Hebræerne 6
1 Lader os derfor forbigaa Begyndelsesordet om Kristus og skride frem til Fuldkommenheden uden atter at lægge Grundvold med Omvendelse fra døde Gerninger og med Tro paa Gud,
For this reason, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, we may advance to perfection, not laying again a foundation of conversion from dead works, and of faith on God,
of the teaching of immersions, also of laying on of hands, also of [the] resurrection of the dead, and of continuous judgment, (aiōnios g166)
3 Ja, dette ville vi gøre, saafremt Gud tilsteder det.
and this we will do, if God may permit,
4 Thi dem, som een Gang ere blevne oplyste og have smagt den himmelske Gave og ere blevne delagtige i den Helligaand
for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having also tasted of the heavenly gift, and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 og have smagt Guds gode Ord og den kommende Verdens Kræfter, og som ere faldne fra, — dem er det umuligt atter at forny til Omvendelse, (aiōn g165)
and tasted the good saying of God, also the powers of the coming age, (aiōn g165)
6 da de igen korsfæste sig Guds Søn og stille ham til Spot.
and having fallen away, to renew [them] again to conversion, having crucified to themselves the Son of God again, and exposed to public shame.
7 Thi Jorden, som drikker den ofte derpaa faldende Regn og frembringer Vækster, tjenlige for dem, for hvis Skyld den ogsaa dyrkes, faar Velsignelse fra Gud;
For the earth, having drunk in the rain coming on it many times, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom it is also dressed, partakes of blessing from God,
8 men naar den bærer Torne og Tidsler, er den ubrugbar og Forbandelse nær; Enden med den er at brændes.
but that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and near to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
9 Dog, i Henseende til eder, I elskede! ere vi overbeviste om det bedre og det, som bringer Frelse, selv om vi tale saaledes.
but we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,
10 Thi Gud er ikke uretfærdig, saa at han skulde glemme eders Gerning og den Kærlighed, som I have Udvist imod hans Navn, idet I have tjent og tjene de hellige.
for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that you showed to His Name, having ministered to the holy ones and ministering;
11 Men vi ønske, at enhver af eder maa udvise den samme Iver efter den fulde Vished i Haabet indtil Enden,
and we desire each one of you to show the same diligence, to the full assurance of the hope to the end,
12 for at I ikke skulle blive sløve, men efterfølge dem, som ved Tro og Taalmodighed arve Forjættelserne.
that you may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
13 Thi da Gud gav Abraham Forjættelsen, svor han ved sig selv, fordi han ingen større havde at sværge ved, og sagde:
For God, having made promise to Abraham, seeing He was not able to swear by [any] greater, swore by Himself,
14 „Sandelig, jeg vil rigeligt velsigne dig og rigeligt mangfoldiggøre dig.‟
saying, “Blessing I will indeed bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you”;
15 Og saaledes opnaaede han Forjættelsen ved at vente taalmodigt.
and so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise;
16 Mennesker sværge jo ved en større, og Eden er dem en Ende paa al Modsigelse til Stadfæstelse.
for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,
17 Derfor, da Gud ydermere vilde vise Forjættelsens Arvinger sit Raads Uforanderlighed, føjede han en Ed dertil,
in which God, more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed by an oath,
18 for at vi ved to uforanderlige Ting, i hvilke det var umuligt, at Gud kunde lyve, skulde have en kraftig Opmuntring, vi, som ere flyede hen for at holde fast ved det Haab, som ligger foran os,
that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong comfort, having fled for refuge, to lay hold on the hope being set before [us],
19 hvilket vi have som et Sjælens Anker, der er sikkert og fast og gaar ind inden for Forhænget,
which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into that within the veil,
