Concerning Whom we have much to say and difficult to explain, since ye have become dull of hearing.

For the land which drank in the rain that often comes upon it, and brings forth an herb fit for those for whose sake also it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but, if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected, and is near to a curse; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we have become persuaded better things concerning you, and things accompanying salvation, even though we thus speak; for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward His name, in having ministered to the saints, and still ministering. And we desire that each of you show forth the same diligence to the full assurance of the hope to the end; that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and long-suffering, inherit the promises. For God, when making a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, swore by Himself, saying, "Surely, blessing, I will bless you; and multiplying, I will multiply you." And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men swear by the greater; and the oath for confirmation is an end, to them, of every dispute:
