| 6:1 | Therefore, leaving the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, |
| 6:2 | of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. |
| 6:3 | And this we will do if God permits. |
| 6:4 | Because, it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, |
| 6:5 | and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, |
| 6:6 | if they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. |
| 6:7 | Because, the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; |
| 6:8 | but that which bears thorns and briers is rejected and is near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. |
| 6:10 | Because, God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. |
| 6:11 | And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, |
| 6:12 | that you do not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. |
| 6:13 | Because, when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, |
| 6:14 | saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." |
| 6:15 | And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. |
| 6:16 | Because, men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. |
| 6:17 | In this way, God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, |
| 6:18 | that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. |
| 6:19 | This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that which is behind the veil, |
| 6:20 | where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 6:1 | Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection, not laying againe ye foundation of repetance from dead workes, and of faith toward God, |
| 6:2 | Of the doctrine of baptismes, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternall iudgement. |
| 6:3 | And this will we doe if God permit. |
| 6:4 | For it is impossible that they which were once lightened, and haue tasted of the heauenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost, |
| 6:5 | And haue tasted of the good word of God, and of the powers of the world to come, |
| 6:6 | If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him. |
| 6:7 | For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth foorth herbes meete for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing of God. |
| 6:8 | But that which beareth thornes and briars, is reproued, and is neere vnto cursing, whose end is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | But beloued, we haue perswaded our selues better things of you, and such as accompany saluation, though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For God is not vnrighteous, that hee should forget your worke, and labour of loue, which ye shewed toward his Name, in that ye haue ministred vnto the Saints, and yet minister. |
| 6:11 | And we desire that euery one of you shew the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende, |
| 6:12 | That ye be not slouthfull, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherite the promises. |
| 6:13 | For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he had no greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe, |
| 6:14 | Saying, Surely I wil aboundantly blesse thee and multiplie thee marueilously. |
| 6:15 | And so after that he had taried patiently, he enioyed the promise. |
| 6:16 | For men verely sweare by him that is greater then themselues, and an othe for confirmation is among them an ende of all strife. |
| 6:17 | So God, willing more aboundantly to shew vnto the heires of promise the stablenes of his counsell, bound himselfe by an othe, |
| 6:18 | That by two immutable things, wherein it is vnpossible that God should lye, we might haue strong consolation, which haue our refuge to lay holde vpon that hope that is set before vs, |
| 6:19 | Which hope we haue, as an ancre of the soule, both sure and stedfast, and it entreth into that which is within the vaile, |
| 6:20 | Whither the forerunner is for vs entred in, euen Iesus that is made an hie Priest for euer after the order of Melchi-sedec. |
| 6:1 | Wherfore let vs leave ye doctryne pertayninge to the beginninge of a Christen man and let vs go vnto perfeccio and now no more laye the foundacio of repentaunce from deed workes and of fayth towarde God |
| 6:2 | of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. |
| 6:3 | And so will we do yf God permitte. |
| 6:4 | For it is not possible yt they which were once lyghted and have tasted of the hevenly gyft and were become partetakers of the holy goost |
| 6:5 | and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: |
| 6:6 | yf they faule shuld be renued agayne vnto repentaunce: for as moche as they have (as concerninge them selves) crucified the sonne of God a fresshe makynge a mocke of him. |
| 6:7 | For that erth which drinketh in the rayne wich cometh ofte vpon it and bringeth forth erbes mete for them that dresse it receaveth blessynge of god. |
| 6:8 | But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For god is not vnrighteous that he shuld forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of love which love shewed in his name which have ministred vnto the saynctes and yet minister |
| 6:11 | Yee and we desyre that every one of you shew the same diligence to the stablysshynge of hope even vnto the ende: |
| 6:12 | that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses. |
| 6:13 | For when god made promes to Abraham because he had no greater thinge to sweare by he sware by him silfe |
| 6:14 | sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede. |
| 6:15 | And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes. |
| 6:16 | Men verely sweare by him that is greater then them selves and an othe to confyrme the thynge ys amonge them an ende of all stryfe. |
| 6:17 | So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe |
| 6:18 | that by two immutable thinges (in which it was vnpossible that god shuld lye) we myght have parfect consolacion which have fled for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs |
| 6:19 | which hope we have as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast. Which hope also entreth in into tho thynges which are with in the vayle |
| 6:20 | whither ye fore runner is for vs entred in I mea Iesus that is made an hye prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. |
