"And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise. "
— Hebrews 6:15, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”
“And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. ”
“Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”
“And so by persevering, Abraham inherited the promise.”
“And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.”
“And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.”
“And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”
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.
In this matter, God, wanting to reveal more thoroughly the immutability of his counsel to the heirs of the promise, interposed an oath,
so that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest solace: we who have fled together so as to hold fast to the hope set before us.
