Hebrews 6

King James Version KJV

1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3 And this will we do, if God permit.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God,

2 and instruction about washings, s'mikhah, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment.

3 And, God willing, this is what we will do.

4 For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh,

5 and tasted the goodness of God's Word and the powers of the 'olam haba -

6 and then have fallen away - it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt.

7 For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God;

8 but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed;w in the end, it will be burned.

9 Now even though we speak this way, dear friends, we are confident that you have the better things that come with being delivered.

10 For God is not so unfair as to forget your work and the love you showed for him in your past service to his people - and in your present service too.

11 However, we want each one of you to keep showing the same diligence right up to the end, when your hope will be realized;

12 so that you will not become sluggish, but will be imitators of those who by their trust and patience are receiving what has been promised.

13 For when God made his promise to Avraham, he swore an oath to do what he had promised; and since there was no one greater than himself for him to swear by, he swore by himself

14 and said, "I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly give you many descendants";

15 and so, after waiting patiently, Avraham saw the promise fulfilled.

16 Now people swear oaths by someone greater than themselves, and confirmation by an oath puts an end to all dispute.

17 Therefore, when God wanted to demonstrate still more convincingly the unchangeable character of his intentions to those who were to receive what he had promised, he added an oath to the promise;

18 so that through two unchangeable things, in neither of which God could lie, we, who have fled to take a firm hold on the hope set before us, would be strongly encouraged.

19 We have this hope as a sure and safe anchor for ourselves, a hope that goes right on through to what is inside the parokhet,

20 where a forerunner has entered on our behalf, namely, Yeshua, who has become a cohen gadol forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.
