Hebrews 6:8-12

8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and 1close 2to being cursed, and 3it ends up being burned.

9But, 4beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that 5accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. 10For 6God is not unjust so as to forget 7your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having 8ministered and in still ministering to the 9saints. 11And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence 10so as to realize the 11full assurance of 12hope until the end, 12so that you will not be sluggish, but 13imitators of those who through 14faith and patience 15inherit the promises.
