Hebrews 6

¹ Wherefore, leaving the word dealing with the rudiments of Christ, we should be brought on to maturity, (not again disrupting the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith on God, ² of the teaching of baptizings, besides the imposition of hands, and the resurrection of the dead, and of judgment eonian). ³ And this will we be doing, that is, if God may be permitting. ⁴ For it is impossible for those once enlightened, besides tasting the celestial gratuity and becoming partakers of holy spirit, ⁵ and tasting the ideal declaration of God, besides the powerful deeds of the impending eon, ⁶ and falling aside, to be renewing them again to repentance while crucifying for themselves the Son of God again and holding Him up to infamy. ⁷ For land which is drinking the shower coming often on it, and bringing forth herbage fit for those because of whom it is being farmed also, is partaking of blessing from God; ⁸ yet, bringing forth thorns and star thistles, it is disqualified and near a curse, whose consummation is burning. ⁹ Yet we are persuaded of better things concerning you, beloved, and those which have to do with salvation, even if we are speaking thus. ¹⁰ For God is not unjust, to be forgetting your work and the love which you display for His name when you serve the saints, and are serving. ¹¹ Now we are yearning for each one of you to be displaying the same diligence toward the assurance of the expectation until the consummation, ¹² that you may not be becoming dull. Now be imitators of those who through faith and patience are enjoying the allotment of the promises. ¹³ For God, promising Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, swears by Himself, ¹⁴ saying, "If, in sooth, it is blessing, I shall be blessing you, and multiplying, I shall be multiplying you!" ¹⁵ And thus, being patient, he happened on the promise. ¹⁶ For men are swearing by a greater, and to them an oath for confirmation is an end of all contradiction, ¹⁷ in which God, intending more superabundantly to exhibit to the enjoyers of the allotment of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposes with an oath, ¹⁸ that by two immutable matters, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong consolation, who are fleeing for refuge to lay hold of the expectation lying before us, ¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, both secure and confirmed, and entering into the interior beyond the curtain, ²⁰ where the Forerunner, Jesus, entered for our sakes, becoming Chief Priest according to the order of Melchizedek for the eon.
