\subsection{Hebrews 6}
\VS{1} Therefore leaving the word of Christ from the beginning, let us be carried 
towards the completion\footnote{or ``perfection''}, not laying down another 
foundation from dead works, and of faith upon God, 
\VS{2} of baptisms, of 
teachings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of 
eternal judgment. 
\VS{3} And let us do this [thing], supposing that God permit it. 
\VS{4} For [it is] impossible those once being enlightened, having tasted of the 
heavenly gift and having become partakers of [the] Holy Spirit, 
\VS{5} and having 
tasted the good [things] of God, [the] word to power of the coming age, 
\VS{6} and having 
fallen away, again to be renewing to repentance, crucifying in himself the 
son of God and holding him in contempt. 
\VS{7} For the land having drunk 
the rain often coming upon it, and bearing useful herbs to those through 
whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God. 
\VS{8} But [it] having 
born thorns and thistles [is] worthless and nearly [a] curse, whose end is to 
burning. 
\VS{9} But we are\footnote{or ``have been''} persuaded concerning 
you, agape-beloved, the better and coming salvation, if also we speak 
likewise. 
\VS{10} For God [is] not unjust [so as] to neglect your work and the 
agape-love you show in\footnote{or ``for''} his name, having served the holy 
[ones] and [still] serving. 
\VS{11} But we desire each [of you] to show the same zeal towards the 
certainty of hope until completion, 
\VS{12} in order that you not become 
lazy, but imitators of those [who] through faith and forbearance inherit the 
good-news. 
\VS{13} For to Abraham God promised, since by no one greater did 
he have to swear, he has sworn according to himself:

\begin{verse}
\VS{14} Surely blessing will I bless you \\
And multiplying will I multiply you.
\end{verse}

\VS{15} And thus having waited he attained the promise. 
\VS{16} For men 
swear by the greater [one], and of every dispute the oath [is] the limit for 
confirmation; 
\VS{17} in what the greater [oath] God wishing to show those 
inheriting [it] the unchangeableness of the good-news of his intention acted as 
collateral by oath, 
\VS{18} in order that through two unchangeable [things], in 
which [it is] impossible [for] God to be false, we the [ones] taking refuge have strong 
encouragement to take hold of the hope in which we are involved, 
\VS{19} which we have as [an] anchor of the psyche-life\fnPsyche{} safe and firm and entering into the inner [things] of the veil, 
\VS{20} where [the] forerunner in our behalf entered, Jesus, 
according to the manner [of] Melchizedek becoming chief-priest to eternity.
