For God is not unjust, such that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown in his name. For you have ministered, and you continue to minister, to the saints.
Yet we desire that each one of you display the same solicitude toward the fulfillment of hope, even unto the end,
so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.
For God, in making promises to Abraham, swore by himself, (because he had no one greater by whom he might swear),
saying: “Blessing, I shall bless you, and multiplying, I shall multiply you.”
And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise.
For men swear by what is greater than themselves, and an oath as confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
