Hebrews 6
1 Therefore having left the beginning of Christ [of the] teaching to maturity we may go on not again a foundation laying of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 about baptisms (about teaching, *NK+o) about laying on then of hands, about [the] resurrection both of [the] dead and about judgment eternal. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this (we will do *NK+o) if indeed if indeed shall permit God.
And this will we do, if God permit.
4 [It is] impossible for to those once having been enlightened, having tasted then of the gift heavenly and partakers having become of [the] Spirit Holy
For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and [the] goodness having tasted of God’s declaration [the] power also [of the] coming age — (aiōn g165)
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 and then having fallen away — again to restore [them] to repentance crucifying in themselves the Son of God and subjecting [Him] to open shame.
and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 Land for having drunk in the upon it coming often rain and producing vegetation useful for those for the sake of whom also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;
For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:
8 [That] bringing forth however thorns and thistles [is] worthless and a curse near to, of which the end [is] unto burning.
but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
9 We have been persuaded however concerning you, beloved, [of] [things] better and [things] accompanying salvation, if even like this we speak.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
10 Not for unjust [is] God to forget the work of you and (the labor *K) the love that you have shown toward the name of Him having ministered to the saints and [still] ministering.
for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister.
11 We desire now each of you the same to show earnestness toward the full assurance of the hope unto [the] end;
And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:
12 so that not sluggish you may be, imitators however of those through faith and patience inheriting the promises.
that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For to Abraham having made His promise God, since by no [one] He had greater to swear, He swore by Himself
For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,
14 saying; (If *N+kO) surely blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you;
saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And thus having waited patiently he obtained the promise.
And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Men (indeed *k) for by [one] greater swear, and in all their disputes finally [comes] to confirmation in the oath;
For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 In which more excessive desiring God to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of the purpose of Him guaranteed [it] by an oath,
Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 so that through two things unchangeable, in which [it is] impossible to lie [for] God, strong encouragement we may have having fled for refuge to take hold of what is being set before [us] hope;
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
19 which as an anchor we have of the soul sure both and unshakable and entering into that within the veil,
which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
