Hebrews 6:12-16
New American Standard Bible
13For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear an oath by no one greater, He swore by Himself,
14saying, 'INDEED I WILL GREATLY BLESS YOU AND I WILL GREATLY MULTIPLY YOU.'
15And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.
16For people swear an oath by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath serving as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
King James Version
13For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
14saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself:
14I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.
15And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.
16For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute.
