Hebrews 6
English Standard Version
6 Therefore (A)let us leave (B)the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance (C)from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of (D)instruction about washings,[a] (E)the laying on of hands, (F)the resurrection of the dead, and (G)eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do (H)if God permits. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those (I)who have once been enlightened, who have tasted (J)the heavenly gift, and (K)have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and (L)have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and (M)then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since (N)they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 7 For (O)land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But (P)if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, (Q)and its end is to be burned.
9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. 10 For (R)God is not unjust so as to overlook (S)your work and the love that you have shown for his name in (T)serving the saints, as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance (U)of hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish, but (V)imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
The Certainty of God's Promise
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, (W)he swore by himself, 14 saying, (X)“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15 And thus Abraham,[b] (Y)having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes (Z)an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to (AA)the heirs of the promise (AB)the unchangeable character of his purpose, (AC)he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which (AD)it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope (AE)set before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into (AF)the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone (AG)as a forerunner on our behalf, (AH)having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
6 Kaya bilang matatagal nang sumasampalataya, dapat na nating iwan ang mga panimulang aralin tungkol kay Cristo, at magpatuloy sa mga malalalim na aralin. Huwag na tayong magpabalik-balik pa sa mga aral tungkol sa pagsisisi at pagtalikod sa mga bagay na walang kabuluhan, at tungkol sa pananampalataya sa Dios, 2 mga aral tungkol sa bautismo, pagpapatong ng kamay sa ulo, muling pagkabuhay ng mga patay, at paghahatol ng Dios sa magiging kalagayan ng tao magpakailanman. 3 Sa halip, kung loloobin ng Dios, magpatuloy tayo sa malalalim na aralin, 4-6 upang hindi natin siya talikuran. Sapagkat kung tatalikuran ng isang tao ang Dios, hindi na siya mapagsisisi at mapapanumbalik pa sa Dios. Naliwanagan na ang pag-iisip niya, nakatikim na ng mga biyaya mula sa langit, tumanggap ng Banal na Espiritu, nakatikim na ng kabutihang dulot ng salita ng Dios, at nakadama na ng kapangyarihang ihahayag sa huling araw. Pagkatapos, kung tumalikod pa rin siya sa Dios, hindi na siya mapagsisisi at mapapanumbalik sa Dios dahil para na rin niyang ipinakong muli sa krus at dinala sa kahihiyan ang Anak ng Dios.
7 Tulad tayo ng lupang pinagpapala ng Dios, na matapos tumanggap ng masaganang ulan ay tinutubuan ng mga halamang pakikinabangan ng magsasaka. 8 Ngunit kung matitinik na mga halaman lang ang tumutubo roon, wala itong pakinabang. Nanganganib itong sumpain na lang ng Dios, at sa bandang huli ay susunugin.
9 Mga minamahal, kahit na ganito ang sinasabi namin, nakakatiyak kaming nasa mabuti kayong kalagayan tungkol sa kaligtasan ninyo. 10 Makatarungan ang Dios, at hindi niya magagawang kalimutan ang inyong mabubuting gawa at ang pagmamahal na ipinakita ninyo sa kanya at patuloy na ipinapakita sa pamamagitan ng pagtulong sa mga kapwa pinabanal[a] ng Dios. 11 Nais naming patuloy na maging masigasig ang bawat isa sa inyo sa pag-asa nʼyo sa Dios hanggang sa wakas, para makamtan ninyo ang inaasahan ninyo. 12 Huwag kayong maging tamad, sa halip, tularan nʼyo ang mga tao na tumatanggap ng mga ipinangako ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya nila at pagtitiis.
Tiyak ang Pangako ng Dios
13 Tingnan nʼyo ang karanasan ni Abraham: Nang mangako ang Dios kay Abraham, hindi siya gumamit ng ibang pangalan para patunayan ang pangako niya, kundi ginamit niya ang sarili niyang pangalan dahil wala nang makahihigit pa sa kanya. 14 Sinabi niya, “Talagang pagpapalain kita at pararamihin ko ang lahi mo.”[b] 15 At pagkatapos ng matiyagang paghihintay, natanggap ni Abraham ang mga ipinangako sa kanya. 16 Nanunumpa ang mga tao sa pangalan ng Dios na mas nakahihigit sa kanila para paniwalaan sila at wala ng pag-usapan pa. 17 Ganito rin ang ginawa ng Dios noon sa mga taong pinangakuan niya. Ipinakita niya sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng panunumpa na tutuparin niya ang pangako niya. 18 At ang dalawang bagay na ito – ang pangako niya at panunumpa – ay hindi mababago, dahil hindi magagawang magsinungaling ng Dios. Kaya tayong mga nagpakalinga sa kanya ay may matibay na pag-asang pinanghahawakan na gagawin niya ang ipinangako niya sa atin. 19 Ang pag-asang ito ay matibay tulad ng angkla, at ito ay nagbibigay kapanatagan sa buhay natin, dahil umaabot ito sa Pinakabanal na Lugar, 20 kung saan nauna nang pumasok si Jesus para sa atin. Siya ang punong pari natin magpakailanman, katulad ng pagkapari ni Melkizedek.
Hebrews 6
New King James Version
The Peril of Not Progressing
6 Therefore, (A)leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to [a]perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from (B)dead works and of faith toward God, 2 (C)of the doctrine of baptisms, (D)of laying on of hands, (E)of resurrection of the dead, (F)and of eternal judgment. 3 And this [b]we will do if God permits.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted (G)the heavenly gift, and (H)have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 [c]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, (I)since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, (J)receives blessing from God; 8 (K)but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
A Better Estimate
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For (L)God is not unjust to forget (M)your work and [d]labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have (N)ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence (O)to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become [e]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience (P)inherit the promises.
God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, (Q)He swore by Himself, 14 saying, (R)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the (S)promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and (T)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (U)the heirs of promise (V)the [f]immutability of His counsel, [g]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [h]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (W)lie, we [i]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (X)set before us.
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, (Y)and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 (Z)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, (AA)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
