New King James Version, 1982 - Hebrews 6 (NKJV Bible)

Hebrews Chapter 6 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ Therefore, [1†]leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from [2†]dead works and of faith toward God,

² [3†]of the doctrine of baptisms, [4†]of laying on of hands, [5†]of resurrection of the dead, [6†]and of eternal judgment.

³ And this we will do if God permits.

⁴ For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted [7†]the heavenly gift, and [8†]have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

⁶ if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, [9†]since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

⁷ For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, [10†]receives blessing from God;

⁸ [11†]but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

⁹ But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

¹⁰ For [12†]God is not unjust to forget [13†]your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have [14†]ministered to the saints, and do minister.

¹¹ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence [15†]to the full assurance of hope until the end,

¹² that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience [16†]inherit the promises.

¹³ For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, [17†]He swore by Himself,

¹⁴ saying, [18†]“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

¹⁵ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the [19†]promise.

¹⁶ For men indeed swear by the greater, and [20†]an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

¹⁷ Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to [21†]the heirs of promise [22†]the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to [23†]lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope [24†]set before us.

¹⁹ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, [25†]and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

²⁰ [26†]where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, [27†]having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
