Hebrews 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 So come on, let's leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on "salvation by self-help" and turning in trust toward God;

2 baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment.

3 God helping us, we'll stay true to all that. But there's so much more. Let's get on with it!

4 Once people have seen the light, gotten a taste of heaven and been part of the work of the Holy Spirit,

5 once they've personally experienced the sheer goodness of God's Word and the powers breaking in on us -

6 if then they turn their backs on it, washing their hands of the whole thing, well, they can't start over as if nothing happened. That's impossible. Why, they've re-crucified Jesus! They've repudiated him in public!

7 Parched ground that soaks up the rain and then produces an abundance of carrots and corn for its gardener gets God's "Well done!"

8 But if it produces weeds and thistles, it's more likely to get cussed out. Fields like that are burned, not harvested.

9 I'm sure that won't happen to you, friends. I have better things in mind for you - salvation things!

10 God doesn't miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you've shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it.

11 And now I want each of you to extend that same intensity toward a full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish.

12 Don't drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them.

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line.

14 He said, "I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have - bless and bless and bless!"

15 Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him.

16 When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they'll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up.

17 When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee -

18 God can't break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.

19 It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God

20 where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem ad perfectionem feramur non rursum iacientes fundamentum paenitentiae ab operibus mortuis et fidei ad Deum

2 baptismatum doctrinae inpositionis quoque manuum ac resurrectionis mortuorum et iudicii aeterni

3 et hoc faciemus siquidem permiserit Deus

4 inpossibile est enim eos qui semel sunt inluminati gustaverunt etiam donum caeleste et participes sunt facti Spiritus Sancti

5 gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum virtutesque saeculi venturi

6 et prolapsi sunt renovari rursus ad paenitentiam rursum crucifigentes sibimet ipsis Filium Dei et ostentui habentes

7 terra enim saepe venientem super se bibens imbrem et generans herbam oportunam illis a quibus colitur accipit benedictionem a Deo

8 proferens autem spinas ac tribulos reproba est et maledicto proxima cuius consummatio in conbustionem

9 confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora et viciniora saluti tametsi ita loquimur

10 non enim iniustus Deus ut obliviscatur operis vestri et dilectionis quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius qui ministrastis sanctis et ministratis

11 cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eandem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem

12 ut non segnes efficiamini verum imitatores eorum qui fide et patientia hereditabunt promissiones

13 Abrahae namque promittens Deus quoniam neminem habuit per quem iuraret maiorem iuravit per semet ipsum

14 dicens nisi benedicens benedicam te et multiplicans multiplicabo te

15 et sic longanimiter ferens adeptus est repromissionem

16 homines enim per maiorem sui iurant et omnis controversiae eorum finis ad confirmationem est iuramentum

17 in quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis heredibus inmobilitatem consilii sui interposuit iusiurandum

18 ut per duas res inmobiles quibus inpossibile est mentiri Deum fortissimum solacium habeamus qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem

19 quam sicut anchoram habemus animae tutam ac firmam et incedentem usque in interiora velaminis

20 ubi praecursor pro nobis introiit Iesus secundum ordinem Melchisedech pontifex factus in aeternum
