Hebrews 6:17-20
New King James Version
17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (A)the heirs of promise (B)the [a]immutability of His counsel, [b]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [c]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (C)lie, we [d]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (D)set before us.
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, (E)and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 (F)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, (G)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 6:17-20
New International Version
17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging(A) nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised,(B) he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie,(C) we who have fled to take hold of the hope(D) set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,(E) 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.(F) He has become a high priest(G) forever, in the order of Melchizedek.(H)
