| 6:1 | Therefore leauing the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let vs goe on vnto perfection, not laying againe the foundation of repentance from dead workes, and of faith towards God, |
| 6:2 | Of the doctrine of Baptismes, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternall iudgement. |
| 6:3 | And this will we doe, if God permit. |
| 6:4 | For it is impossible for those who were once inlightned, and haue tasted of the heauenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost, |
| 6:5 | And haue tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come; |
| 6:6 | If they shall fall away, to renue them againe vnto repentance: seeing they crucifie to themselues the Sonne of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. |
| 6:7 | For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth forth herbes meet for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing from God. |
| 6:8 | But that which beareth thornes and briers, is reiected, and is nigh vnto cursing, whose end is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | But beloued, wee are perswaded better things of you, and things that accompany saluation, though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For God is not vnrighteous, to forget your worke and labour of loue, which yee haue shewed toward his Name, in that yee haue ministred to the Saints, and doe minister. |
| 6:11 | And wee desire, that euery one of you doe shewe the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende: |
| 6:12 | That yee be not slothfull, but followers of them, who through faith and patience inherite the promises. |
| 6:13 | For when God made promise to Abraham, because hee could sweare by no greater, he sware by himselfe, |
| 6:14 | Saying, Surely, blessing I will blesse thee, and multiplying I wil multiply thee. |
| 6:15 | And so after he had patiently indured, he obtained the promise. |
| 6:16 | For men verily sweare by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. |
| 6:17 | Wherein God willing more abundantly to shewe vnto the heyres of promise the immutabilitie of his counsell, confirmed it by an oath: |
| 6:18 | That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lye, wee might haue a strong consolation, who haue fled for refuge to lay hold vpon the hope set before vs. |
| 6:19 | Which hope we haue as an anker of the soule both sure and stedfast, and which entreth into that within the vaile, |
| 6:20 | Whither the forerunner is for vs entrrd; euen Iesus, made an high Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec. |
| 6:1 | Wherfore let vs leaue the doctryne pertaynynge to the begynnynge of a Christen life, and let vs go vnto perfeccion: and now nomore laye ye foundacion of repetaunce from deed workes, and of faith towarde God, |
| 6:2 | of baptyme, of doctryne, of layenge on of hades, of resurreccion of the deed, & of eternall iudgment. |
| 6:3 | And so wil we do yf God permytte. |
| 6:4 | For it is not possible, that they which were once lighted, and haue taisted of the heauely gyfte, and are become partakers of the holy goost, |
| 6:5 | & haue taisted of ye good worde of God, and of the power of the worlde to come, |
| 6:6 | yf they fall awaye (and concernynge them selues crucifye the sonne of God afresshe, and make a mocke off him) that they shulde be renued agayne vnto repentaunce. |
| 6:7 | For the earth, that drynketh in the rayne, which commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth forth herbes mete for them that dresse it, receaueth blessynge of God: |
| 6:8 | But yt grounde which beareth thornes and thistles, is nothinge worth, and nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be brent. |
| 6:9 | Neuertheles (ye dearly beloued) we trust to se better of you, and yt saluacio is nyer, though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For God is not vnrighteous, that he shulde forget youre worke and laboure of loue, which ye shewed in his name, whan ye mynistred vnto the sayntes, and yet mynister. |
| 6:11 | Yee and we desyre, that euery one of you shewe the same diligence, to the stablyshinge of hope euen vnto the ende, |
| 6:12 | that ye faynte not, but folowe them which thorow faith and paciece inheret the promyses. |
| 6:13 | For whan God made promes to Abraham, because he had none greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe, |
| 6:14 | and sayde: Surely I wil blesse the and multiplye ye in dede. |
| 6:15 | And so he abode pacietly, and optayned the promes. |
| 6:16 | As for men, they sweare by him that is greater then them selues: and the ooth is the ende of all stryfe to confirme the thinge amoge them. |
| 6:17 | But God, wyllinge very abundauntly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his councell, added an ooth |
| 6:18 | yt by two immutable thinges (in the which it is vnpossible yt God shulde lye) we mighte haue a stronge consolacion: euen we, which are fled to holde fast the hope that is set before vs, |
| 6:19 | which (hope) we haue as a sure and stedfast anker of oure soule. Which (hope) also entreth in, in to those thinges that are within ye vayle, |
| 6:20 | whither the foreruner is for vs entred in, eue Iesus, which is made an hye prest for euer after ye order of Melchisedech. |
| 6:1 | 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, and of teching of baptimys, |
| 6:2 | and of leiynge on of hondis, and of risyng ayen of deed men, and of the euerlastinge doom. |
| 6:3 | And this thing we schulen do, if God schal suffre. |
| 6:4 | 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, |
| 6:5 | and netheles han tastid the good word of God, and the vertues of the world to comynge, and ben slidun fer awei, |
| 6:6 | that thei be renewid eftsoone to penaunce. Whiche eftsones crucifien to hem silf the sone of God, and han to scorn. |
| 6:7 | 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. |
| 6:8 | But that that is bringinge forth thornes and breris, is repreuable, and next to curs, whos endyng schal be in to brennyng. |
| 6:9 | But, ye moost dereworthe, we tristen of you betere thingis, and neer to helthe, thouy we speken so. |
| 6:10 | 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. |
| 6:11 | And we coueiten that ech of you schewe the same bisynesse to the fillyng of hope in to the ende; |
| 6:12 | that ye be not maad slowe, but also sueris of hem, whiche bi feith and pacience schulen enherite the biheestis. |
| 6:13 | For God bihetinge to Abraham, for he hadde noon grettere, bi whom he schulde swere, swoor bi hym silf, |
| 6:14 | and seide, Y blessinge schal blesse thee, and Y multipliynge schal multiplie thee; |
| 6:15 | and so he long abidinge hadde the biheeste. |
| 6:16 | For men sweren bi a grettere than hem silf, and the ende of al her ple is an ooth to confirmacioun. |
| 6:17 | In which thing God willynge to schewe plenteuouslier to the eiris of his biheest the sadnesse of his counsel, |
| 6:18 | 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. |
| 6:19 | Which hope as an ankir we han sikir to the soule, and sad, and goynge in to the ynnere thingis of hiding; |
| 6:20 | where the bifore goere, Jhesus, that is maad bischop with outen ende bi the ordre of Melchisedech, entride for vs. |
