Hebrews 6
Geneva Bible 1599
1Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection, not laying againe ye foundation of repetance from dead workes, and of faith toward God,
2Of the doctrine of baptismes, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternall iudgement.
3And this will we doe if God permit.
4For it is impossible that they which were once lightened, and haue tasted of the heauenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost,
5And haue tasted of the good word of God, and of the powers of the world to come,
6If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him.
7For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth foorth herbes meete for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing of God.
8But that which beareth thornes and briars, is reproued, and is neere vnto cursing, whose end is to be burned.
9But beloued, we haue perswaded our selues better things of you, and such as accompany saluation, though we thus speake.
10For God is not vnrighteous, that hee should forget your worke, and labour of loue, which ye shewed toward his Name, in that ye haue ministred vnto the Saints, and yet minister.
11And we desire that euery one of you shew the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende,
12That ye be not slouthfull, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherite the promises.
