Hebrews 6 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Warning Against Falling Away

Therefore^G1352 leaving^G863 the [fn]elementary^G746 teaching^G3056 about the [fn]Christ^G5547, let us press^G5342 on to [fn]maturity^G5047, not laying^G2598 again^G3825 a foundation^G2310 of repentance^G3341 from dead^G3498 works^G2041 and of faith^G4102 toward^G1909 God^G2316,

Heb 6:2

Heb 6:2of teaching about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

Heb 6:3

Heb 6:3And this we will do, if God permits.

Heb 6:4

Heb 6:4For in the case of those once having been enlightened and having tasted of the heavenly gift and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

Heb 6:5

Heb 6:5and having tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

Heb 6:6

Heb 6:6and having fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, [fn]since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

Heb 6:7

Heb 6:7For ground that drinks the rain which often [fn]falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;

Heb 6:8

Heb 6:8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is unfit and close [fn]to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

The Inheritance of the Promises

Heb 6:9

But we are convinced^G3982 about^G4012 you, beloved^G27, of things^G2909 that are better^G2909 and that belong^G2192 to salvation^G4991, though^G1487^G2532 we are speaking^G2980 in^G3779 this^G3779 way^G3779.

Heb 6:10

Heb 6:10For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and continuing to minister to the [fn]saints.

Heb 6:11

Heb 6:11And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence [fn]so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

Heb 6:12

Heb 6:12so that you may not become dull, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Heb 6:13

For when God^G2316 made^G1861 the promise^G1861 to Abraham^G11, since^G1893 He could^G2192 swear^G3660 by no^G3762 one^G3762 greater^G3173, He swore^G3660 by Himself^G1438,

Heb 6:14

Heb 6:14saying, “I WILL GREATLY BLESS YOU AND I WILL GREATLY MULTIPLY YOU.”

Heb 6:15

Heb 6:15And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

Heb 6:16

Heb 6:16For men swear by [fn]one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

Heb 6:17

Heb 6:17 [fn]In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, guaranteed it with an oath,

Heb 6:18

Heb 6:18so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

Heb 6:19
