希伯来书 6
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
6 所以，我们应当离开基督道理的基础，竭力进到成熟的地步；不必再立根基，就如懊悔致死的行为、信靠 神、 2 各样洗礼、按手礼、死人复活，以及永远的审判等的教导。 3 神若准许，我们就这样做。 4-6 论到那些已经蒙了光照、尝过天恩的滋味、又于圣灵有份、并尝过 神的话的美味，和来世权能的人，若再离弃真道，就不可能使他们重新懊悔了；因为他们亲自把 神的儿子重钉十字架，公然羞辱他。 7 就如一块田地吸收过屡次下的雨水，生长蔬菜，合乎耕种的人用，就从 神得福。 8 这块田地若长荆棘和蒺藜，必被废弃，近于诅咒，结局就是焚烧。
9 亲爱的，虽然这样说，我们仍深信你们有更好的情况，更接近救恩。 10 因为 神并非不公义，竟忘记你们的工作和你们为他的名所显的爱心，就是你们过去和现在伺候圣徒的爱心。 11 我们盼望你们各人都显出同样的热忱，一直到底，好达成所确信的指望。 12 这样你们才不会懒惰，却成为效法那些藉着信和忍耐承受应许的人。
神确切的应许
13 当初 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，就指着自己起誓， 14 说：“我必多多赐福给你；我必使你大大增多。” 15 这样，亚伯拉罕因恒心等待而得了所应许的。 16 人都是指着比自己大的起誓，并且以起誓作保证，了结各样的争论。 17 照样， 神愿意为那承受应许的人更有力地显明他的旨意不可更改，他以起誓作保证。 18 藉这两件不可更改的事—在这些事上， 神绝不会说谎—我们这些逃往避难所的人能得到强有力的鼓励，去抓住那摆在我们前头的指望。 19 我们有这指望，如同灵魂的锚，又坚固又牢靠，进入幔子后面的至圣所。 20 为我们作先锋的耶稣，既照着麦基洗德的体系成了永远的大祭司，已经进入了。
Hebrews 6
1599 Geneva Bible
6 1 He briefly toucheth the childish slothfulness of the Hebrews, 4 and terrifieth them with severe threatenings: 7 He stirreth them up to endeavor in time to go forward: 9 He hopeth well of them: 13 He allegeth Abraham’s example: 17 and compareth faith that taketh hold on the word, 19 unto an anchor.
1 Therefore, leaving the doctrine of the [a]beginning of Christ, let us be led forward unto perfection, [b]not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do if God permit.
4 (A)[c] For it is [d]impossible that they which were once lightened, and have [e]tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted of the good word of God, and of the powers of the world to come,
6 If they fall away, should be renewed again by repentance: seeing they [f]crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and make a mock of him.
7 [g]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 of God.
8 But that which beareth thorns and briars, is reproved, and is near unto cursing, whose end is to be burned.
9 [h]But beloved, we have persuaded ourselves better things of you, and such as accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 [i]For God is not unrighteous, that he should forget your work, and labor of love, which ye showed toward his Name, in that ye have ministered unto the Saints, and yet minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope unto the end,
12 [j]That ye be not slothful, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
13 [k]For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he had no greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
14 Saying, (B)Surely I will [l]abundantly bless thee, and multiply thee marvelously.
15 And so after that he had tarried patiently, he enjoyed the promise.
16 For men verily swear by him that is greater than themselves, and an oath for confirmation is among them an end of all strife.
17 So God, willing more [m]abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the stableness of his counsel, bound himself by an oath,
18 That by two immutable things, wherein it is impossible that God should lie, we might have strong consolation, which have our refuge to lay hold upon that hope that is set before us,
19 [n]Which hope we have, as an anchor of the soul, but sure and steadfast, and it entereth into that which is within the veil.
20 [o]Whither the forerunner is for us entered in, even Jesus that is made an high Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Footnotes
- Hebrews 6:1 The first principles of Christian religion, which we call the Catechism.
- Hebrews 6:1 Certain principles of a Catechism, which comprehend the sum of the doctrine of the Gospel, were given in few words and briefly to the rude and ignorant, to wit, the profession of repentance and faith in God: the articles of which doctrine, were demanded of them which were not as yet received members of the Church, at the days appointed for Baptism: and of the children of the faithful which were baptized in their infancy: when hands were laid upon them. And of those articles, two are by name recited: the resurrection of the flesh, and the eternal judgment.
- Hebrews 6:4 He addeth a vehemency to his exhortation, and a most sharp threatening of the certain destruction that shall come to them which fall from God and his religion.
- Hebrews 6:4 He speaketh of a general backsliding, and such as do altogether fall away from the faith, and not of sins which are committed through the frailty of man against the first and the second table.
- Hebrews 6:4 We must mark the force of this word, for it is one thing to believe as Lydia did, whose heart God opened, Acts 16:13, and another thing to have some taste.
- Hebrews 6:6 As men that hate Christ, and as though they crucified him again make him a mocking stock to all the world, and that to their own destruction, as Julian the Apostate or backslider did.
- Hebrews 6:7 He setteth forth the former threatening with a similitude.
- Hebrews 6:9 He mitigateth and assuageth all that sharpness, hoping better of them to whom he writeth.
- Hebrews 6:10 He praiseth them for their charity, thereby encouraging them to go forward, and to hold out to the end.
- Hebrews 6:12 He showeth what virtues chiefly they have need of to go forward constantly, and also to profit: to wit, of charity, and patience: and lest any man should object and say, that these things are impossible to be done, he willeth them to set before themselves the examples of their ancestors, and to follow them.
- Hebrews 6:13 Another prick to prick them forward: Because the hope of the inheritance is certain, if we continue to the end, for God hath not only promised it, but also promised it with an oath.
- Hebrews 6:14 I will heap up benefits most plentifully upon thee.
- Hebrews 6:17 More than was needful, were it not for the wickedness of men which believe not God, no though he swear.
- Hebrews 6:19 He likeneth hope to an anchor: because that even as an anchor being cast into the bottom of the sea, stayeth the whole ship, so doth hope also enter even into the very secret places of heaven. And he maketh mention of the Sanctuary, alluding to the old tabernacle, and by this means returneth to the comparisons of the Priesthood of Christ with the Levitical.
- Hebrews 6:20 He repeateth David’s words, wherein all those comparisons whereof he hath before made mention, are signified, as he declareth in all the next chapter.
