ACV - Hebrews - 6

6:1  Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

6:2  of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

6:3  And this we will do, if of course God will permit.

6:4  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and who tasted of the heavenly gift, and who became partakers of the Holy Spirit,

6:5  and who tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,

6:6  and who fell away, to restore again to repentance, crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and disgracing him publicly.

6:7  For the soil that has drunk the rain often coming upon it, and bringing forth vegetation useful for those by whom also it is cultivated, partakes of a blessing from God.

6:8  But producing thorns and thistles it is unfit and near a curse, the end of which is for burning.

6:9  But we are persuaded better things about you, beloved, and things that have salvation, even though we speak this way.

6:10  For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that ye showed toward his name, having served the sanctified, and who are serving.

6:11  And we earnestly desire each of you to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end,

6:12  so that ye may not become lazy, but imitators of those who, through faith and longsuffering, inherit the promises.

6:13  For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself,

6:14  saying, Surely indeed, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

6:15  And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

6:16  For men certainly swear by the greater, and of every dispute with them the oath is final for confirmation.

6:17  By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath.

6:18  So that by two immutable events, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge to seize the hope being openly displayed.

6:19  Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and that enters into the interior of the veil,

6:20  where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
