1 Wherefore leaving G863 the doctrine of the first principles of Christ Χριστοῦ Christou G5547 , let us press on unto perfection; not laying again πάλιν palin G3825 a foundation θεμέλιον themelion G2310 of repentance μετανοίας metanoias G3341 from dead νεκρῶν nekrōn G3498 works ἔργων ergōn G2041 , and of faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 toward God θεόν, theon G2316 , 2 of the teaching διδαχῆς, didachēs G1322 of baptisms, and of laying ἐπιθέσεώς epitheseōs G1936 on of hands χειρῶν, cheirōn G5495 , and of resurrection ἀναστάσεώς anastaseōs G386 of the dead νεκρῶν, nekrōn G3498 , and of eternal αἰωνίου. aiōniou G166 judgment κρίματος krimatos G2917 . 3 And this will we do , if God θεός. theos G2316 permit ἐπιτρέπῃ epitrepē G2010 . 4 For as touching those who were once ἅπαξ hapax G530 enlightened φωτισθέντας, phōtisthentas G5461 and tasted G1089 of the heavenly ἐπουρανίου epouraniou G2032 gift δωρεᾶς dōreas G1431 , and were made partakers μετόχους metochous G3353 of the Holy ἁγίου hagiou G40 Spirit πνεύματος pneumatos G4151 , 6 and then fell away , it is impossible to renew them again πάλιν palin G3825 unto repentance μετάνοιαν metanoian G3341 ; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son υἱὸν huion G5207 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 afresh, and put him to an open shame . 7 For the land Γῆ Gē G1093 which hath drunk πιοῦσα piousa G4095 the rain ὑετὸν hu'eton G5205 that cometh oft upon it , and bringeth forth G5088 herbs meet for them for whose sake δι᾽ di᾽ G1223 it is also G2532 tilled , receiveth blessing εὐλογίας eulogias G2129 from God θεοῦ· theou G2316 : 8 but if it beareth thorns ἀκάνθας akanthas G173 and thistles , it is rejected and nigh unto a curse κατάρας kataras G2671 ; whose end τέλος telos G5056 is to be burned . 9 But , beloved ἀγαπητοί, agapētoi G27 , we are persuaded G3982 better things of you , and things that accompany salvation σωτηρίας, sōtērias G4991 , though we thus G3779 speak λαλοῦμεν. laloumen G2980 : 10 for God θεὸς theos G2316 is not unrighteous G94 to forget ἐπιλαθέσθαι epilathesthai G1950 your work ἔργου ergou G2041 and the love ἀγάπης agapēs G26 which ye showed toward his name ὄνομα onoma G3686 , in that ye ministered διακονήσαντες diakonēsantes G1247 unto the saints ἁγίοις hagiois G40 , and still do minister διακονοῦντες. diakonountes G1247 . 11 And we desire ἐπιθυμοῦμεν epithumoumen G1937 that each one G1538 of you may show ἐνδείκνυσθαι endeiknusthai G1731 the same αὐτὴν autēn G846 diligence G4710 unto the fulness of hope ἐλπίδος elpidos G1680 even to the end τέλους· telous G5056 : 12 that ye be not sluggish νωθροὶ nōthroi G3576 , but imitators μιμηταὶ mimētai G3402 of them who through faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 and patience μακροθυμίας makrothumias G3115 inherit G2816 the promises G1860 . 13 For when God θεός, theos G2316 made promise ἐπαγγειλάμενος epangeilamenos G1861 to Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 , since he could swear G3660 by none G3762 greater G3173 , he sware by himself , 14 saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , Surely blessing G2127 I will bless G2127 thee, and multiplying πληθύνων plēthunōn G4129 I will multiply πληθυνῶ plēthunō G4129 thee. 15 And thus οὕτως houtōs G3779 , having patiently endured, he obtained ἐπέτυχεν epetuchen G2013 the promise ἐπαγγελίας. epangelias G1860 . 16 For men G444 swear ὀμνύουσιν, omnuousin G3660 by the greater G3173 : and in every dispute of theirs the oath ὅρκος· horkos G3727 is final for confirmation βεβαίωσιν bebaiōsin G951 . 17 Wherein God θεὸς theos G2316 , being minded to show ἐπιδεῖξαι epideixai G1925 more abundantly unto the heirs κληρονόμοις klēronomois G2818 of the promise ἐπαγγελίας epangelias G1860 the immutability of his counsel G1012 , interposed with an oath ὅρκῳ, horkō G3727 ; 18 that by two δύο duo G1417 immutable things G3739 , in which it is impossible ἀδύνατον adunaton G102 for God θεόν, theon G2316 to lie ψεύσασθαι pseusasthai G5574 , we may have a strong ἰσχυρὰν ischuran G2478 encouragement παράκλησιν paraklēsin G3874 , who have fled for refuge to lay hold κρατῆσαι kratēsai G2902 of the hope ἐλπίδος· elpidos G1680 set προκειμένης prokeimenēs G4295 before us : 19 which we have as an anchor G45 of the soul ψυχῆς psuchēs G5590 , a hope both sure and stedfast and entering εἰσερχομένην eiserchomenēn G1525 into that which is within the veil καταπετάσματος, katapetasmatos G2665 ; 20 whither as a forerunner Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 entered εἰσῆλθεν eisēlthen G1525 for us , having become γενόμενος genomenos G1096 a high ἀρχιερεὺς archiereus G749 priest G749 for ever after the order τάξιν taxin G5010 of Melchizedek Μελχισέδεκ Melchisedek G3198 . ← Hebrews 5 Hebrews 7 → Commentaries on Hebrews 6 American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
