15And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
19which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
20whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
