Hebrews 6

1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Compare verse
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Compare verse
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
Compare verse
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Compare verse
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Compare verse
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Compare verse
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes oft on it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God:
Compare verse
8 But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is near to cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Compare verse
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
Compare verse
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which you have showed toward his name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Compare verse
11 And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end:
Compare verse
12 That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Compare verse
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
Compare verse
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
Compare verse
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Compare verse
16 For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Compare verse
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
Compare verse
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us:
Compare verse
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;
Compare verse
20 Where the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
