「照樣,神願意為那承受應許的人,格外顯明祂的旨意是不更改的,就起誓為證。藉這兩件不更改的事,神決不能說謊,好叫我們這逃往避難所、持定擺在我們前頭指望的人可以大得勉勵。」(希伯來書6:17,18)
「So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.」(Hebrew 6:17,18)
