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, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in 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)
and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal 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 it is impossible to renew to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5 and [the] goodness having tasted of God’s declaration [the] power also [of the] coming age — (aiōn g165)
who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, (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 yet have fallen away, since, to their own harm, they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and exposing him to public 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 land that has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives a 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 land that bears thorns and thistles is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its 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.
Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that pertain to salvation.
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 unjust; he will not forget your work and the labor of love that you have shown toward his name by serving the saints, as you still do.
11 We desire now each of you the same to show earnestness toward the full assurance of the hope unto [the] end;
We want each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope to the very end,
12 so that not sluggish you may be, imitators however of those through faith and patience inheriting the promises.
so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
13 For to Abraham having made His promise God, since by no [one] He had greater to swear, He swore by Himself
When God made his promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, 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 surely bless yoʋ and multiply yoʋ.”
15 And thus having waited patiently he obtained the promise.
And so Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.
16 Men (indeed *k*) for by [one] greater swear, and in all their disputes finally [comes] to confirmation in the oath;
People swear by someone greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an 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,
So when God wanted to show the unchangeable nature of his purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it 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;
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge would have strong encouragement 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,
We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul. It enters into the inner sanctuary behind the veil,
