Hebrews 6:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ saying, “I will ·surely [or greatly] bless you and ·give you many [greatly multiply your] descendants [Gen. 22:17].” ¹⁵ Abraham ·waited patiently for this to happen [persevered], and he received what God promised.

¹⁶ [^LFor] People always ·use the name of [^Lswear by] someone greater than themselves when they swear. The oath ·proves [is confirmation] that what they say is true, and this ·ends all arguing [or settles the dispute; ^Can oath by a higher authority is taken as a legal guarantee].
