For it is impossible to renew[a] again to repentance the ones having once been enlightened[b] and having tasted[c] the heavenly gift, and having been made[d] partakers[e] of the Holy Spirit, and having tasted the good word of God and the powers[f] of the coming age, and having fallen-away— crucifying-again[g] for themselves the Son of God, and publicly-disgracing Him. For land having drunk the rain coming often upon it, and producing a plant useful to those for whose sake it is also farmed, receives a blessing from God. But land bringing-forth thorns and thistles is disapproved[h] and near a curse[i], whose end[j] is for burning.
