Hebrews 6:16-18
New Life Version
16 When men make a promise, they use a name greater than themselves. They do this to make sure they will do what they promise. In this way, no one argues about it. 17 And so God made a promise. He wanted to show Abraham that He would never change His mind. So He made the promise in His own name. 18 God gave these two things that cannot be changed and God cannot lie. We who have turned to Him can have great comfort knowing that He will do what He has promised.

Hebrews 6:16-18
New International Version
16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.(A) 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging(B) nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised,(C) 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,(D) we who have fled to take hold of the hope(E) set before us may be greatly encouraged.
