Hebrews 6:13 in Context — Hebrews 6
11 Nous désirons que chacun de vous montre le même zèle pour conserver jusqu’à la fin une pleine espérance,
12 en sorte que vous ne vous relâchiez point, et que vous imitiez ceux qui, par la foi et la persévérance, héritent des promesses.
13 Lorsque Dieu fit la promesse à Abraham, ne pouvant jurer par un plus grand que lui, il jura par lui-même,
14 et dit: Certainement je te bénirai et je multiplierai ta postérité.
15 Et c’est ainsi qu’Abraham, ayant persévéré, obtint l’effet de la promesse.
