Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

לֹא אִישׁ אֵל וִֽיכַזֵּב וּבֶן-אָדָם וְיִתְנֶחָם הַהוּא אָמַר וְלֹא יַֽעֲשֶׂה וְדִבֶּר וְלֹא יְקִימֶֽנָּה׃
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
ἐπ' ἐλπίδι ζωῆς αἰωνίου ἣν ἐπηγγείλατο ὁ ἀψευδὴς θεὸς πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
וְגַם נֵצַח יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יְשַׁקֵּר וְלֹא יִנָּחֵם כִּי לֹא אָדָם הוּא לְהִנָּחֵֽם׃
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
εἰ ἀπιστοῦμεν ἐκεῖνος πιστὸς μένει ἀρνήσασθαι ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
μὴ γένοιτο· γινέσθω δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀληθής πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης καθὼς γέγραπται Ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת נִמְצָא מְאֹֽד׃
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
לָנוּס שָׁמָּה רוֹצֵחַ מַכֵּה-נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה בִּבְלִי-דָעַת וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְמִקְלָט מִגֹּאֵל הַדָּֽם׃
That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
הֵן לְצֶדֶק יִמְלָךְ-מֶלֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִים לְמִשְׁפָּט יָשֹֽׂרוּ׃
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι οὐχ ἡμαρτήκαμεν ψεύστην ποιοῦμεν αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
אָנֹכִי אָנֹכִי הוּא מְנַחֶמְכֶם מִֽי-אַתְּ וַתִּֽירְאִי מֵאֱנוֹשׁ יָמוּת וּמִבֶּן-אָדָם חָצִיר יִנָּתֵֽן׃
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
Τοιγαροῦν καὶ ἡμεῖς τοσοῦτον ἔχοντες περικείμενον ἡμῖν νέφος μαρτύρων ὄγκον ἀποθέμενοι πάντα καὶ τὴν εὐπερίστατον ἁμαρτίαν δι' ὑπομονῆς τρέχωμεν τὸν προκείμενον ἡμῖν ἀγῶνα
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
וְהַשְּׁמֻעָה בָּאָה עַד-יוֹאָב כִּי יוֹאָב נָטָה אַֽחֲרֵי אֲדֹֽנִיָּה וְאַֽחֲרֵי אַבְשָׁלוֹם לֹא נָטָה וַיָּנָס יוֹאָב אֶל-אֹהֶל יְהוָה וַֽיַּחֲזֵק בְּקַרְנוֹת הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃
Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
הַחֲזֵק בַּמּוּסָר אַל-תֶּרֶף נִצְּרֶהָ כִּי-הִיא חַיֶּֽיךָ׃
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
שׁוּבוּ לְבִצָּרוֹן אֲסִירֵי הַתִּקְוָה גַּם-הַיּוֹם מַגִּיד מִשְׁנֶה אָשִׁיב לָֽךְ׃
Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
Παῦλος ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ κατ' ἐπιταγὴν θεοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν καὶ Κυριόυ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
ὡς ὤμοσα ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ μου· Εἰ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὴν κατάπαυσίν μου
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
וְאֵין-קוֹרֵא בְשִׁמְךָ מִתְעוֹרֵר לְהַחֲזִיק בָּךְ כִּֽי-הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ מִמֶּנּוּ וַתְּמוּגֵנוּ בְּיַד-עֲוֹנֵֽנוּ׃
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
ὃν προέθετο ὁ θεὸς ἱλαστήριον διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ αἵματι εἰς ἔνδειξιν τῆς δικαιοσύνης αὐτοῦ διὰ τὴν πάρεσιν τῶν προγεγονότων ἁμαρτημάτων ἐν τῇ ἀνοχῇ τοῦ θεοῦ
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
כִּי-כֹה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה לַסָּֽרִיסִים אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁמְרוּ אֶת-שַׁבְּתוֹתַי וּבָֽחֲרוּ בַּאֲשֶׁר חָפָצְתִּי וּמַחֲזִיקִים בִּבְרִיתִֽי׃
For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
ὅτι καθὼς περισσεύει τὰ παθήματα τοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς ἡμᾶς οὕτως διὰ Χριστοῦ περισσεύει καὶ ἡ παράκλησις ἡμῶν
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
