Therefore leaving
the
principles
of
the
doctrine
of
Christ,
let us go on unto
perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward
God,
Therefore let us leave
the
elementary
teachings
about
Christ
and
go on to
maturity,
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in
God,
Of
the
doctrine
of
baptisms, and
of
laying on of hands, and
of
resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment.
instruction
about
baptisms, the
laying on of hands, the
resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
And this will
we do, if God permit
.
And this we will
do, if God permits
.
For
it is impossible for those who were
once enlightened, and
have tasted of
the heavenly gift, and
were
made
partakers
of
the Holy Ghost
,
It is impossible for those who have
once been
enlightened, who
have tasted the heavenly gift, who
have
shared
in
the Holy Spirit
,
And
have tasted the good
word of God ,
and the powers of the world
to
come,
who
have tasted the goodness
of
the
word of God and the powers of the coming
age—
If
they
shall
fall
away ,
to renew
them
again
unto
repentance ;
seeing
they crucify
to
themselves the Son of God afresh,
and put
him to an
open shame.
and
then
have
fallen
away —
to be
restored
to
repentance ,
because
they themselves are
crucifying
the Son of God all
over
again
and subjecting
Him to open shame.
For the
earth
which
drinketh
in the rain that
cometh
oft
upon
it ,
and bringeth
forth
herbs
meet
for them
by
whom it is dressed,
receiveth
blessing from
God :
For land
that
drinks
in the rain often
falling
on
it and that
produces
a
crop
useful
to
those
for whom it is tended
receives
the
blessing of
God .
But that which
beareth
thorns and briers
is rejected
, and is nigh
unto
cursing;
whose
end is
to
be burned.
But land
that produces
thorns and thistles
is worthless
, and its
curse
is imminent.
In
the
end it
will
be burned.
But
, beloved, we are persuaded
better things of
you,
and
things that accompany salvation ,
though
we
thus
speak
.
Even
though
we
speak
like
this
, beloved, we are convinced
of
better things in
your
case—
things that accompany salvation.
For God is not unrighteous
to
forget your work and labour
of
love ,
which
ye
have shewed
toward
his name ,
in
that
ye
have ministered to the saints ,
and do minister
.
For God is not unjust.
He
will
not
forget your work and the
love you
have shown
for
His name as
you
have ministered to the saints and continue
to
do so
.
And
we desire
that
every
one
of you do
shew
the
same diligence to the full
assurance
of
hope
unto
the
end :
We want
each
of you to
show
this
same diligence to the very
end ,
in
order
to
make
your
hope
sure.
That
ye
be
not slothful
, but followers
of
them
who through faith and patience inherit the
promises
.
Then
you
will
not be
sluggish
, but will
imitate
those
who through faith and patience inherit what
has
been
promised
.
For
when God made promise to Abraham, because
he could
swear
by
no greater, he sware
by himself,
When God made His
promise to Abraham, since
He had
no one
greater to
swear
by
, He swore
by Himself,
Saying, Surely
blessing
I will bless thee,
and multiplying
I
will
multiply thee
.
saying, “
I will surely
bless you
and multiply your
descendants
. ”
And so, after he
had
patiently endured
, he
obtained the promise.
And so Abraham
, after waiting
patiently, obtained the promise.
For
men verily
swear by the
greater :
and an
oath for
confirmation is
to them
an
end of
all strife
.
Men swear by someone
greater than
themselves,
and their
oath serves
as
a
confirmation to end all argument
.
Wherein
God ,
willing
more
abundantly
to shew
unto
the heirs
of promise
the immutability
of his
counsel
, confirmed
it by
an oath :
So
when
God wanted
to make
the unchanging
nature
of His
purpose
very
clear
to
the heirs
of the
promise
, He
guaranteed
it with
an oath .
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 :
Thus
by two unchangeable
things in which it is
impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take
hold of
the hope set before us may
be
strongly
encouraged.
Which
hope
we have as an anchor of
the soul, both
sure
and
stedfast,
and which
entereth
into
that
within
the veil;
We have this
hope
as an anchor for
the soul, firm
and secure.
It
enters
the inner
sanctuary
behind
the
curtain,
Whither
the
forerunner is
for
us
entered ,
even
Jesus,
made
an
high priest for
ever
after
the order of Melchisedec
.
where
Jesus
our
forerunner has
entered on
our
behalf.
He
has
become
a
high priest forever
in
the order of Melchizedek
.
