Hebrews 6:1-8

Modern English Version

6 Therefore, leaving the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, ² of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. ³ This we will do if God permits.

⁴ For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who shared in the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, ⁶ if they fall away, to be renewed once more to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and subject Him to public shame. ⁷ For land that drinks in the rain that often falls upon it and bears a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a blessing from God. ⁸ But land that bears thorns and thistles is rejected and near to being cursed. Its destiny is to be burned.
