< Hebrews 6 >

1 therefore to release: leave the/this/who the/this/who beginning the/this/who Christ word upon/to/against the/this/who perfection to bear/lead not again foundation to lay/throw down repentance away from dead work and faith upon/to/against God
Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,
2 baptism (teaching *NK(o)*) laying on and/both hand resurrection and/both dead and judgment eternal (aiōnios g166)
or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this/he/she/it (to do/make: do *NK(o)*) if indeed to permit the/this/who God
And advance we will, if God permits us to do so.
4 unable for the/this/who once to illuminate to taste and/both the/this/who free gift the/this/who heavenly and partaker to be spirit/breath: spirit holy
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and good to taste God declaration power and/both to ensue an age: age (aiōn g165)
and have realized how good the word of God is and how mighty are the powers of the coming Age, and then fell away-- (aiōn g165)
6 and to defect again to restore toward repentance to recrucify themself the/this/who son the/this/who God and to disgrace
it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.
7 earth: country for the/this/who to drink the/this/who upon/to/against it/s/he to come/go often rain and to give birth to crop suitable that through/because of which and to farm to partake praise away from the/this/who God
For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.
8 to bring/carry out then a thorn and thistle failing and curse near which the/this/who goal/tax toward burning
But if it only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be destroyed by fire.
9 to persuade then about you beloved the/this/who greater and to have/be salvation if: even though and thus(-ly) to speak
But we, even while we speak in this tone, have a happier conviction concerning you, my dearly-loved friends--a conviction of things which point towards salvation.
10 no for unjust the/this/who God to forget the/this/who work you and (the/this/who labor *K*) the/this/who love which to show toward the/this/who name it/s/he to serve the/this/who holy: saint and to serve
For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.
11 to long for then each you the/this/who it/s/he to show diligence to/with the/this/who assurance the/this/who hope until goal/tax
But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;
12 in order that/to not dull to be imitator then the/this/who through/because of faith and patience to inherit the/this/who promise
so that you may not become half-hearted, but be imitators of those who through faith and patient endurance are now heirs to the promises.
13 the/this/who for Abraham to profess the/this/who God since according to none to have/be great to swear to swear according to themself
For when God gave the promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
14 to say (if: surely *N(k)O*) certainly to praise/bless to praise/bless you and to multiply to multiply you
saying, "Assuredly I will bless you and bless you, I will increase you and increase you."
15 and thus(-ly) to have patience to obtain the/this/who promise
And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather obtained what God had promised.
16 a human (on the other hand *k*) for according to the/this/who great to swear and all it/s/he dispute end toward confirmation the/this/who oath
For men swear by what is greater than themselves; and with them an oath in confirmation of a statement always puts an end to a dispute.
17 in/on/among which more excessive to plan the/this/who God to show/prove the/this/who heir the/this/who promise the/this/who unchangeable the/this/who plan it/s/he to guarantee oath
In the same way, since it was God's desire to display more convincingly to the heirs of the promise how unchangeable His purpose was,
18 in order that/to through/because of two thing unchangeable in/on/among which unable to lie (the/this/who *n*) God strong encouragement to have/be the/this/who to flee to grasp/seize the/this/who to set before hope
He added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, we may possess mighty encouragement--we who, for safety, have hastened to lay hold of the hope set before us.
19 which as/when anchor to have/be the/this/who soul secure and/both and firm and to enter toward the/this/who inner the/this/who curtain
That hope we have as an anchor of the soul--an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,
20 where(-ever) forerunner above/for me to enter Jesus according to the/this/who order Melchizedek high-priest to be toward the/this/who an age: eternity (aiōn g165)
where Jesus has entered as a forerunner on our behalf, having become, like Melchizedek, a High Priest for ever. (aiōn g165)
