Hebrews 6:13 in Context — Hebrews 6
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.
15 E assim, esperando pacientemente, [Abraão] obteve a promessa.
