Hebrews 6
1 Therefore having left the beginning of Christ [of the] teaching to maturity we may go on not again a foundation laying of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
2 about baptisms (about teaching, *NK(o)*) about laying on then of hands, about [the] resurrection both of [the] dead and about judgment eternal. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this (we will do *NK(o)*) if indeed if indeed shall permit God.
And this we will do if God permits.
4 [It is] impossible for to those once having been enlightened, having tasted then of the gift heavenly and partakers having become of [the] Spirit Holy
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and [the] goodness having tasted of God’s declaration [the] power also [of the] coming age — (aiōn g165)
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 and then having fallen away — again to restore [them] to repentance crucifying in themselves the Son of God and subjecting [Him] to open shame.
and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
7 Land for having drunk in the upon it coming often rain and producing vegetation useful for those for the sake of whom also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;
For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
8 [That] bringing forth however thorns and thistles [is] worthless and a curse near to, of which the end [is] unto burning.
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 We have been persuaded however concerning you, beloved, [of] [things] better and [things] accompanying salvation, if even like this we speak.
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 Not for unjust [is] God to forget the work of you and (the labor *K*) the love that you have shown toward the name of Him having ministered to the saints and [still] ministering.
For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
11 We desire now each of you the same to show earnestness toward the full assurance of the hope unto [the] end;
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
12 so that not sluggish you may be, imitators however of those through faith and patience inheriting the promises.
that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.
13 For to Abraham having made His promise God, since by no [one] He had greater to swear, He swore by Himself
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
14 saying; (If *N(k)O*) surely blessing I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you;
saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 And thus having waited patiently he obtained the promise.
Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Men (indeed *k*) for by [one] greater swear, and in all their disputes finally [comes] to confirmation in the oath;
For people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 In which more excessive desiring God to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of the purpose of Him guaranteed [it] by an oath,
In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 so that through two things unchangeable, in which [it is] impossible to lie (*n*) [for] God, strong encouragement we may have having fled for refuge to take hold of what is being set before [us] hope;
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
19 which as an anchor we have of the soul sure both and unshakable and entering into that within the veil,
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
