< Hebrews 6 >
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward 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 of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios )
of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. (aiōnios )
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 enlightened, and have tasted of 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 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn )
and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: (aiōn )
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
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 which drinks in the rain that comes oft on it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives 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 bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is near to cursing; whose 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, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
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 do show the same diligence to the full assurance of 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 That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he 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, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes.
16 For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
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, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by 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 was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on 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 hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that 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 is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (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 )
