Hebrews 6
1 Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection, not laying againe ye foundation of repetance from dead workes, and of faith toward God,
Διὸ ἀφέντες τὸν τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ λόγον, ἐπὶ τὴν τελειότητα φερώμεθα, μὴ πάλιν θεμέλιον καταβαλλόμενοι μετανοίας ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων, καὶ πίστεως ἐπὶ ˚Θεόν,
2 Of the doctrine of baptismes, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternall iudgement. (aiōnios g166)
βαπτισμῶν διδαχὴν, ἐπιθέσεώς τε χειρῶν, ἀναστάσεώς τε νεκρῶν, καὶ κρίματος αἰωνίου. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this will we doe if God permit.
Καὶ τοῦτο ποιήσομεν, ἐάνπερ ἐπιτρέπῃ ὁ ˚Θεός.
4 For it is impossible that they which were once lightened, and haue tasted of the heauenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost,
Ἀδύνατον γὰρ τοὺς ἅπαξ φωτισθέντας, γευσαμένους τε τῆς δωρεᾶς τῆς ἐπουρανίου, καὶ μετόχους γενηθέντας ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου,
καὶ καλὸν γευσαμένους ˚Θεοῦ ῥῆμα, δυνάμεις τε μέλλοντος αἰῶνος, (aiōn g165)
6 If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him.
καὶ παραπεσόντας, πάλιν ἀνακαινίζειν εἰς μετάνοιαν, ἀνασταυροῦντας ἑαυτοῖς τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ παραδειγματίζοντας.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth foorth herbes meete for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing of God.
Γῆ γὰρ ἡ πιοῦσα τὸν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ἐρχόμενον πολλάκις ὑετόν, καὶ τίκτουσα βοτάνην εὔθετον, ἐκείνοις διʼ οὓς καὶ γεωργεῖται, μεταλαμβάνει εὐλογίας ἀπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ·
8 But that which beareth thornes and briars, is reproued, and is neere vnto cursing, whose end is to be burned.
ἐκφέρουσα δὲ ἀκάνθας καὶ τριβόλους, ἀδόκιμος καὶ κατάρας ἐγγύς, ἧς τὸ τέλος εἰς καῦσιν.
9 But beloued, we haue perswaded our selues better things of you, and such as accompany saluation, though we thus speake.
Πεπείσμεθα δὲ περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀγαπητοί, τὰ κρείσσονα καὶ ἐχόμενα σωτηρίας, εἰ καὶ οὕτως λαλοῦμεν.
10 For God is not vnrighteous, that hee should forget your worke, and labour of loue, which ye shewed toward his Name, in that ye haue ministred vnto the Saints, and yet minister.
Οὐ γὰρ ἄδικος ὁ ˚Θεὸς, ἐπιλαθέσθαι τοῦ ἔργου ὑμῶν, καὶ τῆς ἀγάπης ἧς ἐνεδείξασθε εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, διακονήσαντες τοῖς ἁγίοις καὶ διακονοῦντες.
11 And we desire that euery one of you shew the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende,
Ἐπιθυμοῦμεν δὲ ἕκαστον ὑμῶν τὴν αὐτὴν ἐνδείκνυσθαι σπουδὴν, πρὸς τὴν πληροφορίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἄχρι τέλους,
12 That ye be not slouthfull, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherite the promises.
ἵνα μὴ νωθροὶ γένησθε, μιμηταὶ δὲ τῶν διὰ πίστεως καὶ μακροθυμίας, κληρονομούντων τὰς ἐπαγγελίας.
13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he had no greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe,
Τῷ γὰρ Ἀβραὰμ ἐπαγγειλάμενος ὁ ˚Θεός, ἐπεὶ κατʼ οὐδενὸς εἶχεν μείζονος ὀμόσαι, ὤμοσεν καθʼ ἑαυτοῦ
14 Saying, Surely I wil aboundantly blesse thee and multiplie thee marueilously.
λέγων, “Εἰ μὴν εὐλογῶν, εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ πληθύνων, πληθυνῶ σε”.
15 And so after that he had taried patiently, he enioyed the promise.
Καὶ οὕτως μακροθυμήσας, ἐπέτυχεν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας.
16 For men verely sweare by him that is greater then themselues, and an othe for confirmation is among them an ende of all strife.
Ἄνθρωποι γὰρ κατὰ τοῦ μείζονος ὀμνύουσιν, καὶ πάσης αὐτοῖς ἀντιλογίας πέρας, εἰς βεβαίωσιν ὁ ὅρκος.
17 So God, willing more aboundantly to shew vnto the heires of promise the stablenes of his counsell, bound himselfe by an othe,
Ἐν ᾧ περισσότερον βουλόμενος ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἐπιδεῖξαι τοῖς κληρονόμοις τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, τὸ ἀμετάθετον τῆς βουλῆς αὐτοῦ, ἐμεσίτευσεν ὅρκῳ,
18 That by two immutable things, wherein it is vnpossible that God should lye, we might haue strong consolation, which haue our refuge to lay holde vpon that hope that is set before vs,
ἵνα διὰ δύο πραγμάτων ἀμεταθέτων, ἐν οἷς ἀδύνατον ψεύσασθαι τὸν ˚Θεόν, ἰσχυρὰν παράκλησιν ἔχωμεν, οἱ καταφυγόντες κρατῆσαι τῆς προκειμένης ἐλπίδος·
19 Which hope we haue, as an ancre of the soule, both sure and stedfast, and it entreth into that which is within the vaile,
ἣν ὡς ἄγκυραν ἔχομεν τῆς ψυχῆς, ἀσφαλῆ τε καὶ βεβαίαν, καὶ εἰσερχομένην εἰς τὸ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος,
