< Hebrews 6 >

1 Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,
Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha,
2 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on also of hands, of rising again also of the dead, and of judgment age-during, (aiōnios g166)
and for the doctrine of ablution and of imposition of the hand, and for the resurrection from the place of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal? (aiōnios g166)
3 and this we will do, if God may permit,
If the Lord permit, we will do this.
4 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became of the Holy Spirit,
But they who once unto baptism have descended, and have tasted the gift which is from heaven, and have received the Spirit of Holiness,
5 and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the coming age, (aiōn g165)
and have tasted the good word of Aloha, and the power of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
6 and having fallen away, again to renew [them] to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.
(and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God.
7 For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,
For the earth that hath drunk the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha;
8 and that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.
9 and we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,
But we are persuaded concerning you, my brethren, those things which are good, and that draw nigh unto salvation, though thus we speak.
10 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;
For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister.
11 and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end,
But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end;
12 that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
and that it be not cut off from you, but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience have become heirs of the promise.
13 For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,
For when to Abraham Aloha gave promise, because there was no one greater than himself to swear by, he sware by his own Self,
14 saying, 'Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;'
and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;
And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise.
16 for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation [is] the oath,
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and every controversy which occurs among them hath a sure conclusion in the oath.
17 in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,
On this account Aloha, willing abundantly to manifest to the heirs of the promise that his engagement is changeless, hath bound it in an oath:
18 that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before [us],
that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us,
19 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,
which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil,
20 whither a forerunner for us did enter — Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become — to the age. (aiōn g165)
where Jeshu hath first entered for us, and become the Priest for ever in the likeness of MALKI-ZEDEK. (aiōn g165)
