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 the laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement

And this we will do, if God permit

But it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and having 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, putting him to an open shame

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, recieveth blessing from God

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and 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

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister

For we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end

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

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

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

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

For men verily swear by the greater. An oath of confirmation is to them an end of all strife

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

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

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

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek
