1 Wherefore , leaving G863 the word G3056 of the beginning of the Christ Χριστοῦ Christou G5547 , let us go on [ to what belongs] to full growth, 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 faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 in God θεόν, theon G2316 , 2 of [ the ] doctrine of washings , and of imposition 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 it is impossible ἀδύνατον adunaton G102 to renew again to repentance those once ἅπαξ hapax G530 enlightened φωτισθέντας, phōtisthentas G5461 , and who have tasted G1089 of the heavenly ἐπουρανίου epouraniou G2032 gift δωρεᾶς dōreas G1431 , and have been made partakers μετόχους metochous G3353 of [ the ] Holy ἁγίου hagiou G40 Spirit πνεύματος pneumatos G4151 , 6 and have fallen away , crucifying for themselves [ as they do ] the Son υἱὸν huion G5207 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 , and making a show of [ him ]. 7 For ground G1093 which drinks G4095 the rain ὑετὸν hu'eton G5205 which comes G2064 often πολλάκις pollakis G4178 upon it , and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes δι᾽ di᾽ G1223 also G2532 it is tilled , partakes of blessing εὐλογίας eulogias G2129 from God θεοῦ· theou G2316 ; 8 but bringing forth thorns ἀκάνθας akanthas G173 and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse κατάρας kataras G2671 , whose end τέλος telos G5056 [ is ] to be burned . 9 But we are persuaded G3982 concerning περὶ peri G4012 you , beloved ἀγαπητοί, agapētoi G27 , better things , and connected with salvation σωτηρίας, sōtērias G4991 , even G2532 if we speak λαλοῦμεν. laloumen G2980 thus G3779 . 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 have shewn to his name ὄνομα onoma G3686 , having ministered διακονήσαντες diakonēsantes G1247 to the saints ἁγίοις hagiois G40 , and [still] ministering διακονοῦντες. diakonountes G1247 . 11 But we desire ἐπιθυμοῦμεν epithumoumen G1937 earnestly that each one G1538 of you shew the same αὐτὴν autēn G846 diligence G4710 to the full πληροφορίαν plērophorian G4136 assurance G4136 of hope ἐλπίδος elpidos G1680 unto the end τέλους· telous G5056 ; 12 that ye be not sluggish νωθροὶ nōthroi G3576 , but imitators μιμηταὶ mimētai G3402 of those who through faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 and patience μακροθυμίας makrothumias G3115 have been inheritors of the promises G1860 . 13 For God θεός, theos G2316 , having promised ἐπαγγειλάμενος epangeilamenos G1861 to Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 , since he had no greater G3173 to swear ὀμόσαι, omosai G3660 by , swore ὤμοσεν ōmosen G3660 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 had long patience G3114 , he got the promise ἐπαγγελίας. epangelias G1860 . 16 For men G444 indeed swear ὀμνύουσιν, omnuousin G3660 by a greater G3173 , and with them the oath ὅρκος· horkos G3727 is a term to all dispute , as making matters sure. 17 Wherein God θεὸς theos G2316 , willing G1014 to shew more abundantly to the heirs κληρονόμοις klēronomois G2818 of the promise ἐπαγγελίας epangelias G1860 the unchangeableness of his purpose βουλῆς boulēs G1012 , intervened by an oath ὅρκῳ, horkō G3727 , 18 that by two δύο duo G1417 unchangeable things G3739 , in which [ it was ] impossible ἀδύνατον adunaton G102 that God θεόν, theon G2316 should lie ψεύσασθαι pseusasthai G5574 , we might have a strong ἰσχυρὰν ischuran G2478 encouragement παράκλησιν paraklēsin G3874 , who have fled for refuge to lay hold κρατῆσαι kratēsai G2902 on the hope ἐλπίδος· elpidos G1680 set προκειμένης prokeimenēs G4295 before us , 19 which we have as anchor G45 of the soul ψυχῆς psuchēs G5590 , both secure and firm , and entering εἰσερχομένην eiserchomenēn G1525 into that within the veil καταπετάσματος, katapetasmatos G2665 , 20 where ὅπου hopou G3699 Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 is entered εἰσῆλθεν eisēlthen G1525 as forerunner for us , become γενόμενος genomenos G1096 for ever a high ἀρχιερεὺς archiereus G749 priest G749 according κατὰ kata G2596 to the order τάξιν taxin G5010 of Melchisedec. ← Hebrews 5 Hebrews 7 → Commentaries on Hebrews 6 Darby Bible — 1889 — Public Domain
