Hebrews 6:8-12

8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and 12close to being cursed, and 3it ends up being burned.

9But, 4beloved, we are convinced of better things regarding you, and things that 5accompany salvation, even 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, by having 8served and by still serving the 9saints. 11And we desire that each one of you demonstrate 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 endurance 15inherit the promises.
