希伯来书 6

警告离弃正道

1 所以，让我们从基督话语的基本原则出发t，被神t带到那成熟的境界；而不用重新打基础，就如悔改那些致死的行为、对神的信仰、2 各样的洗净礼、按手礼、死人复活、永远的惩罚等教导上。3 神如果准许，我们就这么做。

4 原来，如果有人蒙过一次光照、尝过属天恩赐的滋味、曾经与圣灵有份、5 尝过神美善的话语和将要来临之世代的权能，6 却背弃了真理，就不可能再次更新以至于悔改了。因为他们亲自把神的儿子再次钉上十字架，公然羞辱他。7 要知道，当一块田地吸收了常常降在它上面的雨水，并且为种地的人长出有用菜蔬时，它就享受从神而来的祝福；8 但如果它长出荆棘和蒺藜，就没有用处了，很快就要被诅咒，它的结局就是被焚烧。

9 各位蒙爱的人哪，我们即使这样说，还是深信那关于你们的更好之事，并且是有关救恩的，10 因为神不是不公正的，以致忘记你们的工作和你们为他的名所显出的爱，就是你们先前和如今服事圣徒时所显出的爱t。11 我们渴望你们每个人都显出同样的殷勤，使你们对所盼望的有完全的确信，一直到底；12 这样，你们就不会变得懈怠，反而会效法那些藉着信仰和耐心去继承各样应许的人。

承受应许

13 神向亚伯拉罕应许的时候，因为没有比自己t更大的可以指着起誓，就指着自己起誓，

14 说：
“我必定大大赐福给你，
多多地增加你的子孙t。”t

15 这样，亚伯拉罕恒久忍耐，就获得了神所应许的。16 人本来指着比自己t更大的起誓；对他们，所起的誓就是了结一切争执的确据；17 为此，神想要对那些继承应许的人格外表明他的计划是不能更改的，就用所起的誓来保证。18 藉着这两件不能更改的事——在这些事上，神不可能说谎——使我们这些逃往避难所、抓住那摆在前面盼望的人，可以得到极大的鼓励。19 我们所拥有的这盼望，像灵魂t的锚，又可靠又坚固，并且进到幔子最里层的那至圣所t。20 耶稣已经为我们做先锋进入了那里，照着麦基洗德的等级t做大祭司，直到永远。

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
