Hebrews 6:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 For in the case of those once having been (A)enlightened and having tasted of (B)the heavenly gift and having become (C)partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and having (D)tasted the good (E)word of God and the powers of (F)the age to come, 6 and having fallen away, it is (G)impossible to renew them again to repentance, [a](H)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 [b]falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those (I)for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is unfit and (J)close [c]to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

Hebrews 6:4-8
New Living Translation
4 For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— 6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.
7 When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing. 8 But if a field bears thorns and thistles, it is useless. The farmer will soon condemn that field and burn it.
