Heb6:1 Therefore we bringing in a word of the beginning of Christ, be we born to the perfection of him , not again laying the foundament of penance from dead works, and of the faith to God, [ a ]
Heb6:2 and of teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of rising again of dead men, and of everlasting doom.
Heb6:3 And this thing we shall do, if God shall suffer.
Heb6:4 But it is impossible, that they that be once lightened [them that once be illumined], and have tasted also an heavenly gift, and be made partners of the Holy Ghost,
Heb6:5 and nevertheless have tasted the good word of God, and the virtues of the world to coming [and virtues of the world to come],
Heb6:6 and be slid far away, that they be renewed again to penance. Which again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and have him to scorn.
Heb6:7 For the earth that drinketh rain oft coming on it, and bringeth forth suitable herb to them of which it is tilled [Forsooth the earth drinking rain oft coming upon it, and bringing forth covenable herb to them of whom it is tilled], taketh blessing of God.
Heb6:8 But that that is bringing forth thorns and briers, is reprovable, and next to curse, whose ending shall be into burning.
Heb6:9 But, ye most dear-worthy, we trust of you better things, and near(er) to health, though we speak so.
Heb6:10 For God is not unjust, that he forget your work and love, which ye have showed in his name; for ye have ministered to saints, and minister.
Heb6:11 And we covet that each of you show the same busyness to the filling of hope [to the full-filling of hope] into the end;
Heb6:12 that ye be not made slow, but also followers of them, which by faith and patience shall inherit the promises.
Heb6:13 For God promising to Abraham, for he had none greater, by whom he should swear, swore by himself,
Heb6:14 and said [saying], I blessing shall bless thee, and I multiplying shall multiply thee;
Heb6:15 and so he long abiding had the promise. [and so he long suffering got repromission.]
Heb6:16 For men swear by a greater than themselves, and the end of all their plea [and the end of all their controversy, or debate ,] is an oath to confirmation.
Heb6:17 In which thing God willing to show plenteouslier to the heirs of his promise the firmness of his counsel, put betwixt an oath, [ b ]
Heb6:18 that by two things unmoveable, by which it is impossible that God lie, we have a strongest solace, that flee together to hold the hope that is put forth to us. [ c ]
Heb6:19 Which hope as an anchor we have secure to the soul, and firm, and going into the inner things of hiding;
Heb6:20 where the before-goer, Jesus, that is made bishop without end by the order of Melchisedec, entered for us. [where the fore-goer for us entered in, Jesus, made bishop into without end after the order of Melchisedec.]
