Iḇ`rim (Hebrews) 6
6
1Therefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Messiah, let us go on to perfection,#See Mat. 5:48 not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of belief toward Elohim,
2of the teaching of immersions, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment.
3And this we shall do, if Elohim indeed permits.
4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Set-apart Spirit,
5and have tasted the good Word of Elohim and the powers of the age to come,
6and fall away, to renew them again to repentance – having impaled for themselves the Son of Elohim again, and put Him to open shame.#See Heb. 10:26-31
7For ground that is drinking the rain often falling on it, and is bearing plants fit for those by whom it is tilled, receives blessing from Elohim,
8but if it brings forth thorns and thistles,# Gen. 3:18 it is rejected and near to being cursed, and ends up by being burned.
9But although we speak in this way, beloved, we are persuaded, concerning you, of better matters which possess deliverance.
10For Elohim is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love which you have shown toward His Name, in that you have attended to the set-apart ones, and still attend.
11And we desire that each one of you show the same eagerness, to the entire confirmation of expectation until the end,
12in order that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through belief and patience inherit the promises.
13For Elohim, having promised Aḇraham, since He could swear by no one greater, swore by Himself,#See Gen. 22:16
14saying, “Truly, blessing I shall bless you, and increasing I shall increase you.”# Gen. 22:18
15And so, after being patient, he obtained the promise.
16For men do indeed swear by the one greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.
17In this way Elohim, resolving to show even more clearly to the heirs of promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, confirmed it by an oath,
18so that by two unchangeable matters in which it is impossible for Elohim to lie, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the expectation set before us,
19which we have as an anchor of the life, both safe and firm, and entering into that within the veil,
20where יהושע has entered as a forerunner for us, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq.# Psa. 110:4

A Serious Warning Against Falling Away
1 Therefore, leaving behind the elementary message about Christ, let us move on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God, 2teaching about baptisms and laying on of hands, and resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3And this we will do, if God permits. 4For it is impossible concerning those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and become sharers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6and having fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, because they#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“have crucified again”) which is understood as causal have crucified again for themselves the Son of God and held him up to contempt. 7For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those people for whose sake#Literally “for the sake of whom” it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God. 8But if it#*Here “if” is supplied as a component of the participle (“produces”) which is understood as conditional produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to a curse, whose end is for burning.
9But even if we are speaking in this way, dear friends, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and belonging to salvation. 10For God is not unjust, so as to forget your work and the love which you demonstrated for his name by#*Here “by” is supplied as a component of the participle (“having served”) which is understood as means having served the saints, and continuing to serve them. 11And we desire each one of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the full assurance of your hope until the end, 12in order that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
The Reliability of God’s Promise
13For when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the temporal participle (“made a promise”) God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself, 14saying,
“Surely I will greatly bless#Literally “blessing I will bless” you, and I will greatly multiply#Literally “multiplying I will multiply” you.”
15And so, by#*Here “by” is supplied as a component of the participle (“persevering”) which is understood as means persevering, he obtained the promise. 16For people swear by what is greater than themselves, and the oath for confirmation is the end of all dispute for them. 17In the same way God, because he#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“wanted”) which is understood as causal wanted to show even more to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his resolve, guaranteed it with an oath, 18in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge may have powerful encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us, 19which we have like an anchor of the soul, both firm and steadfast, and entering into the inside of the curtain, 20where Jesus, the forerunner for us, entered, because he#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“became”) which is understood as causal became a high priest forever#Literally “to the age” according to the order of Melchizedek.
