YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on 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 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on also of hands, of rising again also of the dead, and of judgment age-during,
2 De la doctrina de bautismos, y de la imposición de manos, y de la resurrección de los muertos, y del juicio eterno.
3 and this we will do, if God may permit,
3 Y esto haremos á la verdad, si Dios [lo] permitiere.
4 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became of 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 and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the coming age,
5 Y asimismo gustaron la buena palabra de Dios, y las virtudes del siglo venidero,
6 and having fallen away, again to renew [them] to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.
6 Y recayeron, sean otra vez renovados para arrepentimiento, crucificando de nuevo para sí mismos al Hijo de Dios, y exponiéndole á vituperio.
7 For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,
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 and that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
8 Mas la que produce espinas y abrojos, es reprobada, y cercana de maldición; cuyo fin será el ser abrasada.
9 and we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,
9 Pero de vosotros, oh amados, esperamos mejores cosas, y más cercanas á salud, aunque hablamos así.
10 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;
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 and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end,
11 Mas deseamos que cada uno de vosotros muestre la misma solicitud hasta el cabo, para cumplimiento de la esperanza:
12 that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
12 Que no os hagáis perezosos, mas imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia heredan las promesas.
13 For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,
13 Porque prometiendo Dios á Abraham, no pudiendo jurar por otro mayor, juró por sí mismo,
14 saying, 'Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;'
14 Diciendo: De cierto te bendeciré bendiciendo, y multiplicando te multiplicaré.
15 and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;
15 Y así, esperando con largura de ánimo, alcanzó la promesa.
16 for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation [is] the oath,
16 Porque los hombres ciertamente por el mayor [que ellos] juran: y el fin de todas sus controversias es el juramento para confirmación.
17 in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,
17 Por lo cual, queriendo Dios mostrar más abundantemente á los herederos de la promesa la inmutabilidad de su consejo, interpuso juramento;
18 that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before [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 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,
19 La cual tenemos como segura y firme ancla del alma, y que entra hasta dentro del velo;
20 whither a forerunner for us did enter — Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become — to the age.
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).

  1. Commentary 6:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Hebrews (Homily IX)

    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.

    … us have regard to the completion; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of the baptismal font, and of the laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment." This is the copious supply of milk, without which even they cannot live, who have …

  3. Quotes verse 6:4 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book IV, Chapter IX)

    For it is impossible, he saith, for those who were once enlightened, &c., to renew them again unto repentance: seeing they crucify to themselves the Christ afresh, and put Him to an open shame.
