1 THEREFORE, let us leave the elementary word of Christ, and let us go on to perfection: Why do you again lay another foundation for the repentance from past deeds, and for faith in God? Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
2 And for the doctrine of baptisms, and for the laying on of hands, and for the resurrection of the dead and for eternal judgment? and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3 If the LORD permits, this we will do. And this we will do if God permits. And God permitting, we will do so.
4 But this is impossible for those who have once been baptised, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit, For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age
6 For, for them to sin again, and be renewed again by repentance, they crucify the Son of God a second time, and put him to open shame. and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that falls abundantly on it, and brings forth herbs useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God: For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
8 But if it should produce thorns and briers it is rejected and not far from being condemned; and at the end this crop will be used for fuel. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
9 But beloved brethren, we expect from you the things that are good and that pertain to salvation, even though we speak in this manner. Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.
10 For God is not unjust to forget your works and your labor of love which you have made known in his name, for you have ministered to the saints and still do minister. For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
11 We desire that every one of you show the same diligence toward the fulfillment of your hope, even unto the end, And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.
12 And that you be not slothful, but be followers of those who through faith and patience have become heirs of the promise. so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
13 For when God made a promise to A’braham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself, For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
14 Saying, Blessing, I will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply you. saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”
15 And so he was patient, and obtained the promise. And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
16 For men swear by one who is greater than themselves: and in every dispute among them, the true settlement is by oaths. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.
17 Therefore, because God wanted more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise that his agreement was unchangeable, he sealed it by an oath. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
18 Thus, by the promise and by the oath which are unchangeable, and in neither of which could God lie, we find courage to hold fast to the hope that has been promised by him in whom we have taken refuge. so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.
19 That promise is like an anchor to us; it upholds the soul so that it may not be shaken, and it penetrates beyond the veil of the temple; We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
20 Therein Jesus has previously entered for our sakes, and become the high priest for ever, after the order of Mel-chis'e-dec. where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
