< Hebrews 6 >
1 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,
Wherfore let vs leave ye doctryne pertayninge to the beginninge of a Christen man and let vs go vnto perfeccio and now no more laye the foundacio of repentaunce from deed workes and of fayth towarde God
2 and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios )
of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. (aiōnios )
3 And this we will do, if God permits.
And so will we do yf God permitte.
4 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,
For it is not possible yt they which were once lyghted and have tasted of the hevenly gyft and were become partetakers of the holy goost
5 who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, (aiōn )
and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: (aiōn )
6 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.
yf they faule shuld be renued agayne vnto repentaunce: for as moche as they have (as concerninge them selves) crucified the sonne of God a fresshe makynge a mocke of him.
7 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.
For that erth which drinketh in the rayne wich cometh ofte vpon it and bringeth forth erbes mete for them that dresse it receaveth blessynge of god.
8 But land that bears thorns and thistles is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its end is to be burned.
But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned.
9 Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that pertain to salvation.
Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake.
10 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.
For god is not vnrighteous that he shuld forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of love which love shewed in his name which have ministred vnto the saynctes and yet minister
11 We want each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope to the very end,
Yee and we desyre that every one of you shew the same diligence to the stablysshynge of hope even vnto the ende:
12 so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses.
13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
For when god made promes to Abraham because he had no greater thinge to sweare by he sware by him silfe
14 saying, “I will surely bless yoʋ and multiply yoʋ.”
sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede.
15 And so Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise.
And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes.
16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
Men verely sweare by him that is greater then them selves and an othe to confyrme the thynge ys amonge them an ende of all stryfe.
17 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,
So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe
18 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.
that by two immutable thinges (in which it was vnpossible that god shuld lye) we myght have parfect consolacion which have fled for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs
19 We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul. It enters into the inner sanctuary behind the veil,
which hope we have as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast. Which hope also entreth in into tho thynges which are with in the vayle
20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, because he has become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn )
whither ye fore runner is for vs entred in I mea Iesus that is made an hye prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn )
