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,
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 immersions, also of laying on of hands, also of [the] resurrection of the dead, and of continuous judgment, (aiōnios g166)
baptismatum doctrinæ, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et judicii æterni. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this we will do, if God may permit,
Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.
4 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having also tasted of the heavenly gift, and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
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 and having fallen away, to renew [them] again to conversion, having crucified to themselves the Son of God again, and exposed to public shame.
et prolapsi sunt; rursus renovari ad pœnitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis Filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.
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,
Terra enim sæpe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem a Deo:
8 but that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and near to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
proferens autem spinas ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima: cujus consummatio in combustionem.
9 but we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we 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 labor of love that you showed to His Name, having ministered to the holy ones and ministering;
Non enim injustus Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.
11 and we desire each one of you to show the same diligence, to the full assurance of the hope to the end,
Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eamdem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem:
12 that you may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia hæreditabunt promissiones.
13 For God, having made promise to Abraham, seeing He was not able to swear by [any] greater, swore by Himself,
Abrahæ namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem juraret, majorem, juravit per semetipsum,
14 saying, “Blessing I will indeed bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you”;
dicens: Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.
15 and so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise;
Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.
16 for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,
Homines enim per majorem sui jurant: et omnis controversiæ eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est juramentum.
17 in which God, more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed 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 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],
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 within the veil,
quam sicut anchoram habemus animæ tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,
