became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:11Hebrews 5:11Concerning him we have much to
say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

Hebrews 5:12Hebrews 5:12For though by this time you ought
to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
![Page 17: Hebrews © John Stevenson, 2011. Than the angels 1-23-48-910 Hebrews Than Moses or Joshua As a High Priest Offering a better sacrifice Jesus is Better…](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e195503460f94b05a4c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hebrews 5:13-14Hebrews 5:13-14For everyone who partakes only of
milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

Hebrews 6:1-3Hebrews 6:1-3Therefore leaving the elementary
teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do, if God permits.

Hebrews 6:4-6Hebrews 6:4-6For in the case of those who have
once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

which often falls upon it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

Hebrews 6:9-10Hebrews 6:9-10But, beloved, we are convinced of
better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. 10 For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

Hebrews 6:11-12Hebrews 6:11-12And we desire that each one of you
show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:13-15Hebrews 6:13-15For when God made the promise
to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and I will surely multiply you.” 15 And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.

themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

Hebrews 6:17-18Hebrews 6:17-18In the same way God, desiring
even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

Hebrews 6:19-20Hebrews 6:19-20This hope we have as an anchor of
the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, 20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
