Hebrews 6

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem ad perfectionem feramur non rursum iacientes fundamentum paenitentiae ab operibus mortuis et fidei ad Deum

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

baptismatum doctrinae inpositionis quoque manuum ac resurrectionis mortuorum et iudicii aeterni

And this will we do, if God permit.

et hoc faciemus siquidem permiserit Deus

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

inpossibile est enim eos qui semel sunt inluminati gustaverunt etiam donum caeleste et participes sunt facti Spiritus Sancti

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum virtutesque saeculi venturi

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.

et prolapsi sunt renovari rursus ad paenitentiam rursum crucifigentes sibimet ipsis Filium Dei et ostentui habentes

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

terra enim saepe venientem super se bibens imbrem et generans herbam oportunam illis a quibus colitur accipit benedictionem a Deo

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

proferens autem spinas ac tribulos reproba est et maledicto proxima cuius consummatio in conbustionem

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora et viciniora saluti tametsi ita loquimur

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

non enim iniustus Deus ut obliviscatur operis vestri et dilectionis quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius qui ministrastis sanctis et ministratis

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eandem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

ut non segnes efficiamini verum imitatores eorum qui fide et patientia hereditabunt promissiones

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

Abrahae namque promittens Deus quoniam neminem habuit per quem iuraret maiorem iuravit per semet ipsum

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

dicens nisi benedicens benedicam te et multiplicans multiplicabo te

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

et sic longanimiter ferens adeptus est repromissionem

For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

homines enim per maiorem sui iurant et omnis controversiae eorum finis ad confirmationem est iuramentum

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

in quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis heredibus inmobilitatem consilii sui interposuit iusiurandum

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:

ut per duas res inmobiles quibus inpossibile est mentiri Deum fortissimum solacium habeamus qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

quam sicut anchoram habemus animae tutam ac firmam et incedentem usque in interiora velaminis

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

ubi praecursor pro nobis introiit Iesus secundum ordinem Melchisedech pontifex factus in aeternum
