Hebrews 6:12 in Context — Hebrews 6

10 Pois Deus não é injusto para se esquecer da vossa obra, e do trabalho do amor que mostrastes para com o nome dele, quando servistes aos santos, e continuais a servir.

11 Mas desejamos que cada um de vós mostre o mesmo empenho até o fim, para que a [vossa] esperança seja completa;

12 a fim de que não vos torneis negligentes, mas sim, imitadores dos que pela fé e pela paciência herdam as promessas.

13 Pois Deus, quando prometeu a Abraão, como ninguém maior havia por quem jurar, jurou por si mesmo,

14 dizendo: Certamente muito te abençoarei, e muito te multiplicarei.
