希伯来书 6

1 所以我们要离开有关基督的初级道理，努力迈向成熟，而不是一再重复悔改和离弃导致灭亡的行为、信靠上帝、2 各种洗礼、按手礼、死人复活、永远的审判等基本道理。3 上帝若许可，我们会这样做。

4 有些人曾蒙上帝光照，尝过天赐恩典的滋味，有份于圣灵，5 尝过上帝之道的甘美，领悟到永世的权能，6 却背弃了真道，让他们重新悔改是不可能的。因为他们等于把上帝的儿子重新钉在十字架上，使祂再度公开受辱。7 一块经常受到雨水滋润的田地若为耕种的人长出庄稼来，就蒙上帝赐福；8 若长出来的尽是荆棘和蒺藜，就毫无价值，它会面临被咒诅的危险，最后必遭焚烧。

9 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，虽然我们这样说，却深信你们的光景比这强，有得救的表现。10 因为上帝并非不公义，以致忘记你们为祂所做的工作以及你们过去和现在服侍圣徒所表现的爱心。11 愿你们各人从始至终表现出同样的殷勤，以便对所盼望的有完全的把握。12 这样，你们就不至懒散，可以效法那些凭信心和忍耐承受应许的人。

上帝的应许可靠

13 当初，上帝向亚伯拉罕许下诺言的时候，因为没有比自己更大的可以凭着起誓，就凭自己起誓说：14 “我必赐福给你，使你子孙众多。”15 亚伯拉罕经过耐心的等待，得到了上帝的应许。

16 人总是指着比自己更大的起誓，并用誓言作保证，了结各样的争论。17 同样，上帝为要向承受应许的人显明祂的旨意绝不更改，就用誓言向他们保证。18 上帝绝不说谎，祂将永不改变的应许和誓言给了我们，使我们这些寻找避难所、持定摆在前面之盼望的人可以大得鼓励。19 我们有这盼望作我们灵魂的锚，既安稳又可靠，一直通往圣幕里面的至圣所。20 耶稣照麦基洗德的模式成了永远的大祭司，祂替我们先进入了圣幕内。

Hebrews 6

1 Therefore we must progress beyondt the elementaryt instructions about Christt and move ont to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,2 teaching about baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.3 And this is what we intend to do,t if God permits.4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit,5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age,6 and then have committed apostasy,t to renew them again to repentance, sincet they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over againt and holding him up to contempt.7 For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls ont it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God.8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed;t its fate is to be burned.9 But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation.10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints.11 But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end,

12 so that you may not be sluggish,t but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.
13 Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,14 saying, “Surely I will bless you greatly and multiply your descendants abundantly.”ts15 And so by persevering, Abrahamt inherited the promise.16 For peoplet swear by something greater than themselves,t and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.t17 In the same wayt God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable,t and so he intervened with an oath,18 so that we who have found refuge in himt may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,s

20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.s
