6Hebrews 6

1Therefore 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,Select Hebrews 6:1

2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.Select Hebrews 6:2

3And this will we do, if God permit.Select Hebrews 6:3

4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,Select Hebrews 6:4

5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,Select Hebrews 6:5

6If 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.Select Hebrews 6:6

7For 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:Select Hebrews 6:7

8But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.Select Hebrews 6:8

9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.Select Hebrews 6:9

10For 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.Select Hebrews 6:10

11And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:Select Hebrews 6:11

12That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.Select Hebrews 6:12

13For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,Select Hebrews 6:13

14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.Select Hebrews 6:14

15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.Select Hebrews 6:15

16For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.Select Hebrews 6:16

17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:Select Hebrews 6:17

18That 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:Select Hebrews 6:18

19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;Select Hebrews 6:19

20Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.Select Hebrews 6:20
