¹ G1352 Therefore G863 leaving [G5631]   G746 the principles G3056 of the doctrine G5547 of Christ G5342 , let us go on [G5747]   G1909 unto G5047 perfection G3361 ; not G2598 laying [G5734]   G3825 again G2310 the foundation G3341 of repentance G575 from G3498 dead G2041 works G2532 , and G4102 of faith G1909 toward G2316 God,

² G1322 Of the doctrine G909 of baptisms G5037 , and G1936 of laying on G5495 of hands G5037 , and G386 of resurrection G3498 of the dead G2532 , and G166 of eternal G2917 judgment.

³ G2532 And G5124 this G4160 will we do [G5692]   G1437 , if G4007   G2316 God G2010 permit [G5725]  .

⁴ G1063 For G102 it is impossible G530 for those who were once G5461 enlightened [G5685]   G5037 , and G1089 have tasted [G5666]   G2032 of the heavenly G1431 gift G2532 , and G1096 were made [G5679]   G3353 partakers G40 of the Holy G4151 Ghost,

⁵ G2532 And G1089 have tasted [G5666]   G2570 the good G4487 word G2316 of God G5037 , and G1411 the powers G165 of the world G3195 to come [G5723]  ,

⁶ G2532 If G3895 they shall fall away [G5631]   G340 , to renew them [G5721]   G3825 again G1519 unto G3341 repentance G388 ; seeing they crucify G1438 to themselves G5207 the Son G2316 of God G388 afresh [G5723]   G2532 , and G3856 put him to an open shame [G5723]  .

⁷ G1063 For G1093 the earth G3588 which G4095 drinketh in [G5631]   G5205 the rain G2064 that cometh [G5740]   G4178 oft G1909 upon G846 it G2532 , and G5088 bringeth forth [G5723]   G1008 herbs G2111 meet G1565 for them G2532   G1223 by G3739 whom G1090 it is dressed [G5743]   G3335 , receiveth [G5719]   G2129 blessing G575 from G2316 God:

⁸ G1161 But G1627 that which beareth [G5723]   G173 thorns G2532 and G5146 briers G96 is rejected G2532 , and G1451 is nigh G2671 unto cursing G3739 ; whose G5056 end G1519 is to G2740 be burned.

⁹ G1161 But G27 , beloved G3982 , we are persuaded [G5769]   G2909 better things G4012 of G5216 you G2532 , and G2192 things that accompany [G5746]   G4991 salvation G1499 , though G2980 we G3779 thus G2980 speak [G5719]  .

¹⁰ G1063 For G2316 God G3756 is not G94 unrighteous G1950 to forget [G5635]   G5216 your G2041 work G2532 and G2873 labour G26 of love G3739 , which G1731 ye have shewed [G5668]   [G5625]   G1731   [G5669]   G1519 toward G846 his G3686 name G1247 , in that ye have ministered [G5660]   G40 to the saints G2532 , and G1247 do minister [G5723]  .

¹¹ G1161 And G1937 we desire [G5719]   G1538 that every one G5216 of you G1731 do shew [G5733]   G846 the same G4710 diligence G4314 to G4136 the full assurance G1680 of hope G891 unto G5056 the end:

¹² G3363 That G1096 ye be [G5638]   G3363 not G3576 slothful G1161 , but G3402 followers G1223 of them who through G4102 faith G2532 and G3115 patience G2816 inherit [G5723]   G1860 the promises.

¹³ G1063 For G2316 when God G1861 made promise [G5666]   G11 to Abraham G1893 , because G2192 he could [G5707]   G3660 swear [G5658]   G2596 by G3762 no G3187 greater G3660 , he sware [G5656]   G2596 by G1438 himself,

¹⁴ G3004 Saying [G5723]   G2229 , Surely G3375   G2127 blessing [G5723]   G2127 I will bless [G5692]   G4571 thee G2532 , and G4129 multiplying [G5723]   G4129 I will multiply [G5692]   G4571 thee.

¹⁵ G2532 And G3779 so G3114 , after he had patiently endured [G5660]   G2013 , he obtained [G5627]   G1860 the promise.

¹⁶ G1063 For G444 men G3303 verily G3660 swear [G5719]   G2596 by G3187 the greater G2532 : and G3727 an oath G1519 for G951 confirmation G846 is to them G4009 an end G3956 of all G485 strife.

¹⁷ G1722 Wherein G3739   G2316 God G1014 , willing [G5740]   G4054 more abundantly G1925 to shew [G5658]   G2818 unto the heirs G1860 of promise G276 the immutability G846 of his G1012 counsel G3315 , confirmed [G5656]   G3727 it by an oath:

¹⁸ G2443 That G1223 by G1417 two G276 immutable G4229 things G1722 , in G3739 which G102 it was impossible G2316 for God G5574 to lie [G5664]   G2192 , we might have [G5725]   G2478 a strong G3874 consolation G3588 , who G2703 have fled for refuge [G5631]   G2902 to lay hold [G5658]   G1680 upon the hope G4295 set before us [G5740]  :

¹⁹ G3739 Which G2192 hope we have [G5719]   G5613 as G45 an anchor G5590 of the soul G5037 , both G804 sure G2532 and G949 stedfast G2532 , and G1525 which entereth [G5740]   G1519 into G2082 that within G2665 the veil;

²⁰ G3699 Whither G4274 the forerunner G1525 is G5228 for G2257 us G1525 entered [G5627]   G2424 , even Jesus G1096 , made [G5637]   G749 an high priest G1519 for G165 ever G2596 after G5010 the order G3198 of Melchisedec.
