About whom, much subject matter from us is also difficult to explain, since ye have become sluggish in hearing. For also men who ought to be teachers because of the time, ye have need again for some man to teach you the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God, and have become men who have need of milk, and not of solid food. For every man partaking of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is childlike. read more.
But solid food is for mature men, those having their sensibilities trained through practice for the discernment of both good and evil.

Therefore having left the word of the primacy of Christ, let us be brought forward to perfection, not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this we will do, if of course God will permit. read more.
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and who tasted of the heavenly gift, and who became partakers of Holy Spirit, and who tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, and who fell away, to restore again to repentance, crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and disgracing him publicly. For the soil that has drunk the rain often coming upon it, and bringing forth vegetation useful for those by whom also it is cultivated, partakes of a blessing from God. But producing thorns and thistles it is unfit and near a curse, the end of which is for burning. But we are persuaded better things about you, beloved, and things that have salvation, even though we speak this way. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that ye showed toward his name, having served the sanctified, and who are serving. And we earnestly desire each of you to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end, so that ye may not become lazy, but imitators of those who, through faith and longsuffering, inherit the promises. For God who promised to Abraham, since he had none greater to swear by, swore by himself, saying, Surely indeed, blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men certainly swear by the greater, and of every dispute with them the oath is final for confirmation.

Grace of God » Growth in
Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
praying night and day above extraordinary in order to see your face and to mend the deficiencies of your faith?
and not holding to the head, from whom all the body, being supplied and held together through the connections and bonds, develops its growth from God.
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him is the glory both now and into the day of the age. Truly.
But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.
We are indebted to thank God always about you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is increasing greatly, and the love of each one of you all toward each other abounds.
They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment for you to examine the things that are significant. So that ye may be tested by sunlight and not stumbling toward the day of Christ, having been filled with fruits of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, for glory and praise of God.
Not that I have already obtained or have already been fully perfected, but I press forward, if also I might seize upon that for which also I was seized by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I reckon myself not to have seized, but one thing, indeed forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to the things ahead, I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. read more.
As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you.
As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you.
For you to walk worthily of the Lord for every desire to please, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened in every ability, according to the dominion of his glory, for all perseverance and longsuffering with joy.
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward each other, and toward all men, just as also we toward you, in order to establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his sanctified.

Therefore, having put off all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it, if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is excellent.

Whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. And he will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents.

Verse Concepts
And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
And if thy hand or thy foot causes thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee. It is good for thee to enter into life crippled or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

But whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit has no forgiveness, into the age, but is deserving of eternal damnation,

For LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion. And the streams of [Edom] shall be turned into pitch, and the dust of it into brimstone. And the land thereof shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night nor day. The smoke of it shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste. None shall pass through it forever and ever.
Any man who has disregarded the law of Moses dies without mercies from two or three witnesses. By how much worse punishment do ye think he will deserve who has trampled the Son of God, and who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who treated the Spirit of grace contemptuously? For we know him who said, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says Lord. And again, Lord will judge his people. read more.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
he also himself will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which was mixed undiluted in the cup of his anger. And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy agents and before the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends into the ages of ages.
