Hebrews 6:16 in Context — Hebrews 6
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.
16 Or les hommes jurent par celui qui est plus grand qu’eux, et le serment est une garantie qui met fin à tous leurs différends.
17 C’est pourquoi Dieu, voulant montrer avec plus d’évidence aux héritiers de la promesse l’immuabilité de sa résolution, intervint par un serment,
18 afin que, par deux choses immuables, dans lesquelles il est impossible que Dieu mente, nous trouvions un puissant encouragement, nous dont le seul refuge a été de saisir l’espérance qui nous était proposée.
