Προς Εβραιους 6
1 διο αφεντεσ τον τησ αρχησ του χριστου λογον επι την τελειοτητα φερωμεθα μη παλιν θεμελιον καταβαλλομενοι μετανοιασ απο νεκρων εργων και πιστεωσ επι θεον
Wherefore, dismissing the elementary discourse concerning the Christ, unto maturity, let us be tending, not, again, a foundation, laying down—of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God,
Of immersions—in respect of teaching, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of judgment age-abiding; — (aiōnios g166)
3 και τουτο ποιησωμεν εανπερ επιτρεπη ο θεοσ
And, this, will we do, if at least, God, permit.
4 αδυνατον γαρ τουσ απαξ φωτισθεντασ γευσαμενουσ τε τησ δωρεασ τησ επουρανιου και μετοχουσ γενηθεντασ πνευματοσ αγιου
For it is impossible—as to these who have been, once for all, illuminated, who have tasted also of the heavenly free-gift, and have been made, partners, in a Holy Spirit,
And have tasted God’s utterance to be, sweet, mighty works also of a coming age, (aiōn g165)
6 και παραπεσοντασ παλιν ανακαινιζειν εισ μετανοιαν ανασταυρουντασ εαυτοισ τον υιον του θεου και παραδειγματιζοντασ
And who have fallen away, again, to be remoulding them into repentance; seeing they are again crucifying unto themselves the Son of God, and holding him up as an example.
7 γη γαρ η πιουσα τον επ αυτησ πολλακισ ερχομενον υετον και τικτουσα βοτανην ευθετον εκεινοισ δι ουσ και γεωργειται μεταλαμβανει ευλογιασ απο του θεου
For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;
8 εκφερουσα δε ακανθασ και τριβολουσ αδοκιμοσ και καταρασ εγγυσ ησ το τελοσ εισ καυσιν
But, should it be bringing forth thorns and briars, it is disapproved, and, unto cursing, nigh, —whose end is for burning.
9 πεπεισμεθα δε περι υμων αγαπητοι τα κρεισσονα και εχομενα σωτηριασ ει και ουτωσ λαλουμεν
But we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things which are better and which contain salvation, though, even thus we speak.
10 ου γαρ αδικοσ ο θεοσ επιλαθεσθαι του εργου υμων και του κοπου τησ αγαπησ ησ ενεδειξασθε εισ το ονομα αυτου διακονησαντεσ τοισ αγιοισ και διακονουντεσ
For, not unrighteous, is God, to be forgetful of your work and of the love which ye have shewn forth for his name, in that ye have ministered unto the saints, and are ministering,
11 επιθυμουμεν δε εκαστον υμων την αυτην ενδεικνυσθαι σπουδην προσ την πληροφοριαν τησ ελπιδοσ αχρι τελουσ
But we covet that, each one of you, be shewing forth the same diligence, unto the full assurance of the hope throughout:
12 ινα μη νωθροι γενησθε μιμηται δε των δια πιστεωσ και μακροθυμιασ κληρονομουντων τασ επαγγελιασ
In order that, not slothful, ye may become, but imitators of them who, through faith and patience, were becoming heirs of the promises.
13 τω γαρ αβρααμ επαγγειλαμενοσ ο θεοσ επει κατ ουδενοσ ειχεν μειζονοσ ομοσαι ωμοσεν καθ εαυτου
For, when to Abraham God made promise, seeing he had no one greater by whom to swear, He sware, by himself, —
14 λεγων η μην ευλογων ευλογησω σε και πληθυνων πληθυνω σε
saying—Truly, if blessing I will bless thee, and, multiplying, I will multiply thee;
15 και ουτωσ μακροθυμησασ επετυχεν τησ επαγγελιασ
And, thus, being patient, he attained unto the promise.
16 ανθρωποι μεν γαρ κατα του μειζονοσ ομνυουσιν και πασησ αυτοισ αντιλογιασ περασ εισ βεβαιωσιν ο ορκοσ
For, men, by the greater one, swear, and, with them, an end of all gainsaying by way of confirmation is, the oath:
17 εν ω περισσοτερον βουλομενοσ ο θεοσ επιδειξαι τοισ κληρονομοισ τησ επαγγελιασ το αμεταθετον τησ βουλησ αυτου εμεσιτευσεν ορκω
Wherein God, being, more abundantly disposed to shew forth unto the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his counsel, mediated, with an oath, —
18 ινα δια δυο πραγματων αμεταθετων εν οισ αδυνατον ψευσασθαι θεον ισχυραν παρακλησιν εχωμεν οι καταφυγοντεσ κρατησαι τησ προκειμενησ ελπιδοσ
In order that, through means of two unchangeable things, in which it was impossible for God to make himself false, a mighty consolation, we might have, who have fled along to grasp, the fore-lying hope,
19 ην ωσ αγκυραν εχομεν τησ ψυχησ ασφαλη τε και βεβαιαν και εισερχομενην εισ το εσωτερον του καταπετασματοσ
Which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into the interior of the veil:
