving patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes ^ean oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to ^fthe heirs of the promise ^gthe unchangeable character of his purpose, ^hhe guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which ⁱit is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope ^jset before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into ^kthe inner place behind the curtain,
