Hebrews 6
1 Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem, ad perfectiora feramur, non rursum jacientes fundamentum pœnitentiæ ab operibus mortuis, et fidei ad Deum,
2 of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
baptismatum doctrinæ, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et judicii æterni. (aiōnios g166)
3 And we will do this, if God may permit.
Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.
4 For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Impossibile est enim eos qui semel sunt illuminati, gustaverunt etiam donum cæleste, et participes facti sunt Spiritus Sancti,
gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum, virtutesque sæculi venturi, (aiōn g165)
6 indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.
et prolapsi sunt; rursus renovari ad pœnitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis Filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.
7 For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God:
Terra enim sæpe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem a Deo:
8 but that which produces thorns and thistles, is reprobate, and nigh unto the curse; whose end is unto burning.
proferens autem spinas ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima: cujus consummatio in combustionem.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things concerning you, and things appertaining to salvation, if indeed we do thus speak.
Confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora, et viciniora saluti: tametsi ita loquimur.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the divine love which you manifested in his name, having ministered to the saints, and ministering.
Non enim injustus Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.
11 But we desire each one of you to exhibit the same diligence unto the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eamdem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem:
12 in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises.
ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia hæreditabunt promissiones.
13 For God having promised Abraham, since he had no greater one by whom to swear, swore by himself,
Abrahæ namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem juraret, majorem, juravit per semetipsum,
14 saying, If indeed blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee:
dicens: Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.
15 and thus having waited long, he received the promise.
Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.
16 For men swear by the greater: and an oath of confirmation is to them an end to all controversy:
Homines enim per majorem sui jurant: et omnis controversiæ eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est juramentum.
17 but God, in this wishing more abundantly to show forth to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
In quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis hæredibus, immobilitatem consilii sui, interposuit jusjurandum:
18 that through two immutable things in which it was impossible that God should lie, we who have fled may have a strong consolation to lay hold of the hope set before us,
ut per duas res immobiles, quibus impossibile est mentiri Deum, fortissimum solatium habeamus, qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem,
19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is in the veil,
quam sicut anchoram habemus animæ tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,
