Hebrews 6:4-9

4For in the case of thoseG3588 who have onceG530 been 1enlightenedG5461 and have tastedG1089 of 2the heavenlyG2032 giftG1431 and have beenG1096 madeG1096 3partakersG3353 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 5and 4have tastedG1089 the goodG2570 5wordG4487 of GodG2316 and the powersG1411 of 6the ageG165 to comeG3195, 6and then have fallenG3895 awayG3895, it is 7impossibleG102 to renewG340 them againG3825 to repentanceG3341, 8 9since they againG388 crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 and putG3856 Him to openG3856 shameG3856. 7For groundG1093 that drinksG4095 the rainG5205 which oftenG4178 10fallsG2064 on it and bringsG5088 forthG5088 vegetationG1008 usefulG2111 to thoseG1565 11for whoseG3739 sakeG1223 it is alsoG2532 tilledG1090, receivesG3335 a blessingG2129 from GodG2316; 8but if it yieldsG1627 thornsG173 and thistlesG5146, it is worthlessG96 and 12closeG1451 13to being cursedG2671, and 14it endsG5056 up being burnedG2740.

9But, 15belovedG27, we are convincedG3982 of betterG2909 thingsG2909 concerningG4012 you, and things that 16accompanyG2192 salvationG4991, thoughG1487 G2532 we are speakingG2980 in thisG3779 wayG3779.
