Hebrews 6:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 6:17

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the ^apromise.

16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and ^aan oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to ^athe heirs of promise ^bthe immutability of His counsel,² confirmed it by an oath,

18 that by two¹ immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to ^alie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope ^bset before us.

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, ^aand which enters the Presence behind the veil,

20 ^awhere the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, ^bhaving become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
