< Hebrews 6 >

1 Wherefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to things more perfect, not laying again the foundation of penance from dead works, and of faith towards 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 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
And so will we do yf God permitte.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
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 Have moreover tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: (aiōn g165)
6 And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God, and making him a mockery.
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 the earth that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth 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 that which bringeth forth thorns and briers, is reprobate, and very near unto a curse, whose end is to be burnt.
But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned.
9 But, my dearly beloved, we trust better things of you, and nearer to salvation; though we speak thus.
Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake.
10 For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered, and do minister 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 we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto 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 That you become not slothful, but followers of them, who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises.
that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses.
13 For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore 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: Unless blessing I shall bless thee, and multiplying I shall multiply thee.
sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede.
15 And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.
And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes.
16 For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
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 Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed an oath:
So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe
18 That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us.
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 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within 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 the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
