Hebrews 6
1 Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the Christ, let us go on [to what belongs] to full growth, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
Therfor we bringinge in a word of the bigynnyng of Crist, be we borun to the perfeccioun of hym, not eftsoone leggynge the foundement of penaunce fro deed werkis, and of the feith to God,
2 of [the] doctrine of washings, and of imposition of hands, and of resurrection of [the] dead, and of eternal judgment; (aiōnios g166)
and of teching of baptimys, and of leiynge on of hondis, and of risyng ayen of deed men, and of the euerlastinge doom. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this will we do if God permit.
And this thing we schulen do, if God schal suffre.
4 For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of [the] Holy Spirit,
But it is impossible, that thei that ben onys liytned, and `han tastid also an heuenly yifte, and ben maad parceneris of the Hooli Goost,
and netheles han tastid the good word of God, and the vertues of the world to comynge, (aiōn g165)
6 and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves [as they do] the Son of God, and making a show of [him].
and ben slidun fer awei, that thei be renewid eftsoone to penaunce. Whiche eftsones crucifien to hem silf the sone of God, and han to scorn.
7 For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;
For the erthe that drinkith reyn ofte comynge on it, and bringith forth couenable erbe to hem of whiche it is tilid, takith blessing of God.
8 but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end [is] to be burned.
But that that is bringinge forth thornes and breris, is repreuable, and next to curs, whos endyng schal be in to brennyng.
9 But we are persuaded concerning you, beloved, better things, and connected with salvation, even if we speak thus.
But, ye moost dereworthe, we tristen of you betere thingis, and neer to helthe, thouy we speken so.
10 For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye have shewn to his name, having ministered to the saints, and [still] ministering.
For God is not vniust, that he foryete youre werk and loue, whiche ye han schewid in his name; for ye han mynystrid to seyntis, `and mynistren.
11 But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end;
And we coueiten that ech of you schewe the same bisynesse to the fillyng of hope in to the ende;
12 that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises.
that ye be not maad slowe, but also sueris of hem, whiche bi feith and pacience schulen enherite the biheestis.
13 For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no greater to swear by, swore by himself,
For God bihetinge to Abraham, for he hadde noon grettere, bi whom he schulde swere, swoor bi hym silf,
14 saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;
and seide, Y blessinge schal blesse thee, and Y multipliynge schal multiplie thee;
15 and thus, having had long patience, he got the promise.
and so he long abidinge hadde the biheeste.
16 For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure.
For men sweren bi a grettere than hem silf, and the ende of al her ple is an ooth to confirmacioun.
17 Wherein God, willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, intervened by an oath,
In which thing God willynge to schewe plenteuouslier to the eiris of his biheest the sadnesse of his counsel,
18 that by two unchangeable things, in which [it was] impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,
puttide bitwixe an ooth, that bi twey thingis vnmeuable, bi whiche it is impossible that God lie, we han a strengeste solace, `we that fleen togidere to holde the hope that is put forth to vs.
19 which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,
Which hope as an ankir we han sikir to the soule, and sad, and goynge in to the ynnere thingis of hiding;
