  6:1
Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha, |
|
6:1
Therefore let us leave the commencement of the word of the Messiah, and let us proceed to the completion. Or will ye again lay another foundation for the repentance which is from dead works, and for the faith in God, |
|
6:2
and for the doctrine of ablution, and of imposition of the hand, and for the resurrection from the place of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal? |
|
6:2
and for the doctrine of baptism, and for the laying on of a hand, and for the resurrection from the dead, and for the eternal judgment? |
|
6:3
If the Lord permit, we will do this. |
|
6:3
We will do this, if the Lord permit. |
|
6:4
But they who once unto baptism have descended, and have tasted the gift which is from heaven, and have received the Spirit of Holiness, |
|
6:4
But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit, |
|
6:5
and have tasted the good word of Aloha, and the power of the world to come, |
|
6:5
and have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, |
|
6:6
(and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God. |
|
6:6
cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God. |
|
6:7
For the earth that hath drank the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha; |
|
6:7
For the earth that drinketh the rain which cometh often upon it, and produceth the herb that is of use to those for whom it is cultivated, receiveth a blessing from God. |
|
6:8
but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning. |
|
6:8
But if it should put forth thorns and briers, it would have reprobation, and be not far from a curse, and its end would be a burning. |
|
6:9
But we are persuaded concerning you, my brethren, those things which are good, and that draw nigh unto salvation, though thus we speak. |
|
6:9
But, in regard to you, my brethren, we are persuaded better things, and things pertaining to life, although we thus speak. |
|
6:10
For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister. |
|
6:10
For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints. |
|
6:11
But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end; |
|
6:11
And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end: |
|
6:12
and that it be not cut off from you, but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience have become heirs of the promise. |
|
6:12
and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise. |
|
6:13
For when to Abraham Aloha gave promise, because there was no one greater than himself to swear by, he sware by his own Self, |
|
6:13
For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself; |
|
6:14
and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. |
|
6:14
and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. |
|
6:15
And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise. |
|
6:15
And so he was patient, and obtained the promise. |
|
6:16
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and every controversy which occurs among them hath a sure conclusion in the oath. |
|
6:16
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath. |
|
6:17
On this account Aloha, willing abundantly to manifest to the heirs of the promise that his engagement is changeless, hath bound it in an oath: |
|
6:17
Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in an oath; |
|
6:18
that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us, |
|
6:18
so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us; |
|
6:19
[and] which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil, |
|
6:19
which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil, |
|
6:20
where Jeshu hath first entered for us, and become the Priest for ever in the likeness of Malki-Zedek. |
|
6:20
whither Jesus hath previously entered for us, and hath become a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec. |
