Hebrews 6:1-8

1Therefore 1leaving 2the 3elementary teaching about the 4Christ, let us press on to 56maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from 7dead works and of faith toward God, 2of 8instruction about 9washings and 10laying on of hands, and about the 11resurrection of the dead and 12eternal judgment. 3And this we will do, 13if God permits. 4For it is 14impossible, in the case of those who have once been 15enlightened and have tasted of 16the heavenly gift and have been made 17partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and 18have tasted the good 19word of God and the powers of 20the age to come, 6and then have 21fallen away, to 22restore them again to repentance, 2324since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7For ground that drinks the rain which often 25falls on it and produces vegetation useful to those 26for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and 2728close to being cursed, and 29it ends up being burned.
