Hebrews 6:16-19
New American Standard Bible
16 (A)For people swear an oath by [a]one greater than themselves, and with them (B)an oath serving as confirmation is an end of every dispute. 17 [b]In the same way God, desiring even more to demonstrate to (C)the heirs of the promise [c](D)the fact that His purpose is unchangeable, [d]confirmed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things in which (E)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to (F)the hope set before us. 19 [e]This (G)hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable and one which (H)enters [f]within the veil,

New International Version
16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.(A) 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging(B) nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised,(C) 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,(D) we who have fled to take hold of the hope(E) set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,(F)

King James Version
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:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
