it is impossible that God should prove false

Hebrews 6:9-20 Though we speak thus, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation.

For God is not so unjust as to over-look your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.

And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had not one greater by whom the swear, he swore by himself,

saying, "Surely I will bless you and multiply you."

And thus Abraham having patiently endured, obtained the promise.

Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.

So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath

so that through two unchangeable things, it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us,

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain,

where Jesus has gone as forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Mel-chiz' e-dek.

Romans 3:1-18 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.

What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

By no means! Let God be true though every men be false, as it is written, "That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and prevail when thou art judged."

But if our wickedness serves to show the justice of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

By no means! For then how could God judge the world?

But if through my falsehood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

And why not do evil that good may come?-- as some people slanderously charge us with saying, Their condemnation is just.

What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all; for I have already charged that all men, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin,

as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

no one understands, no one seeks for God.

All have turned aside, together they have have gone wrong: no one does does good, not even one."

"Their throat is an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."

"Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."

Their feet are swift to shed blood,

in their paths are ruin and misery,

and the way of peace they do not know."

"There is no fear of God before their eyes."

Hebrews 10:35-39 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and recieve what is promised.

"For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;

but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

Genesis 22:15-19 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time, from heaven,

and said, "By myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

I will indeed bless you, and I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies,

and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice."

So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Be'-er-she-'ba; and Abraham dwelt in Beer-sheba.

Hebrews 3:1-6 Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession.

He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house.

Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house.

(For every house is built by some one, but the builder all things is God.)

Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as as servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

but Christ was faithful of God's house as a son. and we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope.

Hebrews 9:1-10 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.

For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; It is called the Holy Place.

Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies,

having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, which contained a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

These preparations having thus been made, the priests go continually into the outer tent, performing their ritual duties;

but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.

By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the sanctuary is not yet opened as long as the outer tent is still standing

(which is symbolic for the present age), According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

but deal only with food and drink and various ablutions, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

Hebrews 5:5-11 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";

as he says also in another place, "Thou are a priest for ever, after the order of Mel-Chiz'-e-dek."

In the days of the flesh, Jesus' offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.

Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;

and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

being designated by God a high priest after the order of Mel-Chiz'-e-dek.

About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
