Hebrews 6
1 Therefore, omitting the elementary Christian teaching, let us go on to the perfection of Christian instruction, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
διο αφεντες τον της αρχης του χριστου λογον επι την τελειοτητα φερωμεθα μη παλιν θεμελιον καταβαλλομενοι μετανοιας απο νεκρων εργων και πιστεως επι θεον
2 of the teaching with respect to immersions, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal condemnation. (aiōnios g166)
βαπτισμων {VAR1: διδαχην } {VAR2: διδαχης } επιθεσεως τε χειρων αναστασεως {VAR2: τε } νεκρων και κριματος αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)
3 And this we will do, if God permit.
και τουτο ποιησομεν εανπερ επιτρεπη ο θεος
4 For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
αδυνατον γαρ τους απαξ φωτισθεντας γευσαμενους τε της δωρεας της επουρανιου και μετοχους γενηθεντας πνευματος αγιου
και καλον γευσαμενους θεου ρημα δυναμεις τε μελλοντος αιωνος (aiōn g165)
6 if they fall away; since they again crucify in themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.
και παραπεσοντας παλιν ανακαινιζειν εις μετανοιαν ανασταυρουντας εαυτοις τον υιον του θεου και παραδειγματιζοντας
7 For the land which drinks up the rain that comes often upon it, and produces herbs suitable for those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God.
γη γαρ η πιουσα τον επ αυτης ερχομενον πολλακις υετον και τικτουσα βοτανην ευθετον εκεινοις δι ους και γεωργειται μεταλαμβανει ευλογιας απο του θεου
8 But that which produces thorns and thistles is rejected, and is near the curse, the end of which is to be burned.
εκφερουσα δε ακανθας και τριβολους αδοκιμος και καταρας εγγυς ης το τελος εις καυσιν
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, and of things that tend to salvation, though we thus speak.
πεπεισμεθα δε περι υμων αγαπητοι τα κρεισσονα και εχομενα σωτηριας ει και ουτως λαλουμεν
10 For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shown for his name by having ministered to the saints, and by continuing to minister.
ου γαρ αδικος ο θεος επιλαθεσθαι του εργου υμων και της αγαπης ης ενεδειξασθε εις το ονομα αυτου διακονησαντες τοις αγιοις και διακονουντες
11 But we desire every one of you to show the same diligence, in order to have your hope fully assured to the end:
επιθυμουμεν δε εκαστον υμων την αυτην ενδεικνυσθαι σπουδην προς την πληροφοριαν της ελπιδος αχρι τελους
12 that you may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
ινα μη νωθροι γενησθε μιμηται δε των δια πιστεως και μακροθυμιας κληρονομουντων τας επαγγελιας
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
τω γαρ αβρααμ επαγγειλαμενος ο θεος επει κατ ουδενος ειχεν μειζονος ομοσαι ωμοσεν καθ εαυτου
14 saying: Most surely will I abundantly bless you, and abundantly multiply you.
λεγων ει μην ευλογων ευλογησω σε και πληθυνων πληθυνω σε
15 And so, when he had waited patiently, he received the promises.
και ουτως μακροθυμησας επετυχεν της επαγγελιας
16 For, verily, men swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction.
ανθρωποι γαρ κατα του μειζονος ομνυουσιν και πασης αυτοις αντιλογιας περας εις βεβαιωσιν ο ορκος
17 Wherefore, God, being more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of his promise the immutability of his purpose, interposed an oath,
εν ω περισσοτερον βουλομενος ο θεος επιδειξαι τοις κληρονομοις της επαγγελιας το αμεταθετον της βουλης αυτου εμεσιτευσεν ορκω
18 that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us;
ινα δια δυο πραγματων αμεταθετων εν οις αδυνατον ψευσασθαι {VAR2: [τον] } θεον ισχυραν παρακλησιν εχωμεν οι καταφυγοντες κρατησαι της προκειμενης ελπιδος
19 which, hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in beyond the vail,
ην ως αγκυραν εχομεν της ψυχης ασφαλη τε και βεβαιαν και εισερχομενην εις το εσωτερον του καταπετασματος
