1 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, 2 Of the doc­trine of bap­tisms, and of lay­ing on of hands, and of res­ur­rec­tion of the dead, and of eter­nal judg­ment. 3 And this will we do, if God per­mit. 4 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, 5 And have tast­ed the good word of God, and the pow­ers of the world to come, 6 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. 7 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: 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is re­ject­ed, and is nigh unto curs­ing; whose end is to be burned. 9 But, beloved, we are per­suad­ed bet­ter things of you, and things that ac­com­pa­ny sal­va­tion, though we thus speak. 10 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. 11 And we de­sire that ev­ery one of you do shew the same dili­gence to the full as­sur­ance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not sloth­ful, but fol­low­ers of them who through faith and pa­tience in­her­it the promis­es. 13 For when God made promise to Abra­ham, be­cause he could swear by no greater, he sware by him­self, 14 Say­ing, Sure­ly bless­ing I will bless thee, and mul­ti­ply­ing I will mul­ti­ply thee. 15 And so, af­ter he had pa­tient­ly en­dured, he ob­tained the promise. 16 For men ver­i­ly swear by the greater: and an oath for con­fir­ma­tion is to them an end of all strife. 17 Where­in God, will­ing more abun­dant­ly to shew unto the heirs of promise the im­mutabil­i­ty of his coun­sel, con­firmed it by an oath: 18 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: 19 Which hope we have as an an­chor of the soul, both sure and sted­fast, and which en­tereth into that with­in the veil; 20 Whith­er the fore­run­ner is for us en­tered, even Je­sus, made an high priest for ever af­ter the or­der of Melchisedec.
