Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 6:1 | Because of this, having left the discourse of the beginning of Christ, let us be borne on to full growth, not laying down again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, |
| 6:2 | of the baptisms, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of dead ones, and of eternal judgment. |
| 6:3 | And this we will do, if indeed God permits. |
| 6:4 | For it is impossible for those being once enlightened, and having tasted of the heavenly gift, and becoming sharers of the Holy Spirit, |
| 6:5 | and tasting the good Word of God, and the works of power of a coming age, |
| 6:6 | then falling away, it is impossible for them again to renew to repentance, crucifying again for themselves the Son of God, and putting Him to open shame. |
| 6:7 | (For the earth drinking in the rain often coming upon it, and producing plants fit for those for whom it is also worked, receives blessing from God; |
| 6:8 | "but bearing thorns and thistles," it is deemed unfit and near a curse, of which the end is for burning.) Gen. 3:17, 18 |
| 6:9 | But, loved ones, even if we indeed speak so, we have been persuaded better things concerning you, even holding fast salvation. |
| 6:10 | For God is not unjust, to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed to His name, ministering to the saints, and now are ministering. |
| 6:11 | But we desire each of you to show the same eagerness, to the full assurance of the hope to the end; |
| 6:12 | that you not become dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsuffering are inheriting the promises. |
| 6:13 | For God having made promise to Abraham, since He had no greater to swear by, " He swore by Himself," |
| 6:14 | saying, "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you." Gen. 22:16, 17 |
| 6:15 | And so, being long-suffering, he obtained the promise. |
| 6:16 | For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath to make things sure is to them the end of all gainsaying. |
| 6:17 | In which way, desiring to more fully declare to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His counsel, God interposed by an oath, |
| 6:18 | that through two unchangeable things, in which it was not possible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, those having fled to lay hold on the hope set before us , |
| 6:19 | which we have as an anchor of the soul, both certain and sure, and entering into the inner side of the veil, Lev. 16:12 |
| 6:20 | where Jesus entered as forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. |
