Text -- Hebrews 6:1-15 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
6:1 Therefore we must progress beyond the elementary instructions about Christ and move on to maturity , not laying this foundation again : repentance from dead works and faith in God ,
6:2 teaching about baptisms , laying on of hands , resurrection of the dead , and eternal judgment .
6:3 And this is what we intend to do , if God permits .
6:4 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened , tasted the heavenly gift , become partakers of the Holy Spirit ,
6:5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age ,
6:6 and then have committed apostasy , to renew them again to repentance , since they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again and holding him up to contempt .
6:7 For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God .
6:8 But if it produces thorns and thistles , it is useless and about to be cursed ; its fate is to be burned .
6:9 But in your case, dear friends , even though we speak like this , we are convinced of better things relating to salvation .
6:10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name , in having served and continuing to serve the saints .
6:11 But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end ,
6:12 so that you may not be sluggish , but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises .
6:13 Now when God made his promise to Abraham , since he could swear by no one greater , he swore by himself ,
6:14 saying , “Surely I will bless you greatly and multiply your descendants abundantly .”
6:15 And so by persevering , Abraham inherited the promise .
