Rotherham(i)
1 Wherefore, dismissing the elementary discourse concerning the Christ, unto maturity, let us be tending, not, again, a foundation, laying down––of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God,
2 Of immersions––in respect of teaching, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of judgment age–abiding; ––
3 And, this, will we do, if at least, God, permit.
4 For it is impossible––as to these who have been, once for all, illuminated, who have tasted also of the heavenly free–gift, and have been made, partners, in a Holy Spirit,
5 And have tasted God’s utterance to be, sweet, mighty works also of a coming age,
6 And who have fallen away, again, to be remoulding them into repentance; seeing they are again crucifying unto themselves the Son of God, and holding him up as an example.
7 For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;
8 But, should it be bringing forth thorns and briars, it is disapproved, and, unto cursing, nigh,––whose end is for burning.
