6Hebrews 6

1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God,Select Hebrews 6:1

2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the 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 have been once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit.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 to 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 often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs fit 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 to 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 labor of love, which ye have shown towards his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.Select Hebrews 6:10

11And we desire every one of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to 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 swore 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 contradiction.Select Hebrews 6:16

17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show to 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 steadfast, and which entereth into that within the vail;Select Hebrews 6:19

20Whither the forerunner hath for us entered, [even] Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.Select Hebrews 6:20
