Hebrews 6:14

Read in context

Hebrews 6:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

13 When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

14 saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”

15 And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.

16 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
