On to perfection
Dead works, faith |
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, |
|
|
Doctrines |
2 |
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. |
|
|
|
3 |
And this will we do, if God permit. |
|
|
Once
enlightened
|
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, |
|
¶
Gray's Priesthods (1) |
|
5 |
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
world to come, |
|
|
Fall way and crucify the Son of
God afresh |
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. |
|
¶
Gray's Priesthods (1) |
God blesses nature |
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: |
|
|
Curses thorns |
8 |
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and
is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. |
|
|
|
9 |
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things
that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. |
|
|
Doesn't forget labors
of love |
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. |
|
|
Hope to the end |
11 |
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence
to the full assurance of hope unto the end: |
|
|
Be faithful, patient |
12 |
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them
who through faith and patience inherit the promises. |
|
|
Promise to Abraham |
13 |
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear
by no greater, he sware by himself, |
|
|
|
14 |
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless
thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. |
|
|
|
15 |
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. |
|
|
|
16 |
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation
is to them an end of all strife. |
|
|
Promise to heirs |
17 |
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs
of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: |
|
|
|
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: |
|
|
Hope our anchor |
19 |
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; |
|
|
Jesus a high priest after order
of Melchisedec |
20 |
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even
Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. |
