Gani tungod kay dugay na kita nga nagatuo, kinahanglan bayaan na naton inang mga nahauna nga mga pagpanudlo parte kay Cristo, kag magpadayon kita sa madalom nga mga pagpanudlo. Indi ta na pagbalik-balikon ang parte sa paghinulsol kag pagbiya sa wala sing pulos nga mga buhat kag ang parte sa pagtuo sa Dios, ang mga pagpanudlo parte sa pagbautiso, parte sa pagtungtong sang kamot sa ulo, sa pagbanhaw sang mga patay, kag sa paghukom sang Dios sa kada tawo kon ano ang iya mangin kahimtangan sa wala sing katapusan. Ang aton himuon, kon itugot sang Dios, magpadayon kita sa pagtuon sang madalom nga mga pagpanudlo 4-6 agod indi kita makabiya sa iya. Kay kon ang tawo magbiya sa Dios, indi na gid mahimo nga mapahinulsol siya kag mapabalik liwat sa Dios. Nasanagan na ang iya hunahuna, nakaambit na siya sang pagpakamaayo nga halin sa Dios, nakabaton na sang Espiritu Santo, nakatilaw na sang mga pagpakamaayo nga halin sa pulong sang Dios, kag nabatyagan pa niya ang gahom nga ipakita gid sa palaabuton nga mga inadlaw. Pagkatapos kon magbiya pa siya sa Dios, indi na gid mahimo nga mapahinulsol siya kag mapabalik liwat sa Dios, tungod kay pareho lang nga ginalansang niya liwat sa krus kag ginapakahuy-an ang Anak sang Dios.

Ang aton halimbawa pareho sa duta nga ginapakamaayo sang Dios kon pagkatapos nga maulanan permi nagapatubo sang mga tanom nga mapuslan sang nagapangabudlay sini. Pero kon ang nagatubo puro lang tunukon nga tanom, ti wala ina sing pulos; gani sumpaon na lang sang Dios, kag sa ulihi sunugon.

Mga hinigugma, bisan nagahambal kami pareho sini sa inyo, nasiguro namon nga maayo ang inyo kahimtangan kon parte sa inyo kaluwasan. 10 Matarong ang Dios, kag indi mahimo nga malimtan niya ang inyo maayo nga mga binuhatan kag ang inyo gugma sa iya nga inyo ginpakita kag padayon nga ginapakita paagi sa inyo pagbulig sa inyo kapareho nga mga katawhan sang Dios. 11 Gusto namon nga ang kada isa sa inyo magpadayon nga matutom sa inyo paglaom sa Dios hasta sa katapusan, agod mabaton ninyo ang inyo ginalauman. 12 Indi kamo magtinamad, kundi sunda ninyo ang mga tawo nga paagi sa ila pagtuo kag pagkamainantuson nagabaton sang mga promisa sang Dios.

Matuod gid ang Promisa sang Dios

13 Tan-awa bala ninyo si Abraham: sang magpromisa ang Dios sa iya, wala naggamit ang Dios sang iban nga ngalan agod pamatud-an niya ang iya promisa kundi gin-gamit niya ang iya kaugalingon nga ngalan tungod kay wala na sing may makalabaw pa sa iya. 14 Nagsiling siya, “Pakamaayuhon ko gid ikaw kag padamuon ko gid ang imo mga kaliwat.”[a] 15 Karon, naghulat si Abraham nga may pagpailob, gani nabaton niya ang ginpromisa sang Dios. 16 Nagapanumpa ang tawo sa ngalan sang Dios nga mas labaw pa sa iya agod patihan siya kag para wala na sing madamo pa nga sugilanon. 17 Amo man ang ginhimo sang Dios sang una sa mga tawo nga iya ginpromisahan. Ginpakita niya sa ila paagi sa iya pagsumpa nga tumanon gid niya ang iya ginpromisa. 18 Kag ang duha nga ini ka butang, ang promisa kag ang sumpa, indi gid magbalhin, kay indi gid mahimo nga magbutig ang Dios. Gani kita nga nakadangop na sa iya may malig-on na gid nga paglaom nga himuon gid niya ang iya ginpromisa sa aton. 19 Ang ini nga paglaom amo ang nagahatag sang kasiguruhan sa aton kabuhi, kay nagaabot ini mismo sa Labing Balaan nga Lugar 20 nga sa diin didto si Jesus nga nag-una para sa aton. Siya ang aton wala sing katapusan nga pangulo nga pari pareho sang pagkapari ni Melkizedek.

  1. 6:14 Gen. 22:16, 17.

Therefore let us move beyond(A) the elementary teachings(B) about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a](C) and of faith in God, instruction about cleansing rites,[b](D) the laying on of hands,(E) the resurrection of the dead,(F) and eternal judgment. And God permitting,(G) we will do so.

It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened,(H) who have tasted the heavenly gift,(I) who have shared in the Holy Spirit,(J) who have tasted the goodness(K) of the word of God(L) and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance.(M) To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God(N) all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed.(O) In the end it will be burned.

Even though we speak like this, dear friends,(P) we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.(Q) 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope(R) for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate(S) those who through faith and patience(T) inherit what has been promised.(U)

The Certainty of God’s Promise

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,(V) 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”[d](W) 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.(X)

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.(Y) 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging(Z) nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised,(AA) he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie,(AB) we who have fled to take hold of the hope(AC) set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,(AD) 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.(AE) He has become a high priest(AF) forever, in the order of Melchizedek.(AG)

  1. Hebrews 6:1 Or from useless rituals
  2. Hebrews 6:2 Or about baptisms
  3. Hebrews 6:6 Or age, if they fall
  4. Hebrews 6:14 Gen. 22:17

Therefore 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,

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

And this will we do, if God permit.

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,

And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

If 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.

For 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:

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

10 For 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.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

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 upon the hope set before us:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
