NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hebrews 6

The Peril of Falling Away

1

Thereforeg1352  aleavingg863  bthe  1elementaryg746 teachingg3056 about the  2Christg5547, let us pressg5342 on to  3 cmaturityg5047, not layingg2598 againg3825 a foundationg2310b of repentanceg3341 from  ddeadg3498 worksg2041 and of faithg4102 towardg1909 Godg2316,

2

of  ainstructiong1322 about washingsg909 and  blayingg1936 on of handsg5495, and the  cresurrectiong386 of the deadg3498 and  ceternalg166 judgmentg2917.

3

And thisg3778 we will dog4160,  aifg1437g4007a Godg2316 permitsg2010.

4

For in the case of thoseg3588 who have onceg530 been  aenlightenedg5461 and have tastedg1089 of  bthe heavenlyg2032 giftg1431 and have beeng1096 madeg1096  cpartakersg3353 of the Holyg40 Spiritg4151,

5

and  ahave tastedg1089 the goodg2570  bwordg4487 of Godg2316 and the powersg1411 of  cthe ageg165 to comeg3195,

6

and then have falleng3895 awayg3895, it is  aimpossibleg102 to renewg340 them againg3825 to repentanceg3341,  1 bsince they againg388 crucifyg388 to themselvesg1438 the Song5207 of Godg2316 and putg3856 Him to openg3856 shameg3856.

7

For groundg1093 that drinksg4095 the raing5205 which ofteng4178  1fallsg2064 on it and bringsg5088 forthg5088 vegetationg1008 usefulg2111 to thoseg1565  afor whoseg3739 sakeg1223 it is alsog2532 tilledg1090, receivesg3335 a blessingg2129 from Godg2316;

8

but if it yieldsg1627 thornsg173 and thistlesg5146, it is worthlessg96b and  acloseg1451  1to being cursedg2671, and  2it endsg5056 up being burnedg2740.

Better Things for You

9

But,  abelovedg27, we are convincedg3982 of betterg2909 thingsg2909 concerningg4012 you, and things that  1accompanyg2192 salvationg4991, thoughg1487g2532 we are speakingg2980 in thisg3779 wayg3779.

10

For  aGodg2316 is not unjustg94 so as to forgetg1950  byour workg2041 and the loveg26 whichg3739 you have showng1731 towardg1519 His nameg3686, in having  cministeredg1247 and in still ministeringg1247 to the  1saintsg40.

11

And we desireg1937 that eachg1538 oneg1538 of you showg1731 the sameg846 diligenceg4710  1sog4314 as to realize the  afullg4136 assuranceg4136 of  bhopeg1680 untilg891 the endg5056,

12

sog2443 that you will not be sluggishg3576, but  aimitatorsg3402 of thoseg3588 who throughg1223  bfaithg4102 and patienceg3115  cinheritg2816 the promisesg1860.

13

For  awhen Godg2316 madeg1861 the promiseg1861 to Abrahamg11, sinceg1893 He couldg2192 swearg3660 by nog3762 oneg3762 greaterg3173, He  bsworeg3660 by Himselfg1438,

14

sayingg3004, " aI WILL SURELYg3375g2127 BLESSg2127 YOU AND I WILL SURELYg4129 MULTIPLYg4129 YOU."

15

And sog3779,  ahaving patientlyg3114 waitedg3114, he obtainedg2013 the promiseg1860.

16

 aFor meng444 swearg3660 by  1oneg3173 greaterg3173 than themselves, and with them  ban oathg3727 given as confirmationg951 is an endg4009 of everyg3956 disputeg485.

17

 1In the sameg3739 way Godg2316, desiringg1014 eveng4053 moreg4053 to showg1925 to  athe heirsg2818 of the promiseg1860  bthe unchangeablenessg276 of His purposeg1012,  2interposedg3315 with an oathg3727,

18

sog2443 that by twog1417 unchangeableg276 thingsg4229 in whichg3739  ait is impossibleg102 for Godg2316 to lieg5574, we who have  1takeng2703 refugeg2703 would haveg2192 strongg2478 encouragementg3874 to takeg2902 holdg2902 of  bthe hopeg1680 setg4295 beforeg4295 us.

19

 1Thisg3739  ahope we haveg2192 as an anchorg45 of the soulg5590, a hope bothg5037 sureg804 and steadfastg949 and one which  bentersg1525  2withing2082 the veilg2665,

20

 awhereg3699 Jesusg2424 has enteredg1525 as a forerunnerg4274 for us, having becomeg1096 a  bhighg749 priestg749 foreverg165 accordingg2596 to the orderg5010 of Melchizedekg3198.
