10 Porque Dios no es injusto para olvidar vuestra obra y el trabajo de amor que habéis mostrado á su nombre, habiendo asistido y asistiendo aún á los santos.

11 Mas deseamos que cada uno de vosotros muestre la misma solicitud hasta el cabo, para cumplimiento de la esperanza:

12 Que no os hagáis perezosos, mas imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia heredan las promesas.

13 Porque prometiendo Dios á Abraham, no pudiendo jurar por otro mayor, juró por sí mismo,

14 Diciendo: De cierto te bendeciré bendiciendo, y multiplicando te multiplicaré.
