CHAP. VI.
1 He exhorteth, not to fall back from the faith,
11 but to be steadfast, 12 diligent and patient
to wait upon God, 13 because God is
most sure in his promise.
1 Therefore leaving note the principles
of the doctrine of Christ, let us
go on to perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead
works, and of faith towards God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of
laying on of hands, and of the resurrection
of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
4 For note it is impossible for those who
have been once enlightened, and have
tasted the heavenly gift, and have been
made partakers of the Holy Spirit.
5 And have tasted the good word of
God, and the powers of the world to
come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew
them again to repentance; seeing they
crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh in the
rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs fit for them note by whom it
is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8 But that which beareth thorns and
briers is rejected, and is nigh to cursing;
whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better
things of you, and things that accompany
salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget
your work and labor of love, which
ye have shown towards his name, in that
ye have ministered to the saints, and do
minister.
11 And we desire every one of you to
show the same diligence to the full assurance
of hope to the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers
of them who through faith and patience
inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to
Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, note he swore by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless
thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured,
he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the greater:
and an oath for confirmation is to
them an end of all contradiction.
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly
to show to the heirs of promise the
immutability of his counsel, note confirmed
it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in
which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who
have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the
hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor
of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and
which entereth into that within the vail;
20 Whither the forerunner hath for
us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest
for ever after the order of Melchizedec.
