¶ Therefore ¹leaving ²the ^[a]elementary teaching about the ^[b]Christ, let us press on to ^[c]³maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from ⁴dead works and of faith toward God,
of ⁵instruction about washings and ⁶laying on of hands, and the ⁷resurrection of the dead and ⁸eternal judgment.
And this we will do, ⁹if God permits.
For in the case of those who have once been ¹⁰enlightened and have tasted of ¹¹the heavenly gift and have been made ¹²partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and ¹³have tasted the good ¹⁴word of God and the powers of ¹⁵the age to come,
and then have fallen away, it is ¹⁶impossible to renew them again to repentance, ^[d]¹⁷since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.
For ground that drinks the rain which often ^[e]falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those ¹⁸for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;
but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and ¹⁹close ^[f]to being cursed, and ^[g]it ends up being burned.
¶ But, ²⁰beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that ^[h]accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way.
For ²¹God is not unjust so as to forget ²²your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ²³ministered and in still ministering to the ^[i]saints.
And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ^[j]so as to realize the ²⁴full assurance of ²⁵hope until the end,
so that you will not be sluggish, but ²⁶imitators of those who through ²⁷faith and patience ²⁸inherit the promises.
¶ For ²⁹when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He ³⁰swore by Himself,
saying, “³¹I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU.”
And so, ³²having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.
³³For men swear by ^[k]one greater than themselves, and with them ³⁴an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
^[l]In the same way God, desiring even more to show to ³⁵the heirs of the promise ³⁶the unchangeableness of His purpose, ^[m]interposed with an oath,
so that by two unchangeable things in which ³⁷it is impossible for God to lie, we who have ^[n]taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of ³⁸the hope set before us.
^[o]This ³⁹hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which ⁴⁰enters ^[p]within the veil,
⁴¹where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a ⁴²high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
