Warning Against Falling Away

6 Therefore ^(A)leaving ^(B)the ^[a]elementary teaching about the ^[b]Christ, let us press on to ^[c](C)maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from ^(D)dead works and of faith toward God, ² of ^(E)teaching about washings and ^(F)laying on of hands, and the ^(G)resurrection of the dead and ^(H)eternal judgment. ³ And this we will do, ^(I)if God permits. ⁴ For in the case of those once having been ^(J)enlightened and having tasted of ^(K)the heavenly gift and having become ^(L)partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and having ^(M)tasted the good ^(N)word of God and the powers of ^(O)the age to come, ⁶ and having fallen away, it is ^(P)impossible to renew them again to repentance, ^[d](Q)since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. ⁷ For ground that drinks the rain which often ^[e]falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those ^(R)for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; ⁸ but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is unfit and ^(S)close ^[f]to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
