Hebrews 6
1 Therefore let us leave the commencement of the word of the Messiah, and let us proceed to the completion. Or will ye again lay another foundation for the repentance which is from dead works, and for the faith in God,
ⲁ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲁⲛⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲠⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲣⲱϧⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲥⲉⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ.
2 and for the doctrine of baptism, and for the laying on of a hand, and for the resurrection from the dead, and for the eternal judgment? (aiōnios g166)

3 We will do this, if the Lord permit.

4 But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,

6 cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God.

7 For the earth that drinketh the rain which cometh often upon it, and produceth the herb that is of use to those for whom it is cultivated, receiveth a blessing from God.

8 But if it should put forth thorns and briers, it would have reprobation, and be not far from a curse, and its end would be a burning.

9 But, in regard to you, my brethren, we are persuaded better things, and things pertaining to life, although we thus speak.

10 For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints.
ⲓ̅⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡϧⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲟⲛ.
11 And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end:
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
12 and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
13 For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϭⲟⲥⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
14 and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ.
15 And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁ ⲧⲟⲧϥ ϣⲁϣⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ.
16 For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲁⲩⲱⲣⲕ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲛⲁϣ.
17 Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏ ⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ.
18 so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲭⲱ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲉⲥϫⲟⲣ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲫⲱⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁⲛ.
19 which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧϣⲟϥⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ.
