Hebrews 6
1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,
Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha,
2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
and for the doctrine of ablution and of imposition of the hand, and for the resurrection from the place of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal? (aiōnios g166)
3 And this we will do, if God permits.
If the Lord permit, we will do this.
4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
But they who once unto baptism have descended, and have tasted the gift which is from heaven, and have received the Spirit of Holiness,
and have tasted the good word of Aloha, and the power of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
6 and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.
(and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God.
7 For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.
For the earth that hath drunk the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha;
8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.
9 Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.
But we are persuaded concerning you, my brethren, those things which are good, and that draw nigh unto salvation, though thus we speak.
10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister.
11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end;
12 Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
and that it be not cut off from you, but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience have become heirs of the promise.
13 When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
For when to Abraham Aloha gave promise, because there was no one greater than himself to swear by, he sware by his own Self,
14 saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”
and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.
And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise.
16 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and every controversy which occurs among them hath a sure conclusion in the oath.
17 So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.
On this account Aloha, willing abundantly to manifest to the heirs of the promise that his engagement is changeless, hath bound it in an oath:
18 Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us,
19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil,
