[1]ThereforeG1352 leavingG863[G5631] the principlesG746 of the doctrineG3056 of ChristG5547, let us go onG5342[G5747] untoG1909 perfectionG5047; notG3361 layingG2598[G5734] againG3825 the foundationG2310 of repentanceG3341 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041, andG2532 of faithG4102 towardG1909 GodG2316,
[2]Of the doctrineG1322 of baptismsG909, andG5037 of laying onG1936 of handsG5495, andG5037 of resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, andG2532 of eternalG166 judgmentG2917.
[3]AndG2532 thisG5124 will we doG4160[G5692], ifG1437[G4007] GodG2316 permitG2010.[G5725]
[4]ForG1063 it is impossibleG102 for those who were onceG530 enlightenedG5461[G5685], andG5037 have tastedG1089[G5666] of the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431, andG2532 were madeG1096[G5679] partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
[5]AndG2532 have tastedG1089[G5666] the goodG2570 wordG4487 of GodG2316, andG5037 the powersG1411 of the worldG165 G3195to comeG5723
[6]IfG2532 they shall fall awayG3895[G5631], to renew themG340[G5721] againG3825 untoG1519 repentanceG3341; seeing they crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 afreshG388[G5723], andG2532 put him to an open shameG3856.[G5723]
[7]ForG1063 the earthG1093 whichG3588 drinketh inG4095[G5631] the rainG5205 that comethG2064[G5740] oftG4178 uponG1909 itG846, andG2532 bringeth forthG5088[G5723] herbsG1008 meetG2111 for themG1565[G2532] byG1223 whomG3739 it is dressedG1090[G5743], receivethG3335[G5719] blessingG2129 fromG575 GodG2316:
[8]ButG1161 that which bearethG1627[G5723] thornsG173 andG2532 briersG5146 is rejectedG96, andG2532 is nighG1451 unto cursingG2671; whoseG3739 endG5056 is toG1519 be burnedG2740.
[9]ButG1161, belovedG27, we are persuadedG3982[G5769] better thingsG2909 ofG4012 youG5216, andG2532 things that accompanyG2192[G5746] salvationG4991, thoughG1499 weG2980 thusG3779 speakG2980.[G5719]
[10]ForG1063 GodG2316 is notG3756 unrighteousG94 to forgetG1950[G5635] yourG5216 workG2041 andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, whichG3739 ye have shewedG1731[G5668][G5625][G1731][G5669] towardG1519 hisG846 nameG3686, in that ye have ministeredG1247[G5660] to the saintsG40, andG2532 do ministerG1247.[G5723]
[11]AndG1161 we desireG1937[G5719] that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731[G5733] the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
[12]ThatG3363 ye beG1096[G5638] notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816[G5723] the promisesG1860.
[13]ForG1063 when GodG2316 made promiseG1861[G5666] to AbrahamG11, becauseG1893 he couldG2192[G5707] swearG3660[G5658] byG2596 noG3762 greaterG3187, he swareG3660[G5656] byG2596 himselfG1438,
[14]SayingG3004[G5723], SurelyG2229[G3375] blessingG2127[G5723] I will blessG2127[G5692] theeG4571, andG2532 multiplyingG4129[G5723] I will multiplyG4129[G5692] theeG4571.
[15]AndG2532 soG3779, after he had patiently enduredG3114[G5660], he obtainedG2013[G5627] the promiseG1860.
[16]ForG1063 menG444 verilyG3303 swearG3660[G5719] byG2596 the greaterG3187: andG2532 an oathG3727 forG1519 confirmationG951 is to themG846 an endG4009 of allG3956 strifeG485.
[17]WhereinG1722[G3739] GodG2316, willingG1014[G5740] more abundantlyG4054 to shewG1925[G5658] unto the heirsG2818 of promiseG1860 the immutabilityG276 of hisG846 counselG1012, confirmedG3315[G5656] it by an oathG3727:
[18]ThatG2443 byG1223 twoG1417 immutableG276 thingsG4229, inG1722 whichG3739 it was impossibleG102 for GodG2316 to lieG5574[G5664], we might haveG2192[G5725] a strongG2478 consolationG3874, whoG3588 have fled for refugeG2703[G5631] to lay holdG2902[G5658] upon the hopeG1680 set before usG4295:[G5740]
[19]WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192[G5719] asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525[G5740] intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
[20]WhitherG3699 the forerunnerG4274 isG1525 forG5228 usG2257 enteredG1525[G5627], even JesusG2424, madeG1096[G5637] an high priestG749 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
