Hebraeos 6

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem, ad perfectiora feramur, non rursum jacientes fundamentum pœnitentiæ ab operibus mortuis, et fidei ad Deum,	1 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,
2 baptismatum doctrinæ, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et judicii æterni.	2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.	3 And this will we do, if God permit.
4 Impossibile est enim eos qui semel sunt illuminati, gustaverunt etiam donum cæleste, et participes facti sunt Spiritus Sancti,	4 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,
5 gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum, virtutesque sæculi venturi,	5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 et prolapsi sunt ; rursus renovari ad pœnitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis Filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.	6 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.
7 Terra enim sæpe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur, accipit benedictionem a Deo :	7 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:
8 proferens autem spinas ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima : cujus consummatio in combustionem.	8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
9 Confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora, et viciniora saluti : tametsi ita loquimur.	9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 Non enim injustus Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.	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 Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eamdem ostentare sollicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem :	11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia hæreditabunt promissiones.	12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 Abrahæ namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem juraret, majorem, juravit per semetipsum,	13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 dicens : Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.	14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.	15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Homines enim per majorem sui jurant : et omnis controversiæ eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est juramentum.	16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17 In quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis hæredibus, immobilitatem consilii sui, interposuit jusjurandum :	17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 ut per duas res immobiles, quibus impossibile est mentiri Deum, fortissimum solatium habeamus, qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem,	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 quam sicut anchoram habemus animæ tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,	19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 ubi præcursor pro nobis introivit Jesus, secundum ordinem Melchisedech pontifex factus in æternum.	20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
