Hebrews 6

1 For this reason, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, we may advance to perfection, not laying again a foundation of conversion from dead works, and of faith on God,

διο αφεντες τον της αρχης του χριστου λογον επι την τελειοτητα φερωμεθα μη παλιν θεμελιον καταβαλλομενοι μετανοιας απο νεκρων εργων και πιστεως επι θεον

2 of the teaching of immersions, also of laying on of hands, also of [the] resurrection of the dead, and of continuous judgment, (aiōnios g166)

βαπτισμων διδαχης επιθεσεως τε χειρων αναστασεως τε νεκρων και κριματος αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)

3 and this we will do, if God may permit,

και τουτο ποιησωμεν εανπερ επιτρεπη ο θεος

4 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having also tasted of the heavenly gift, and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

αδυνατον γαρ τους απαξ φωτισθεντας γευσαμενους τε της δωρεας της επουρανιου και μετοχους γενηθεντας πνευματος αγιου

5 and tasted the good saying of God, also the powers of the coming age, (aiōn g165)

και καλον γευσαμενους θεου ρημα δυναμεις τε μελλοντος αιωνος (aiōn g165)

6 and having fallen away, to renew [them] again to conversion, having crucified to themselves the Son of God again, and exposed to public shame.

και παραπεσοντας παλιν ανακαινιζειν εις μετανοιαν ανασταυρουντας εαυτοις τον υιον του θεου και παραδειγματιζοντας

7 For the earth, having drunk in the rain coming on it many times, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom it is also dressed, partakes of blessing from God,

γη γαρ η πιουσα τον επ αυτης πολλακις ερχομενον υετον και τικτουσα βοτανην ευθετον εκεινοις δι ους και γεωργειται μεταλαμβανει ευλογιας απο του θεου

8 but that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and near to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;

εκφερουσα δε ακανθας και τριβολους αδοκιμος και καταρας εγγυς ης το τελος εις καυσιν

9 but we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,

πεπεισμεθα δε περι υμων αγαπητοι τα κρεισσονα και εχομενα σωτηριας ει και ουτως λαλουμεν

10 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that you showed to His Name, having ministered to the holy ones and ministering;

ου γαρ αδικος ο θεος επιλαθεσθαι του εργου υμων και του κοπου της αγαπης ης ενεδειξασθε εις το ονομα αυτου διακονησαντες τοις αγιοις και διακονουντες

11 and we desire each one of you to show the same diligence, to the full assurance of the hope to the end,

επιθυμουμεν δε εκαστον υμων την αυτην ενδεικνυσθαι σπουδην προς την πληροφοριαν της ελπιδος αχρι τελους

12 that you may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

ινα μη νωθροι γενησθε μιμηται δε των δια πιστεως και μακροθυμιας κληρονομουντων τας επαγγελιας

13 For God, having made promise to Abraham, seeing He was not able to swear by [any] greater, swore by Himself,

τω γαρ αβρααμ επαγγειλαμενος ο θεος επει κατ ουδενος ειχεν μειζονος ομοσαι ωμοσεν καθ εαυτου

14 saying, “Blessing I will indeed bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you”;

λεγων η μην ευλογων ευλογησω σε και πληθυνων πληθυνω σε

15 and so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise;

και ουτως μακροθυμησας επετυχεν της επαγγελιας

16 for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,

ανθρωποι μεν γαρ κατα του μειζονος ομνυουσιν και πασης αυτοις αντιλογιας περας εις βεβαιωσιν ο ορκος

17 in which God, more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed by an oath,

εν ω περισσοτερον βουλομενος ο θεος επιδειξαι τοις κληρονομοις της επαγγελιας το αμεταθετον της βουλης αυτου εμεσιτευσεν ορκω

18 that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong comfort, having fled for refuge, to lay hold on the hope being set before [us],

ινα δια δυο πραγματων αμεταθετων εν οις αδυνατον ψευσασθαι θεον ισχυραν παρακλησιν εχωμεν οι καταφυγοντες κρατησαι της προκειμενης ελπιδος

19 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into that within the veil,

ην ως αγκυραν εχομεν της ψυχης ασφαλη τε και βεβαιαν και εισερχομενην εις το εσωτερον του καταπετασματος

20 to where a forerunner entered for us—Jesus, having become Chief Priest throughout the age after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)

οπου προδρομος υπερ ημων εισηλθεν ιησους κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ αρχιερευς γενομενος εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
