Hebrews 6
1 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
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 of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. (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 so will we do yf God permitte.
And this we will do if God permits.
4 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
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 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.
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 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.
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 But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned.
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake.
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 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
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 Yee and we desyre that every one of you shew the same diligence to the stablysshynge of hope even vnto the ende:
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
12 that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses.
that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.
13 For when god made promes to Abraham because he had no greater thinge to sweare by he sware by him silfe
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
14 sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede.
saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes.
Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 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.
For people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe
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 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
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 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
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;
