FULL ASSURANCE OF HOPE

And we desire that every one of you do 

shew the same diligence to the full 

assurance of hope unto the end:  That
ye be not slothful, but followers 

of them who through faith and
patience inherit the promises.

For when God made promise to 

Abraham, because he could swear 

by no greater, he sware by himself,

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless 

thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thee.  And so, after he had patiently
endured, he obtained the promise.
For men verily swear by the greater: 

and an oath for confirmation is to 

them an end of all strife.  Wherein 

God, willing more abundantly to 

shew unto the heirs of promise 

the immutability of his counsel, 

confirmed it by an oath:  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:

Which hope we have as an 

anchor of the soul, both sure and 

stedfast, and which entereth into 

that within the veil;

Hebrews 6:11-19
