| 6:1 | Wherfore let vs loue the doctrine pertaininge to the beginninge of a Christen man, & let vs go vnto perfeccion, & nowe no more lay the foundacion of repentaunce from deade workes, and of faythe towarde God, |
| 6:2 | of baptyme, of doctryne, and of layinge on of handes, and of resurreccion from death, and of eternal iudgemente. |
| 6:3 | And so wil we do, yf God permytte. |
| 6:4 | For it is not possible that they whiche were ones lyghted, and haue tasted of the heauenly gyft, and were become partakers of the holy ghoste, |
| 6:5 | and haue tasted of the good worde of God, and of the worlde to come: |
| 6:6 | yf they fall, shoulde be renued agayne vnto repentaunce: for as muche as they haue (as concernynge them selues) crucifyed the sonne of God a freshe makynge a mocke of hym. |
| 6:7 | For that earthe whiche drincketh in the rayne whiche commeth ofte vpon it, and bryngeth forth herbes mete for them that dresse it, receyueth blessynge of God. |
| 6:8 | But that ground which beareth thornes and bryars, is reproued, and is nye vnto curssynge: whose ende is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | Neuerthelesse deare frindes, we truste to se better of you, and thynges whiche accompanye saluacyon, though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For God is not vnryghtuous that he should forget your worke and laboure that procedeth of loue, which loue you shewed in hys name, whiche haue mynystred vnto the saynctes, & yet mynyster. |
| 6:11 | Yea, and we desyre that euerye one of you shew the same dylygence, to the stablyshynge of hope euen vnto the ende: |
| 6:12 | that ye faynt not, but folowe them, whiche thorowe fayth & pacience inheret the promyses. |
| 6:13 | For when God made promes to Abraham, because he had no greater thynge to sweare by, he sweare by hym selfe, |
| 6:14 | saiynge: Surelye I wyl blesse the, and multyplye the in deede. |
| 6:15 | And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme, he enioyed the promes. |
| 6:16 | Men verelye sweare by hym that is greater then them selues, & an othe to confyrme the thynge, is amonge them an ende of all stryfe. |
| 6:17 | So God wyllynge verye aboundauntlye to shewe vnto the heyres of promes, the stablenes of hys counsayle, he added an othe, |
| 6:18 | that by two immutable thynges (in which it was vnpossyble that GOD shaulde lye) we myghte haue perfecte consolacyon, whiche haue fled, for to holde faste the hope that is set before vs, |
| 6:19 | whiche hope we haue an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast. Whiche hope also entreth in, into those thynges that are wythin the vayle, |
| 6:20 | whether the fore runner is for vs entred in I meane Iesus that is made an hye prieste for euer, after the order of Melchysedech. |
| 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 | Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, |
| 6:2 | Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. |
| 6:3 | And this will we do, if God permit. |
| 6:4 | For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, |
| 6:5 | And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, |
| 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. |
| 6:7 | For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: |
| 6:8 | But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. |
| 6:10 | For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. |
| 6:11 | And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: |
| 6:12 | That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. |
| 6:13 | For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, |
| 6:14 | Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. |
| 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; |
| 6:20 | Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. |
