Nov 09【每/日/活/水】信靠 SHEN 所起誓的应许

 9 亲爱的弟兄们，我们虽是这样说，却深信你们的行为强过这些，而且近乎得救。

10 因为 SHEN 并非不公义，竟忘记你们所做的工和你们为他名所显的爱心，就是先前伺候圣徒，如今还是伺候。

11 我们愿你们各人都显出这样的殷勤，使你们有满足的指望，一直到底。

12 并且不懈怠，总要效法那些凭信心和忍耐承受应许的人。 　

SHEN 确切的应许

13 当初 SHEN 应许亚伯拉罕的时候，因为没有比自己更大可以指着起誓的，就指着自己起誓，说：

14「论福，我必赐大福给你；论子孙，我必叫你的子孙多起来。」

15 这样，亚伯拉罕既恒久忍耐，就得了所应许的。

16 人都是指着比自己大的起誓，并且以起誓为实据，了结各样的争论。

17 照样， SHEN 愿意为那承受应许的人格外显明他的旨意是不更改的，就起誓为证。

18 藉这两件不更改的事， SHEN 决不能说谎，好叫我们这逃往避难所、持定摆在我们前头指望的人可以大得勉励。

19 我们有这指望，如同灵魂的锚，又坚固又牢靠，且通入幔内。

20 作先锋的 YS ，既照着麦基洗德的等次成了永远的大祭司，就为我们进入幔内。

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.

10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.

12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. The Certainty of God’s Promise

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,

14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”

15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.

17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, 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, we who have fled to take hold of the hope 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,

20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
