Therefore [ergänzt: it is] on the principle of faith, that [ergänzt: it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [ergänzt: is] of the law, but to that also which [ergänzt: is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

βεβαίαν bebaian “sure”

but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are *we*, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

βεβαίαν bebaian “unshakable”

For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;

βεβαίαν bebaian “unshakable”

Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;

βεβαίαν bebaian “sure”

And we have the prophetic word [ergänzt: made] surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until [ergänzt: the] day dawn and [ergänzt: the] morning star arise in your hearts;

βεβαιότερον bebaioteron “more certain”
