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
being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
{6:9} But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and
things that accompany salvation, even 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 showed 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} In this way 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}
This hope 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.
