CHAP. VI.
1 Hee briefly toucheth the childish slouthfulnes of the Hebrewes,
4 and terrifieth them with seuere threatnings: 7 He
stirreth them vp to endeuour in time to go forward: 9 He
hopeth well of them: 13 He alleageth Abrahams example:
17 and compareth faith that taketh holde on the worde,
19 vnto an Ancre.
1 Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the note beginning
of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection,
note not laying againe þe; foundation of rep&ebar;tance
fr&obar; dead workes, & of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptismes, and laying
on of hands, & of the resurrection from the dead,
and of eternall iudgement.
3 And this will we doe if God permit.
4 note noteFor it is note impossible that they which were
once lightened, & haue note tasted of the heauenly
Sinne against the holie Ghost.
gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost,
5 And haue tasted of the good word of God,
and of the powers of the world to come,
6 If they fal away, should be renued againe by
repentance: seeing they note crucifie againe to themselues
the Sonne of God, & make a mocke of him.
7 noteFor the earth which drinketh in the raine
that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth foorth
herbes meete for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth
blessing of God.
8 But that which beareth thornes and briars,
is reproued, and is neere vnto cursing, whose end
is to be burned.
9 noteBut beloued, we haue perswaded our
selues better things of you, and such as accompany
saluation, though we thus speake.
10 noteFor God is not vnrighteous, that hee
should forget your worke, and labour of loue,
which ye shewed toward his Name, in that ye
haue ministred vnto the Saints, and yet minister.
11 And we desire that euery one of you shew
the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope
vnto the ende,
12 noteThat ye be not slouthfull, but followers
of them, which through faith and patience, inherite
the promises.
13 noteFor when God made the promise to Abraham,
because he had no greater to sweare by,
he sware by himselfe,
14 Saying, note Surely I wil note aboundantly blesse
thee and multiplie thee marueilously.
15 And so after that he had taried patiently,
he enioyed the promes.
16 For men verely sweare by him that is greater
then themselues, and an othe for confirmation
is among them an ende of all strife.
17 So God, willing more note aboundantly to
shew vnto the heires of promes the stablenes of
his counsell, bound himselfe by an othe,
18 That by two immutable things, wherein it
is vnpossible that God should lye, we might haue
strong consolation, which haue our refuge to lay
holde vpon that hope that is set before vs,
19 noteWhich hope we haue, as an ancre of the
soule, both sure and stedfast, and it entreth into
that which is within the vaile,
20 noteWhither the forerunner is for vs entred
in, euen Iesus that is made an hie Priest for euer
after the order of Melchi-sedec.
