Hebrews 6
6
CHAPTER 6
1Therefore we bringing in a word of the beginning of Christ, be we born to the perfection of him, not again laying the foundament of penance from dead works, and of the faith to God,
2and of teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of rising again of dead men, and of everlasting doom.
3And this thing we shall do, if God shall suffer.
4But it is impossible, that they that be once enlightened [or illumined], and have tasted also an heavenly gift, and be made partners of the Holy Ghost,
5and nevertheless have tasted the good word of God, and the virtues of the world to coming [or to come],
6and be slid far away, that they be renewed again to penance. Which again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and have him to scorn.
7For the earth that drinketh rain oft coming on it, and bringeth forth covenable herb, to them of which it is tilled, taketh blessing of God.
8But that that is bringing forth thorns and briars, is reprovable, and next to curse, whose ending shall be into burning.
9But, ye most dearworthy, we trust of you better things, and nearer to health, though we speak so.
10For God is not unjust, that he forget your work and love, which ye have showed in his name; for ye have ministered to saints, and minister.
11And we covet that each of you show the same busyness to the [full]-filling of hope into the end;
12that ye be not made slow, but also pursuers of them, which by faith and patience shall inherit the promises.
13For God promising to Abraham, for he had none greater, by whom he should swear, swore by himself,
14and said, I blessing shall bless thee, and I multiplying shall multiply thee;
15and so he long abiding had the promise [or got repromission].
16For men swear by a greater than themselves, and the end of all their plea, [or all their controversy, or debate], is an oath to confirmation.
17In which thing God willing to show plenteouslier, to the heirs of his promise the firmness [or the unmoveableness] of his counsel, put betwixt an oath,
18that by two things unmoveable, by which it is impossible that God lie, we have strongest solace, [or comfort], we that flee together to hold the hope that is put forth to us.
19Which hope as an anchor we have secure to the soul, and firm, and going into the inner things of hiding;
20where the before-goer, Jesus, that is made bishop without end by the order of Melchizedek, entered for us.
