Hebrews 6 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 So let's not get stuck on the basic teachings about Christ, but let's progress to a more mature understanding. We don't need to go over again the ideas of repenting from what we used to do, about trusting in God—
1 POR tanto, dejando la palabra del comienzo [en la doctrina] de Cristo, vamos adelante á la perfección; no echando otra vez el fundamento del arrepentimiento de obras muertas, y de la fe en Dios,
2 or teachings about baptism, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
2 De la doctrina de bautismos, y de la imposición de manos, y de la resurrección de los muertos, y del juicio eterno.
3 So let's get on with it, as God gives us the opportunity!
3 Y esto haremos á la verdad, si Dios [lo] permitiere.
4 It's impossible for those who once understood and experienced God's heavenly gift—who shared in receiving the Holy Spirit,
4 Porque es imposible que los que una vez fueron iluminados y gustaron el don celestial, y fueron hechos partícipes del Espíritu Santo,
5 who had known God's good word and the power of the coming age—
5 Y asimismo gustaron la buena palabra de Dios, y las virtudes del siglo venidero,
6 and then completely abandon God, for them to be brought back to repentance once more. They themselves have crucified the Son of God all over again and publicly humiliated him.
6 Y recayeron, sean otra vez renovados para arrepentimiento, crucificando de nuevo para sí mismos al Hijo de Dios, y exponiéndole á vituperio.
7 Land that has been watered by rain, and produces crops for those who farm it, has God's blessing.
7 Porque la tierra que embebe el agua que muchas veces vino sobre ella, y produce hierba provechosa á aquellos de los cuales es labrada, recibe bendición de Dios:
8 But land that only produces weeds and thorns is worthless, and is about to be condemned. In the end all that can be done is to burn it.
8 Mas la que produce espinas y abrojos, es reprobada, y cercana de maldición; cuyo fin será el ser abrasada.
9 But dear friends, we believe better of you and your salvation, even if we talk like this!
9 Pero de vosotros, oh amados, esperamos mejores cosas, y más cercanas á salud, aunque hablamos así.
10 God wouldn't be so unjust as to forget what you've done and the love you've shown for him by the care you've shown for fellow-believers—something you're still doing.
10 Porque Dios no es injusto para olvidar vuestra obra y el trabajo de amor que habéis mostrado á su nombre, habiendo asistido y asistiendo aún á los santos.
11 We want each of you to show the same kind of commitment, confident in God's hope until it's fulfilled.
11 Mas deseamos que cada uno de vosotros muestre la misma solicitud hasta el cabo, para cumplimiento de la esperanza:
12 Don't be spiritually lazy, but follow the example of those who through trusting in God and patience inherit what God has promised.
12 Que no os hagáis perezosos, mas imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia heredan las promesas.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham he could swear by no one greater so he took an oath on himself,
13 Porque prometiendo Dios á Abraham, no pudiendo jurar por otro mayor, juró por sí mismo,
14 saying, “I will definitely bless you, and multiply your descendants.”
14 Diciendo: De cierto te bendeciré bendiciendo, y multiplicando te multiplicaré.
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham received the promise.
15 Y así, esperando con largura de ánimo, alcanzó la promesa.
16 People swear on things that are greater than they are, and when they have some dispute the oath is taken as the final word on the matter.
16 Porque los hombres ciertamente por el mayor [que ellos] juran: y el fin de todas sus controversias es el juramento para confirmación.
17 That's why God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to those who would inherit the promise that he would never ever change his mind.
17 Por lo cual, queriendo Dios mostrar más abundantemente á los herederos de la promesa la inmutabilidad de su consejo, interpuso juramento;
18 So by these two actions that can't be changed, and since it's impossible for God to lie, we can have total confidence, having run for safety to take hold of the hope God presented to us.
18 Para que por dos cosas inmutables, en las cuales es imposible que Dios mienta, tengamos un fortísimo consuelo, los que nos acogemos á trabarnos de la esperanza propuesta:
19 This hope is our spiritual anchor—it's both certain and reliable, and it takes us past the curtain to the presence of God.
19 La cual tenemos como segura y firme ancla del alma, y que entra hasta dentro del velo;
20 That's where Jesus went in on our behalf, because he had become a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
20 Donde entró por nosotros [como] precursor Jesús, hecho Pontífice eternalmente según el orden de Melchîsedec.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
You have heard how much Paul found fault with the Hebrews for wishing to be always learning about the same things. And with good reason: "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the elements of the first principles of the oracles of God." ( c. v.
