1Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of al-Masih, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward Elokim, 2of the teaching of total immersion death ghusl burial baths (see ultimate meaning, Roman 6:3), and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3And this will we do, if Elokim permit. 4For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ruach, 5and tasted the good word of Elokim, and the powers of the age to come, 6and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they pierce alive on the Tree [T.N. See 2Samuel 18:9-33 Ben Dovid pierced hanging alive on the Tree, the prophesied peace-bringing Holy Injil requiring a mevaser to herald it; see Psalm 22:16; Zechariah 12:10; Isaiah 53:5] to themselves the [Bar Enosh] Son of the [Atik Yomin] Elokim afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from Elokim: 8but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.

9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak: 10for Elokim is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister. 11And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end: 12that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13For when Elokim made promise to Ibrahim (Abraham), since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself, 14saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. 17Wherein Elokim, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; 18that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for Elokim to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us: 19which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil; 20whither as a forerunner [Prophet] Isa [al-Masih pbuh]entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
