| 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. |
| 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 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. |
