Hebrews 6
1 Therefore, interrupting an explanation of the basics of Christ, let us consider what is more advanced, not presenting again the fundamentals of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Lader os derfor forbigå Begyndelsesordet om Kristus og skride frem til Fuldkommenhed uden atter at lægge Grundvold med Omvendelse fra døde Gerninger og med Tro på Gud,
2 of the doctrine of baptism, and also of the imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
med Lære om Døbelser og Håndspålæggelse og dødes Opstandelse og evig Dom. (aiōnios g166)
3 And we shall do this, if indeed God permits it.
Ja, dette ville vi gøre, såfremt Gud tilsteder det.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, and have even tasted of the heavenly gift, and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit,
Thi dem, som een Gang ere blevne oplyste og have smagt den himmelske Gave og ere blevne delagtige i den Helligånd
og have smagt Guds gode Ord og den kommende Verdens Kræfter, (aiōn g165)
6 have yet fallen away, to be renewed again to penance, since they are crucifying again in themselves the Son of God and are still maintaining pretenses.
og som ere faldne fra, - dem er det umuligt atter at forny til Omvendelse da de igen korsfæste sig Guds Søn og stille ham til Spot.
7 For the earth accepts a blessing from God, by drinking in the rain that often falls upon it, and by producing plants that are useful to those by whom it is cultivated.
Thi Jorden, som drikker den ofte derpå faldende Regn og frembringer Vækster, tjenlige for dem, for hvis Skyld den også dyrkes, får Velsignelse fra Gud;
8 But whatever brings forth thorns and briers is rejected, and is closest to what is accursed; their consummation is in combustion.
men når den bærer Torne og Tidsler, er den ubrugbar og Forbandelse nær; Enden med den er at brændes.
9 But from you, most beloved, we are confident that there will be things better and closer to salvation; even though we speak in this way.
Dog, i Henseende til eder, I elskede! ere vi overbeviste om det bedre og det, som bringer Frelse, selv om vi tale således.
10 For God is not unjust, such that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown in his name. For you have ministered, and you continue to minister, to the saints.
Thi Gud er ikke uretfærdig, så at han skulde glemme eders Gerning og den Kærlighed, som I have udvist imod hans Navn, idet I have tjent og tjene de hellige.
11 Yet we desire that each one of you display the same solicitude toward the fulfillment of hope, even unto the end,
Men vi ønske, at enhver af eder må udvise den samme Iver efter den fulde Vished i Håbet indtil Enden,
12 so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.
for at I ikke skulle blive sløve, men efterfølge dem, som ved Tro og Tålmodighed arve Forjættelserne.
13 For God, in making promises to Abraham, swore by himself, (because he had no one greater by whom he might swear),
Thi da Gud gav Abraham Forjættelsen, svor han ved sig selv, fordi han ingen større havde at sværge ved, og sagde:
14 saying: “Blessing, I shall bless you, and multiplying, I shall multiply you.”
"Sandelig, jeg vil rigeligt velsigne dig og rigeligt mangfoldiggøre dig."
15 And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise.
Og således opnåede han Forjættelsen ved at vente tålmodigt.
16 For men swear by what is greater than themselves, and an oath as confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
Mennesker sværge jo ved en større, og Eden er dem en Ende på al Modsigelse til Stadfæstelse.
17 In this matter, God, wanting to reveal more thoroughly the immutability of his counsel to the heirs of the promise, interposed an oath,
Derfor, da Gud ydermere vilde vise Forjættelsens Arvinger sit Råds Uforanderlighed, føjede han en Ed dertil,
18 so that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest solace: we who have fled together so as to hold fast to the hope set before us.
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 Håb, som ligger foran os,
19 This we have as an anchor of the soul, safe and sound, which advances even to the interior of the veil,
hvilket vi have som et Sjælens Anker, der er sikkert og fast og går ind inden for Forhænget,
