Hebrews 6
1 So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,
Quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem, ad perfectiora feramur, non rursum iacientes fundamentum poenitentiae ab operibus mortuis, et fidei ad Deum,
2 of the teaching regarding ablutions and the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
baptismatum doctrinae, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et iudicii aeterni. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this we will do, if God permit.
Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.
4 For in the case of those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Impossibile est enim eos, qui semel sunt illuminati, gustaverunt etiam donum caeleste, et participes facti sunt Spiritus sancti,
gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum, virtutesque saeculi venturi, (aiōn g165)
6 and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame.
et prolapsi sunt; rursus renovari ad poenitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.
7 For land that has drunk the showers that now and again fall upon it, and produced vegetation useful for those for whom it was tilled, receives a blessing from God;
Terra enim saepe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et germinans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur: accipit benedictionem a Deo.
8 but if it produces thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be to be burned.
proferens autem spinas, ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima: cuius consummatio in combustionem.
9 But though we thus speak, we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things that accompany salvation.
Confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora, et viciniora saluti: tametsi ita loquimur.
10 For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you showed for his cause, in sending help to your fellow Christians, as you are still doing.
Non enim iniustus est Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.
11 but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end.
Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eandem ostentare solicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem:
12 Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.
ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia hereditabunt promissiones.
13 For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying.
Abrahae namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem iuraret, maiorem, iuravit per semetipsum,
14 Surely I will bless you, and bless you; I will increase you, and increase you.
dicens: Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.
15 And so by patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the promise.
Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.
16 I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
Homines enim per maiorem sui iurant: et omnis controversiae eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est iuramentum.
17 On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;
In quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis heredibus immobilitatem consilii sui, interposuit iusiurandum:
18 that by means of two immutable things - his promise and his oath - in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp 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 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil;
quam sicut anchoram habemus animae tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,
