"For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, "
— Hebrews 6:13, American King James Version
“For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,”
“For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself, ”
“For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,”
“Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,”
“For God making promises to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,”
“For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,”
“For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,”
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end:
That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
