⁴ For it is impossible, in the case of those ^(A)who have once been enlightened, who have tasted ^(B)the heavenly gift, and ^(C)have shared in the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and ^(D)have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, ⁶ and ^(E)then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since ^(F)they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

^2 (A)“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but ^(B)have tested those ^(C)who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. ³ I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up ^(D)for my name's sake, and you ^(E)have not grown weary. ⁴ But I have this against you, that you have abandoned ^(F)the love you had at first. ⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do ^(G)the works you did at first. If not, ^(H)I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
