For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, 'I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU.' And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
