being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise
the immutability of his counsel,
interposed with an oath;
that 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:
which we have as an anchor of the soul,a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil; whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
