Hebrews 6:9-12

Hebrews 6:9-12

[9] But,  beloved,  we are persuaded  of  and  things that accompany  salvation,  thus  speak.  [10] For  God  is not  unrighteous  to forget  work  and  of love,  which  ye have shewed  toward  his  name,  in that ye have ministered  to the saints,  and  do minister.  [11] And  we desire  that every one  do shew  the same  diligence  to  the full assurance  of hope  unto  the end:  [12] ye be  slothful,  but  followers  of them who through  faith  and  patience  inherit  the promises.
