< Hebrews 6 >
1 THEREFORE leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios )
and for the doctrine of ablution and of imposition of the hand, and for the resurrection from the place of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal? (aiōnios )
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
If the Lord permit, we will do this.
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,
But they who once unto baptism have descended, and have tasted the gift which is from heaven, and have received the Spirit of Holiness,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn )
and have tasted the good word of Aloha, and the power of the world to come, (aiōn )
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
(and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
For the earth that hath drunk the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha;
8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
But we are persuaded concerning you, my brethren, those things which are good, and that draw nigh unto salvation, though thus we speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end;
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
and that it be not cut off from you, but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience have become heirs of the promise.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
For when to Abraham Aloha gave promise, because there was no one greater than himself to swear by, he sware by his own Self,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and every controversy which occurs among them hath a sure conclusion in the oath.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
On this account Aloha, willing abundantly to manifest to the heirs of the promise that his engagement is changeless, hath bound it in an oath:
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 upon the hope set before us:
that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us,
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil,
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn )
where Jeshu hath first entered for us, and become the Priest for ever in the likeness of MALKI-ZEDEK. (aiōn )
