Hebrews:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine (
o .
logos )
of Christ ,
let us go on unto perfection ;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works ,
and of faith toward God ,
*
Of the doctrine of baptisms ,
and of laying on of hands ,
and of resurrection of the dead ,
and of eternal judgment .
*
And this will we do ,
if God permit .
*
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened ,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift ,
and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit , (
o .
pneuma )
*
And have tasted the good word (
o .
rhema )
of God ,
and the powers of the world to come ,
*
If 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 .
*
For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it ,
and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed ,
receives blessing from God :
*
But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected ,
and is nigh unto cursing ;
whose end is to be burned .
*
But ,
beloved ,
we are persuaded better things of you ,
and things that accompany salvation ,
though we thus speak .
*
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love , (
o .
agape )
which all of you have showed toward his name ,
in that all of you have ministered to the saints ,
and do minister .
*
And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end :
*
That all of you be not slothful ,
but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises .
*
For when God made promise to Abraham ,
because he could swear by no greater ,
he swore by himself ,
*
Saying ,
Surely blessing I will bless you ,
and multiplying I will multiply you .
*
And so ,
after he had patiently endured ,
he obtained the promise .
*
For men verily swear by the greater :
and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife .
*
Wherein God ,
willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel ,
confirmed it by an oath :
*
That 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 :
*
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul ,
both sure and steadfast ,
and which enters into that within the veil ;
*
Where the forerunner is for us entered ,
even Jesus ,
made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec .
