WEB·Hebrews 6

¹Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

KJVTherefore^G1352 leaving^G863^(G5631) the principles^G746 of the doctrine^G3056 of Christ^G5547, let us go on^G5342^(G5747) unto^G1909 perfection^G5047; not^G3361 laying^G2598^(G5734) again^G3825 the foundation^G2310 of repentance^G3341 from^G575 dead^G3498 works^G2041, and^G2532 of faith^G4102 toward^G1909 God^G2316,

² of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

KJVOf the doctrine^G1322 of baptisms^G909, and^G5037 of laying on^G1936 of hands^G5495, and^G5037 of resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498, and^G2532 of eternal^G166 judgment^G2917.

³ This will we do, if God permits.

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G5124 will we do^G4160^(G5692), if^G1437^G4007 God^G2316 permit^G2010^(G5725).

⁴ For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

KJVFor^G1063 it is impossible^G102 for those who were once^G530 enlightened^G5461^(G5685), and^G5037 have tasted^G1089^(G5666) of the heavenly^G2032 gift^G1431, and^G2532 were made^G1096^(G5679) partakers^G3353 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151,

⁵ and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

KJVAnd^G2532 have tasted^G1089^(G5666) the good^G2570 word^G4487 of God^G2316, and^G5037 the powers^G1411 of the world^G165 to come^G3195^(G5723),

⁶ and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

KJVIf^G2532 they shall fall away^G3895^(G5631), to renew them^G340^(G5721) again^G3825 unto^G1519 repentance^G3341; seeing they crucify^G388 to themselves^G1438 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316 afresh^G388^(G5723), and^G2532 put him to an open shame^G3856^(G5723).

⁷ For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it and produces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;

KJVFor^G1063 the earth^G1093 which^G3588 drinketh in^G4095^(G5631) the rain^G5205 that cometh^G2064^(G5740) oft^G4178 upon^G1909 it^G846, and^G2532 bringeth forth^G5088^(G5723) herbs^G1008 meet^G2111 for them^G1565^G2532 by^G1223 whom^G3739 it is dressed^G1090^(G5743), receiveth^G3335^(G5719) blessing^G2129 from^G575 God^G2316:

⁸ but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

KJVBut^G1161 that which beareth^G1627^(G5723) thorns^G173 and^G2532 briers^G5146 is rejected^G96, and^G2532 is nigh^G1451 unto cursing^G2671; whose^G3739 end^G5056 is to^G1519 be burned^G2740.

⁹ But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.

KJVBut^G1161, beloved^G27, we are persuaded^G3982^(G5769) better things^G2909 of^G4012 you^G5216, and^G2532 things that accompany^G2192^(G5746) salvation^G4991, though^G1499 we^G2980 thus^G3779 speak^G2980^(G5719).

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

KJVFor^G1063 God^G2316 is not^G3756 unrighteous^G94 to forget^G1950^(G5635) your^G5216 work^G2041 and^G2532 labour^G2873 of love^G26, which^G3739 ye have shewed^G1731^(G5668)^(G5625)^G1731^(G5669) toward^G1519 his^G846 name^G3686, in that ye have ministered^G1247^(G5660) to the saints^G40, and^G2532 do minister^G1247^(G5723).

¹¹ We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

KJVAnd^G1161 we desire^G1937^(G5719) that every one^G1538 of you^G5216 do shew^G1731^(G5733) the same^G846 diligence^G4710 to^G4314 the full assurance^G4136 of hope^G1680 unto^G891 the end^G5056:

¹² that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

KJVThat^G3363 ye be^G1096^(G5638) not^G3363 slothful^G3576, but^G1161 followers^G3402 of them who through^G1223 faith^G4102 and^G2532 patience^G3115 inherit^G2816^(G5723) the promises^G1860.

¹³ For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

KJVFor^G1063 when God^G2316 made promise^G1861^(G5666) to Abraham^G11, because^G1893 he could^G2192^(G5707) swear^G3660^(G5658) by^G2596 no^G3762 greater^G3187, he sware^G3660^(G5656) by^G2596 himself^G1438,

¹⁴ saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Surely^G2229^G3375 blessing^G2127^(G5723) I will bless^G2127^(G5692) thee^G4571, and^G2532 multiplying^G4129^(G5723) I will multiply^G4129^(G5692) thee^G4571.

¹⁵ Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

KJVAnd^G2532 so^G3779, after he had patiently endured^G3114^(G5660), he obtained^G2013^(G5627) the promise^G1860.

¹⁶ For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.

KJVFor^G1063 men^G444 verily^G3303 swear^G3660^(G5719) by^G2596 the greater^G3187: and^G2532 an oath^G3727 for^G1519 confirmation^G951 is to them^G846 an end^G4009 of all^G3956 strife^G485.

