Hebrews Capítulo 6
This letter exhorts new Christians to no longer observe traditional rituals and ceremonies, for in Christ they have already been fulfilled.
A Conservative Version
6 : 1 Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
6 : 2 of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6 : 3 And this we will do, if of course God will permit.
6 : 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and who tasted of the heavenly gift, and who became partakers of the Holy Spirit,
6 : 5 and who tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age,
6 : 6 and who fell away, to restore again to repentance, crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and disgracing him publicly.
6 : 7 For the soil that has drunk the rain often coming upon it, and bringing forth vegetation useful for those by whom also it is cultivated, partakes of a blessing from God.
6 : 8 But producing thorns and thistles it is unfit and near a curse, the end of which is for burning.
6 : 9 But we are persuaded better things about you, beloved, and things that have salvation, even though we speak this way.
6 : 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that ye showed toward his name, having served the sanctified, and who are serving.
6 : 11 And we earnestly desire each of you to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end,
6 : 12 so that ye may not become lazy, but imitators of those who, through faith and longsuffering, inherit the promises.
6 : 13 For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself,
6 : 14 saying, Surely indeed, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
6 : 15 And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
6 : 16 For men certainly swear by the greater, and of every dispute with them the oath is final for confirmation.
6 : 17 By which God, wanting to demonstrate more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutableness of his resolve, confirmed it by an oath.
6 : 18 So that by two immutable events, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge to seize the hope being openly displayed.
6 : 19 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and that enters into the interior of the veil,
6 : 20 where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
