Hebrews 6:14-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
14
saying, 'INDEED I WILL GREATLY BLESS YOU AND I WILL GREATLY MULTIPLY YOU.'
15
And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.
16
For people swear an oath by one greater
than themselves,
and with them an oath
serving
as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
17
In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to the heirs of the promise the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, confirmed it with an oath,
18
so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us.
King James Version
Chapter 6
14
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
14
I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.
15
And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.
16
For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute.
17
Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath,
18
so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
14
'I will certainly bless you,
and I will multiply your descendants beyond number.'
15
Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.
16
Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding.
17
God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind.
18
So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
14
saying, "Surely I will bless you and multiply you."
15
And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.
16
For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
17
So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath,
18
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
New International Version
Chapter 6
14
saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants."
15
And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
16
People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.
17
Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
18
God did this so that, 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 greatly encouraged.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
14
saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
15
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16
For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation
is
for them an end of all dispute.
17
Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed
it
by an oath,
18
that by two immutable things, in which it
is
impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before
us.
