5:11 Becoming mature believers

11 We have a lot to say about that, but it’s hard to explain because you’ve all become lazy at listening. 12 Yes, because you all ought to be teachers by now, yet you still need to have someone teaching you the basics of God’s ways and you’ve become like those who need milk instead of solid food.[ref] 13 Everyone who drinks milk doesn’t really understand the message about righteousness, because they’re still infants, 14 but mature people have solid food meaning that their senses have been trained and they can distinguish good from evil.

6 So then, having left the basics of the messiah’s message, we should move on towards maturity—not repeating the foundations of repenting from useless religious actions and faith in God, 2 of teachings about immersion in water and prayerfully placing your hands on people, and the resurrection of the dead followed by eternal judgement. 3 And we’ll be moving on from all that if God permits.

4 It’s impossible for those who’ve understood this and who’ve tasted the heavenly gift and become partakers of the holy spirit 5 and who’ve tasted God’s message and the powers of the coming age 6 and who’ve fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. It’s like they themselves are executing God’s son again and publicly shaming him.

7 The land that soaks in the frequent rains and grows crops suitable for those who’re cultivating it, is receiving a blessing from God, 8 but if it’s producing thorns and thistles,[ref] then it’s useless and a liability and will end up being burned off.

9 But dear friends, even though we speak like this, we’ve been convinced to expect better things from you—things that accompany salvation. 10 Yes, God isn’t unjust such that he’d forget about your work and the love that you all displayed towards him, having ministered to other believers as you still do. 11 And our desire is for each of you to be displaying the same earnestness and the full assurance of hope until the end 12 so that you all won’t become sluggish, but become imitators of those who through their faith and patience will be inheriting what God has promised.

5:12-13: 1Cor 3:2.

6:8: Gen 3:17-18.

11 Concerning whom much to _us the speech, and hard _to _explain to _be _speaking, because sluggish you _all _have _become in _the hearing.
12 For/Because even ought to _be teachers because _of the time, again need you _all _are _having of _the one to _be _teaching you _all, someone the principles of _the beginning of _the oracles of_ the _god, and you _all _have _become need having of _milk, not of _solid food.
13 For/Because everyone which partaking of _milk is inexperienced in_the_message of _righteousness, because/for an_infant he _is.
14 But for_the_mature is the solid food, of _who because _of the practice their senses having _been _trained, having for distinction, of _good both and evil.
6 Therefore having _left the of _the beginning of _the chosen _one /messiah message, to the perfection we _may _be _being _brought, not again a_foundation laying _down of _repentance from dead works, and faith in god, 2 of _washings teaching, and of _laying _on of _hands, and of_the_resurrection of_the_dead, and of _judgment eternal.
3 And this we _will _be _doing, if _indeed may _be _permitting the god.
4 For/Because impossible it _is the ones once having _been _enlightened, and having _tasted of _the gift the heavenly, and partakers having _been _become of_the_spirit holy, 5 and the_good having _tasted of_god the_message, and the_powers of_the_coming age, 6 and having _fallen _away, again to _be _renewing them to repentance, executing _on _a _stake in _themselves the son of_ the _god, and publicly _shaming him.
7 For/Because land which having _drunk the on it coming often rain, and bearing vegetation suitable, for _those because _of whom also it _is _being _cultivated, is _partaking of _blessing from the god, 8 but bringing _out thorns and thistles, unqualified is and a_curse near, of _which the end is to burning.
9 But we _have _been _persuaded concerning you _all, beloved, of _the better things and having of _salvation, if even thus we _are _speaking.
10 For/Because not unrighteous is the god, to _forget about _the work of _you _all, and of _the love which you _all _displayed toward the name of _him, having _served unto _the holy ones and serving.
11 And we _are _desiring each of _you _all the same to _be _displaying earnestness, toward the full _assurance of _the hope until the_end, 12 in _order _that not sluggish you _all _may _become, but imitators of _the ones through faith and patience, inheriting the promises.
