1 Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God, 2 or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement. 3 And advance we will, if God permits us to do so. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have realized how good the word of God is and how mighty are the powers of the coming Age, and then fell away-- Hebrews 6:1-5, Weymouth New Testament.
