Hebrews 6:16 in Context — Hebrews 6
14 dizendo: Certamente muito te abençoarei, e muito te multiplicarei.
15 E assim, esperando pacientemente, [Abraão] obteve a promessa.
16 Pois as pessoas juram por alguém maior, e o juramento como confirmação é o fim de todo conflito entre elas.
17 Assim Deus, querendo mostrar mais abundantemente a imutabilidade de sua intenção aos herdeiros da promessa, garantiu com um juramento;
18 a fim de que, por meio de duas coisas imutáveis, nas quais é impossível que Deus minta, nós, que buscamos refúgio, tenhamos encorajamento para agarrar a esperança posta diante [de nós] .
