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,
2ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ ⲭⲁϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ.
2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲁⲓϥ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ.
3And this we will do, if God permits.

4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙϯⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲣⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲣⲁϩ.
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.
7ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲥⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲟⲩⲛϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲏ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲉϥⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲓⲉⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲟⲩ ϣⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ.
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.
8ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϣⲟⲛϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲁⲧϣⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉϥϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲕϩϥ.
8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
9ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
9Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.
10⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲉϥϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲱⲃϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡϧⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛϩⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲟⲛ.
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.
11ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
11We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
12ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
12Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
13ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϭⲟⲥⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
13When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
14ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ.
14saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁ ⲧⲟⲧϥ ϣⲁϣⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ.
15And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.
16ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲁⲩⲱⲣⲕ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲛⲁϣ.
16Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
17⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏ ⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ.
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.
18ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲁⲑⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲑⲛⲟⲩϫ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲭⲱ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲉⲥϫⲟⲣ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲫⲱⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁⲛ.
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.
19ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧϣⲟϥⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ.
19We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
20ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲇⲣⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭ ⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ
20where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
