1 Wherefore omitting the discourse about the note first
principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us proceed to
perfection: not laying again the foundation of repentance
from dead works,
2 and of faith in God, of the
doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and
of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgement:
(tho' we will do this also, if God permit:
3 ) for
it is impossible that those,
4 who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the holy Spirit,
5 and note of the good word of
God,
6 and the powers of the note gospel-age, and yet fall
away, should be note renewed again to repentance: since
they again crucify note to themselves the Son of God, and
make an open example of Him.
7 For as the earth, which
imbibeth the rain that is frequently coming upon it,
and produceth herbs fit for those by whom it is cultivated,
receiveth a blessing from God:
8 but that which
bringeth forth thorns and briars, is rejected and near to
a curse, (whose end is note burning) so are they.
9 But,
beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and
things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak
for your caution.
10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and
labor of love, which ye have shewn to his name, by
having ministred to the saints, and yet ministring.
11 And we desire that every one of you would shew the
-- --
same diligence to acquire the full assurance of hope even
unto the end:
12 that ye would not be sluggish, but imitators
of them who through faith and patience are inheriting
the promises.
13 For when God made the note promise to Abraham, because
He could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself,
saying,
14 “Verily blessing I will bless thee, and
multiplying I will multiply thee.”
15 And thus waiting
patiently he obtained the promise.
16 For men note swear by
a greater Being, and an oath for confirmation is to them
an end of all controversy.
17 Wherefore God being willing
more abundantly to manifest unto the heirs of the promise
the immutability of his counsel, note confirmed it with an
oath:
18 that by two immutable things, in which it is
impossible for God to note fail, we might have strong consolation,
who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the
hope set before us;
19 which we have as an anchor of the
soul note safe and stedfast, and which entereth note within the
veil.
20 Whither Jesus our fore-runner is entered for us,
being made an high-priest for ever, after the order of
Melchisedec.
