| 6:6 | If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. |

| 6:15 | And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. |
| 6:16 | For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. |
| 6:17 | Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: |
| 6:18 | That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: |
| 6:19 | Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; |

| 6:2 | of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. |
