Hebrews 6:8-12

8but if it yieldsG1627 thornsG173 and thistlesG5146, it is worthlessG96 and 1 2closeG1451 to being cursedG2671, and 3it endsG5056 up being burnedG2740.

9But, 4belovedG27, we are convincedG3982 of betterG2909 thingsG2909 regardingG4012 you, and things that 5accompanyG2192 salvationG4991, evenG2532 thoughG1487 we are speakingG2980 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779. 10For 6GodG2316 is not unjustG94 so as to forgetG1950 7your workG2041 and the loveG26 whichG3739 you have shownG1731 towardG1519 His nameG3686, by having 8servedG1247 and by still servingG1247 the 9saintsG40. 11And we desireG1937 that eachG1538 oneG1538 of you demonstrateG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 10so as to realize the 11fullG4136 assuranceG4136 of 12hopeG1680 untilG891 the endG5056, 12soG2443 thatG2443 you will not be sluggishG3576, but 13imitatorsG3402 of thoseG3588 who throughG1223 14faithG4102 and enduranceG3115 15inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
