< Hebrews 6 >
1 For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,
Wherfore let vs leave ye doctryne pertayninge to the beginninge of a Christen man and let vs go vnto perfeccio and now no more laye the foundacio of repentaunce from deed workes and of fayth towarde God
2 The teaching of baptisms, and of the putting on of hands, and of the future life of the dead, and of the judging on the last day. (aiōnios )
of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. (aiōnios )
3 Now we will do this, if God lets us.
And so will we do yf God permitte.
4 As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,
For it is not possible yt they which were once lyghted and have tasted of the hevenly gyft and were become partetakers of the holy goost
5 With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time, (aiōn )
and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: (aiōn )
6 And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.
yf they faule shuld be renued agayne vnto repentaunce: for as moche as they have (as concerninge them selves) crucified the sonne of God a fresshe makynge a mocke of him.
7 For a land, drinking in the frequent rain and producing good plants for those for whom it is worked, has a blessing from God:
For that erth which drinketh in the rayne wich cometh ofte vpon it and bringeth forth erbes mete for them that dresse it receaveth blessynge of god.
8 But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.
But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned.
9 But, my loved ones, though we say this, we are certain that you have better things in you, things which go with salvation;
Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake.
10 For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.
For god is not vnrighteous that he shuld forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of love which love shewed in his name which have ministred vnto the saynctes and yet minister
11 And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:
Yee and we desyre that every one of you shew the same diligence to the stablysshynge of hope even vnto the ende:
12 So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.
that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses.
13 For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,
For when god made promes to Abraham because he had no greater thinge to sweare by he sware by him silfe
14 Saying, Be certain that I will give you my blessing, and make your numbers very great.
sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede.
15 And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.
And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes.
16 For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.
Men verely sweare by him that is greater then them selves and an othe to confyrme the thynge ys amonge them an ende of all stryfe.
17 So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;
So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe
18 So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;
that by two immutable thinges (in which it was vnpossible that god shuld lye) we myght have parfect consolacion which have fled for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs
19 And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;
which hope we have as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast. Which hope also entreth in into tho thynges which are with in the vayle
20 Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
whither ye fore runner is for vs entred in I mea Iesus that is made an hye prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn )
