Hebrews 6

Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,
1Quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem, ad perfectiora feramur, non rursum jacientes fundamentum pœnitentiæ ab operibus mortuis, et fidei ad Deum,
2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
2baptismatum doctrinæ, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et judicii æterni.
3And this we will do, if God permits.
3Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.
4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
4Impossibile est enim eos qui semel sunt illuminati, gustaverunt etiam donum cæleste, et participes facti sunt Spiritus Sancti,
5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—
5gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum, virtutesque sæculi venturi,
6and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.
6et prolapsi sunt; rursus renovari ad pœnitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis Filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.
7For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.
7Terra enim sæpe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem a Deo:
8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
8proferens autem spinas ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima: cujus consummatio in combustionem.
9Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.
9Confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora, et viciniora saluti: tametsi ita loquimur.
10For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
10Non enim injustus Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.
11We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
11Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eamdem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem:
12Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
12ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia hæreditabunt promissiones.
13When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
13Abrahæ namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem juraret, majorem, juravit per semetipsum,
14saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”
14dicens: Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.
15And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.
15Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.
16Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
16Homines enim per majorem sui jurant: et omnis controversiæ eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est juramentum.
17So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.
17In quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis hæredibus, immobilitatem consilii sui, interposuit jusjurandum:
18Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
18ut per duas res immobiles, quibus impossibile est mentiri Deum, fortissimum solatium habeamus, qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem,
19We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
19quam sicut anchoram habemus animæ tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,
20where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
20ubi præcursor pro nobis introivit Jesus, secundum ordinem Melchisedech pontifex factus in æternum.
