Hebrews 6 Pros Hebraioin 6
1Dio afiēkarantois ton tau archau tou Christou logon epi tan teleiotan feroneiō, mē palin themelion katabalorōntois metanoiau apo nekreiu ergeiu, kai pistiau epi theon,Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God, 2baptismoiu ⸀didachan epithesiau tē cheiraiu, anastasiau ⸀tē nekroiu kai krimeu aiōnieu.instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3kai houtem ⸀poiani eanper epitrepateiō tos theos.And this we will do, if God permits. 4Adunatem gar toin hapax fōtizirantoin geuerantoin tē tau dōreau tau epouranau kai metochoin genirantoin pneumeu hagieuIt is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5kai kalem geuerantoin theou rēmem dunamiain tē mellarōntou aiōnou,who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age — 6kai parapiptarantoin, palin anakainizarō eis metanoian, anastaurarōntoin heautoi ton huion tou theou kai paradeigmatizarōntoin.and then have fallen away — to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame. 7gēas gar tas pinarantas ton epi autau ⸂erchorōnton pollakis⸃ hueton, kai tiktarōntas botanan euthetan ekeinoi dia hoin kai geōrgotō, metalabatō eulogiau apo tou theou;For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God. 8ekferarōntas de akanthain kai triboloin adokimas kai katarau engus, hau tem telem eis kausian.But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
9Peithonē de peri vu, agapētoir, teim kreittoneim kai echorōnteim sōtērēau, ei kai houtōs lalanō;Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case— things that accompany salvation. 10ouk gar adikos tos theos epilathera teu ergeu vu ⸀kai tau agapau hau endeikeva eis tem onomem autou, diakonarantois toi hagioi kai diakonarōntois.For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so. 11epithumanō de hekaston vu tan autan endeikorō spoudan pros tan plēroforian tau elpidau achri teleu,We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 12hina mē nōthrois geneveia, mimētois de toiu dia pistiau kai makrothumiau klēronomarōntoiu tain epangeliain.Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
13To gar Abraam epangelerantos tos theos, epei kata oudenou echate megoterou omnuara, omnuata kata heautou,When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself, 14legarōntos; ⸀Ei mēn eulogarōntos eulogami sin kai plēthunarōntos plēthunami sin;saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.” 15kai houtōs makrothumarantos epitunchanata tau epangeliau.And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise. 16⸀anthrōpois gar kata tou megoterou omnualō, kai pantau autoi antilogiau peratem eis bebaiōsian tos horkos;Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument. 17en he perissoterem boulorōntos tos theos epideikara toi klēronomoi tau epangeliau tem ametathetem tau boulau autou mesiteuata horko,So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath. 18hina dia duo pragmeiu ametatheteiu, en hei adunatem pseudera ⸀theon, ischuran paraklēsian echaneiō tois katafugarantois kratara tau prokeiorōntau elpidau;Thus 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 strongly encouraged. 19han hōs ankuran echanō tau psuchau, ⸀asfalan tē kai bebaian kai eiserchorōntan eis tem esōterem teu katapetasmeu,We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20hopou prodromos huper nu eiserchata Iēsus, kata tan taxian Melchisedek archierevos generantos eis ton aiōnon.where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
