Hebrews 6, in context
1Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[SUP]
a[/SUP] and of faith in God,
2instruction about cleansing rites,[SUP]
b[/SUP] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3And God permitting, we will do so.
John is talking to new converts, encouraging them to grow and mature in Christ.
