Hebrews 6:1

6:1 Therefore we must progress beyond ¹  the elementary ²  instructions about Christ ³  and move on ⁴  to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

Hebrews 6:4-6

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, ⁵  to renew them again to repentance, since ⁶  they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again ⁷  and holding him up to contempt.

[6:1]  ¹ tn Grk “Therefore leaving behind.” The implication is not of abandoning this elementary information, but of building on it.

[6:1]  ² tn Or “basic.”

[6:1]  ³ tn Grk “the message of the beginning of Christ.”

[6:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “leaving behind…let us move on.”

[6:6]  ⁵ tn Or “have fallen away.”

[6:6]  ⁶ tn Or “while”; Grk “crucifying…and holding.” The Greek participles here (“crucifying…and holding”) can be understood as either causal (“since”) or temporal (“while”).

[6:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “recrucifying the son of God for themselves.”
