The Letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 6
{6:1} Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of
Messiah, let us press on to perfection -- not laying again a
foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God, {6:2}
of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of
the dead, and of eternal judgment. {6:3} This will we do, if God
permits. {6:4} For concerning those who were once enlightened and
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the [1>]Ruach
HaKodesh[<1], {6:5} and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of
the age to come, {6:6} and then fell away, it is impossible to renew
them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for
themselves again, and put him to open shame. {6:7} For the land which
has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop
suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing
from God; {6:8} but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected
and near a curse, whose end is to be burned.
{6:9} But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and
things that accompany salvation, though we speak like this, {6:10} for
God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of
love which you shown toward his name, in that you served the holy
ones, and still do serve them. {6:11} We desire that each one of you
may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
{6:12} that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through
faith and patience inherited the promises. {6:13} For when God made a
promise to Avraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by
himself, {6:14} saying, "Most surely I will bless you, and I will
surely multiply you." {6:15} Thus, having patiently endured, he
obtained the promise. {6:16} For men indeed swear by a greater one,
and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
{6:17} Wherein God, being determined to show more abundantly to the
heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with
an oath; {6:18} that by two immutable things, in which it is
impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who
have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us, {6:19}
which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast
and entering into that which is within the veil; {6:20} where as a
forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having become a [2>]Kohen Gadol[<2]
forever after the order of Malki-Tzedek.
