‏ Hebrews 6:13-14

 Made promise ( επαγγειλαμενος ). First aorist middle participle of  επαγγελλω. Could swear by none greater ( κατ' ουδενος ειχεν μειζονος ομοσα ). Imperfect active of  εχω in sense of  εδυνατο as often with  ομοσα (first aorist active infinitive of  ομνυω ) and  ωμοσεν (he sware) is first aorist active indicative.

 Surely ( ε μην ). By itacism for  η μην (Deissmann, Bible Studies, p. 205). The quotation is from Ge 22:16f. (the promise renewed to Abraham with an oath after offering of Isaac).

 Blessing ( ευλογων ). Hebraism (present active participle) for the Hebrew infinitive absolute and so with  πληθυνων (multiplying).
