1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ ⲭⲁϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲛⲉϩ.
2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲁⲓϥ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ.
3And this will we do, if God permit.

4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙϯⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ.
5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲣⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲕⲉⲥⲟⲡ ⲥⲉ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲣⲁϩ.
6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

7For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛϣⲟⲛϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲁⲧϣⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉϥϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲕϩϥ.
8But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
9ⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲑⲏⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ ϧⲁ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ.
9But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
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 unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲁ ϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
11And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12ϩⲓⲛⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
12That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϭⲟⲥⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲱⲣⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
13For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲕ⳿ϫⲣⲟϫ ⳿ⲁϣⲁⲓ.
14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲁ ⲧⲟⲧϥ ϣⲁϣⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲱϣ.
15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲁⲩⲱⲣⲕ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛⲁⲛⲧⲓⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲁⲛⲁϣ.
16For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲱϣ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲥⲓⲧⲏ ⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲛⲁϣ.
17Where in God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by 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.
18That 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 upon the hope set before us:
19ⲑⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲩϫⲁⲗ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧϣⲟϥⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲁϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲧⲁⲥⲙⲁ.
19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲇⲣⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲧⲧⲁⲝⲓⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲭ ⲓⲥⲉⲇⲉⲕ
20Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
