\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.
