Hebrews 6:13 in context

  1. 11We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
  2. 12that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

  5. 15Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
