< 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,
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 )
3 And this (we will do *NK+o) if indeed if indeed shall permit God.
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
5 and [the] goodness having tasted of God’s declaration [the] power also [of the] coming age — (aiōn )
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.
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;
8 [That] bringing forth however thorns and thistles [is] worthless and a curse near to, of which the end [is] unto burning.
9 We have been persuaded however concerning you, beloved, [of] [things] better and [things] accompanying salvation, if even like this we 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.
11 We desire now each of you the same to show earnestness toward the full assurance of the hope unto [the] end;
12 so that not sluggish you may be, imitators however of those through faith and patience inheriting the promises.
13 For to Abraham having made His promise God, since by no [one] He had greater to swear, He swore by Himself
14 saying; (If *N+kO) surely blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you;
15 And thus having waited patiently 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;
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,
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;
19 which as an anchor we have of the soul sure both and unshakable and entering into that within the veil,
20 where [the] forerunner for us has entered Jesus according to the order of Melchizedek a high priest having become to the age. (aiōn )
