Hebrews 6:8-12

8But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

9Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation.

10For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.

11And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,

12so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
