¹Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

¹⁰For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

¹³For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

¹⁵And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

¹⁶For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

¹⁷Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

¹⁷⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏ ⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ.

¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

¹⁹Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
