希伯来书 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
6 1-2 所以，我们应当离开基督初步的道理，努力进到成熟的地步，不必在懊悔致死的行为，信靠 神，洗礼，按手礼，死人复活，和永远审判的教训上再立根基。 3 只要 神允许，我们就这样作。 4 因为那些曾经蒙了光照，尝过属天的恩赐的滋味，与圣灵有分， 5 并且尝过 神美善的道和来世的权能的人， 6 如果偏离了正道，就不可能再使他们重新悔改了。因为他们亲自把 神的儿子再钉在十字架上，公然羞辱他。 7 这就像一块地，吸收了常常下在它上面的雨水，如果长出对种植的人有用的菜蔬，就从 神那里得福。 8 但如果这块地长出荆棘和蒺藜来，就被废弃，近于咒诅，结局就是焚烧。
9 不过，亲爱的弟兄们，我们虽然这样说，但对于你们，我们却深信你们有更好的表现，结局就是得救。 10 因为 神并不是不公义，以致忘记了你们的工作，和你们为他的名所表现的爱心，就是你们以前服事圣徒，现在还是服事他们。 11 我们深愿你们各人都表现同样的热诚，一直到底，使你们的盼望可以完全实现， 12 并且不要懒惰，却要效法那些凭着信心和忍耐承受应许的人。
神起誓保证他的应许
13 神应许亚伯拉罕的时候，因为没有比自己更大的可以指着起誓，他就指着自己起誓， 14 说：“我必定赐福给你，必定使你的后裔繁多。” 15 这样，亚伯拉罕耐心等待，终于获得了所应许的。 16 因为人起誓都是指着比自己大的起誓。这誓言就了结了他们中间的一切纠纷，作为保证。 17 照样， 神定意向那些承受应许的人，更清楚地表明他的旨意是不更改的，就用起誓作保证。 18 这两件事是不能更改的，因为 神是决不说谎的。因此，我们这些逃进避难所的人，就大得安慰，抓紧那摆在我们面前的盼望。 19 我们有这盼望，就像灵魂的锚，又稳当又坚固，通过幔子直进到里面。 20 耶稣已经为我们作先锋进入了幔子里面；他是照着麦基洗德的体系，成了永远的大祭司。
希 伯 來 書 6
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
6 所以，让我们把关于基督的基本教义留在后边，继续成熟。不要重新打这些基础，即对导致死亡行为的忏悔和对上帝的信仰， 2 以及关于洗礼的教导，按手礼，死者复活和永恒的判决。 3 如果上帝允许，这才是我们要做的事情。
4 再让这些人回归忏悔是不可能的，因为他们已经受到过启蒙，经受过天堂的恩赐，共享过圣灵， 5 体会过上帝话语的好处，以及即将来临的时代的力量，然后又背离了基督的人。再让这些人回归忏悔是不可能的， 6 因为，他们再次把上帝的儿子钉死在十字架上，让他当众蒙受羞辱，这对他们自己是个损失。
7 如果一片土地吸收了频降的雨水，为种地的人长出有用的庄稼，那么它就会受到上帝的祝福； 8 但是长出毫无用处的荆棘和蒺藜的土地却毫无价值，并有受到诅咒的危险它将被烈火焚烧。
9 亲爱的朋友们，尽管我们这么说，但是我们还是相信你们会得到更好的事情，那就是给你们带来拯救的事情。 10 因为上帝是公平的，他不会忘记你们的工作和你们对他的爱，这爱体现在你们过去和现在给予上帝子民的帮助之中。 11 但是，我们期望你们每个人努力到底，最终实现你们的希望。 12 我们希望你们不要变得懒惰，而要效仿那些靠信仰和耐心继承了上帝的许诺的人。
13 上帝向亚伯拉罕许诺的时候，因为没有比他更伟大的人可以凭着发誓，他就凭着自己发誓说： 14 “我将赐大福给你，赐给你众多的子孙后代。” 15 于是，亚伯拉罕耐心地等待着，后来就得到了上帝所许诺的。
16 人们都是用高于自己的人起誓，这誓言证明了所说属实，并结束了一切的争论。 17 上帝要让继承他的许诺的人们清楚地知道，他不会改变初衷，所以，便又用一句誓言来担保。 18 上帝这么做，凭着两件不可能改变的事情。上帝是不可能撒谎的，以至使我们这些逃出苦难的人，抓住摆在我们面前的希望的人，受到极大的鼓舞， 19 我们把这希望当做坚固有力的锚，它让我们安全，它使我们进入帘幕后的至圣处。 20 耶稣代表我们首先进入了这个地方。就像麦基洗德一样，他永远是大祭司。
Hebrews 6
New English Translation
6 Therefore we must progress beyond[a] the elementary[b] instructions about Christ[c] and move on[d] to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works[e] and faith in God, 2 teaching about ritual washings,[f] laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And this is what we intend to do,[g] if God permits. 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, 5 tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age, 6 and then have committed apostasy,[h] to renew them again to repentance, since[i] they are crucifying the Son of God for themselves all over again[j] and holding him up to contempt. 7 For the ground that has soaked up the rain that frequently falls on[k] it and yields useful vegetation for those who tend it receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is useless and about to be cursed;[l] its fate is to be burned. 9 But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation. 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. 11 But we passionately want each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness for the fulfillment of your hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish,[m] but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.
13 Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “Surely I will bless you greatly and multiply your descendants abundantly.”[n] 15 And so by persevering, Abraham[o] inherited the promise. 16 For people[p] swear by something greater than themselves,[q] and the oath serves as a confirmation to end all dispute.[r] 17 In the same way[s] God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to the heirs of the promise that his purpose was unchangeable,[t] and so he intervened with an oath, 18 so that we who have found refuge in him[u] may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain,[v] 20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.[w]
