Hebrews 6:16-17

NAS

NIV

16 For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.
17 In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,
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.