¹⁷ In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,

KJVWherein^G1722^G3739 God^G2316, willing^G1014^(G5740) more abundantly^G4054 to shew^G1925^(G5658) unto the heirs^G2818 of promise^G1860 the immutability^G276 of his^G846 counsel^G1012, confirmed^G3315^(G5656) it by an oath^G3727:

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

KJVThat^G2443 by^G1223 two^G1417 immutable^G276 things^G4229, in^G1722 which^G3739 it was impossible^G102 for God^G2316 to lie^G5574^(G5664), we might have^G2192^(G5725) a strong^G2478 consolation^G3874, who^G3588 have fled for refuge^G2703^(G5631) to lay hold^G2902^(G5658) upon the hope^G1680 set before us^G4295^(G5740):

¹⁹ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil,

KJVWhich^G3739 hope we have^G2192^(G5719) as^G5613 an anchor^G45 of the soul^G5590, both^G5037 sure^G804 and^G2532 stedfast^G949, and^G2532 which entereth^G1525^(G5740) into^G1519 that within^G2082 the veil^G2665;

²⁰ where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

KJVWhither^G3699 the forerunner^G4274 is^G1525 for^G5228 us^G2257 entered^G1525^(G5627), even Jesus^G2424, made^G1096^(G5637) an high priest^G749 for^G1519 ever^G165 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Melchisedec^G3198.

WEB·Hebrews 5

¹For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

KJVFor^G1063 every^G3956 high priest^G749 taken^G2983^(G5746) from among^G1537 men^G444 is ordained^G2525^(G5743) for^G5228 men^G444 in things pertaining to^G4314 God^G2316, that^G2443 he may offer^G4374^(G5725) both^G5037 gifts^G1435 and^G2532 sacrifices^G2378 for^G5228 sins^G266:

² The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.

KJVWho can^G1410^(G5740) have compassion^G3356^(G5721) on the ignorant^G50^(G5723), and^G2532 on them that are out of the way^G4105^(G5746); for^G1893 that he^G4029 himself^G846 also^G2532 is compassed^G4029^(G5736) with infirmity^G769.

³ Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

KJVAnd^G2532 by reason^G1223 hereof^G5026 he ought^G3784^(G5719), as^G2531 for^G4012 the people^G2992, so^G3779 also^G2532 for^G4012 himself^G1438, to offer^G4374^(G5721) for^G5228 sins^G266.

⁴ Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

KJVAnd^G2532 no^G3756 man^G5100 taketh^G2983^(G5719) this honour^G5092 unto himself^G1438, but^G235 he that is called^G2564^(G5746) of^G5259 God^G2316, as^G2509^G2532 was Aaron^G2.

⁵ So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”

KJVSo^G3779 also^G2532 Christ^G5547 glorified^G1392^(G5656) not^G3756 himself^G1438 to be made^G1096^(G5677) an high priest^G749; but^G235 he that said^G2980^(G5660) unto^G4314 him^G846, Thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) my^G3450 Son^G5207, to day^G4594 have^G1080 I^G1473 begotten^G1080^(G5758) thee^G4571.

⁶ As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”

KJVAs^G2531 he saith^G3004^(G5719) also^G2532 in^G1722 another^G2087 place, Thou^G4771 art a priest^G2409 for^G1519 ever^G165 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Melchisedec^G3198.

⁷ He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

KJVWho^G3739 in^G1722 the days^G2250 of his^G846 flesh^G4561, when he had offered up^G4374^(G5660) prayers^G1162 and^G5037^G2532 supplications^G2428 with^G3326 strong^G2478 crying^G2906 and^G2532 tears^G1144 unto^G4314 him that was able^G1410^(G5740) to save^G4982^(G5721) him^G846 from^G1537 death^G2288, and^G2532 was heard^G1522^(G5685) in that^G575 he feared^G2124;

⁸ though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

KJVThough^G2539 he were^G5607^(G5752) a Son^G5207, yet learned he^G3129^(G5627) obedience^G5218 by^G575 the things which^G3739 he suffered^G3958^(G5627);

⁹ Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

KJVAnd^G2532 being made perfect^G5048^(G5685), he became^G1096^(G5633) the author^G159 of eternal^G166 salvation^G4991 unto all^G3956 them that obey^G5219^(G5723) him^G846;

¹⁰ named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

KJVCalled^G4316^(G5685) of^G5259 God^G2316 an high priest^G749 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Melchisedec^G3198.

¹¹ About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

KJVOf^G4012 whom^G3739 we^G2254 have^G3056 many things^G4183 to say^G3056, and^G2532 hard^G1421 to be uttered^G3004^(G5721), seeing^G1893 ye are^G1096^(G5754) dull^G3576 of hearing^G189.

¹² For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

KJVFor^G2532^G1063 when for^G1223 the time^G5550 ye ought^G3784^(G5723) to be^G1511^(G5750) teachers^G1320, ye have^G2192^(G5719) need^G5532 that one teach^G1321^(G5721) you^G5209 again^G3825 which^G5101 be the first^G746 principles^G4747 of the oracles^G3051 of God^G2316; and^G2532 are become such as^G1096^(G5754) have^G2192^(G5723) need^G5532 of milk^G1051, and^G2532 not^G3756 of strong^G4731 meat^G5160.

¹³ For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

KJVFor^G1063 every one^G3956 that useth^G3348^(G5723) milk^G1051 is unskilful^G552 in the word^G3056 of righteousness^G1343: for^G1063 he is^G2076^(G5748) a babe^G3516.

¹⁴ But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

KJVBut^G1161 strong^G4731 meat^G5160 belongeth to them that are^G2076^(G5748) of full age^G5046, even those who by reason^G1223 of use^G1838 have^G2192^(G5723) their senses^G145 exercised^G1128^(G5772) to^G4314 discern^G1253 both^G5037 good^G2570 and^G2532 evil^G2556.
