Hebrews 6:8-18

Wycliffe WYC

8 But that that is bringing forth thorns and briers, is reprovable, and next to curse, whose ending shall be into burning.

9 But, ye most dear-worthy, we trust of you better things, and near(er) to health, though we speak so.

10 For God is not unjust, that he forget your work and love, which ye have showed in his name; for ye have ministered to saints, and minister.

11 And we covet that each of you show the same busyness to the filling of hope [to the full-filling of hope] into the end;

12 that ye be not made slow, but also followers of them, which by faith and patience shall inherit the promises.

13 For God promising to Abraham, for he had none greater, by whom he should swear, swore by himself,

14 and said [saying], I blessing shall bless thee, and I multiplying shall multiply thee;

15 and so he long abiding had the promise. [and so he long suffering got repromission.]

16 For men swear by a greater than themselves, and the end of all their plea [and the end of all their controversy, or debate,] is an oath to confirmation.

17 In which thing God willing to show plenteouslier to the heirs of his promise the firmness of his counsel, put betwixt an oath, [+In which thing God willing to show plenteouslier to the heirs of his promise the unmoveableness, or firmness, of his counsel, put between an oath,]

18 that by two things unmoveable, by which it is impossible that God lie, we have a strongest solace, that flee together to hold the hope that is put forth to us. [+that by two things unmoveable, by which it is impossible God for to lie, we have strongest solace, or comfort, which flee together to hold the hope put forth.]

New International Version NIV

8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.

10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.

12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,

14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”

15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.

17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.

18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.
