希伯來書 6

1 所以，我們應當離開基督道理的開端，竭力進到完全的地步，不必再立根基，就如那懊悔死行、信靠上帝、 2 各樣洗禮、按手之禮、死人復活，以及永遠審判各等教訓。 3 上帝若許我們，我們必如此行。 4 論到那些已經蒙了光照、嘗過天恩的滋味、又於聖靈有分， 5 並嘗過上帝善道的滋味、覺悟來世權能的人， 6 若是離棄道理，就不能叫他們重新懊悔了。因為他們把上帝的兒子重釘十字架，明明地羞辱他。 7 就如一塊田地，吃過屢次下的雨水，生長菜蔬，合乎耕種的人用，就從上帝得福； 8 若長荊棘和蒺藜，必被廢棄，近於咒詛，結局就是焚燒。 9 親愛的弟兄們，我們雖是這樣說，卻深信你們的行為強過這些，而且近乎得救。 10 因為上帝並非不公義，竟忘記你們所做的工和你們為他名所顯的愛心，就是先前伺候聖徒，如今還是伺候。 11 我們願你們各人都顯出這樣的殷勤，使你們有滿足的指望，一直到底。 12 並且不懈怠，總要效法那些憑信心和忍耐承受應許的人。

上帝確切的應許

13 當初上帝應許亞伯拉罕的時候，因為沒有比自己更大可以指著起誓的，就指著自己起誓，說： 14 「論福，我必賜大福給你；論子孫，我必叫你的子孫多起來。」 15 這樣，亞伯拉罕既恆久忍耐，就得了所應許的。 16 人都是指著比自己大的起誓，並且以起誓為實據，了結各樣的爭論。 17 照樣，上帝願意為那承受應許的人格外顯明他的旨意是不更改的，就起誓為證。 18 藉這兩件不更改的事，上帝決不能說謊，好叫我們這逃往避難所、持定擺在我們前頭指望的人可以大得勉勵。 19 我們有這指望，如同靈魂的錨，又堅固又牢靠，且通入幔內。 20 作先鋒的耶穌，既照著麥基洗德的等次成了永遠的大祭司，就為我們進入幔內。

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
