Hebrews 6:1-3

Expanded Bible

6 ·So [Therefore] let us ·go on to grown-up teaching [^Lmove forward to maturity/completeness]. Let us ·not go back over [^Lleave behind] the ·beginning [rudimentary; elementary] ·lessons [teaching; ^Lword] we learned about ·Christ [or the Messiah; 5:5]. We should not again ·start teaching [^Llay a foundation] about ·turning away [repentance] from ·those acts that lead to death [or useless works; ^Ldead works] and about faith in God. ² We should not return to the teaching about baptisms [^Ceither Christian baptism or Jewish ceremonial washings], about laying on of hands [^Ca ritual of blessing and/or conferring of authority], about the raising of the dead and eternal judgment [^Cthese may be Jewish practices or foundational Christian teaching]. ³ And we will ·go on to grown-up teaching [^Ldo this] if God allows.
