Hebrews 6:19

Read in context

Hebrews 6:17–20 · Berean Standard Bible

17 So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.

18 Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.

19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

20 where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
